You can get interest if you bank it.Find out who you are and do that on purpose (thanks to Owain Wyn Jones quoting Dolly Parton)0

:rotfl: Throw a huge party:rotfl:
Or, if you must, I guess that you could put it in a high interest account. Might be worth waiting a couple of days though because they've just mentioned on the radio that interest rates are about to rise again so you could get a great interest rate."Life's Too Short To Drink Bad Wine"0 -
i think you should open it and put it in the bank let it earn some interest and watch it grow!!!
Congratulations by the way for filling it up!!!!DMP No-- 164

What is the purpose of the savings? If it's to put towards a holiday or Christmas or something then I would empty and put into an online savings account (which will probably give you the best rate).
If the purpose of saving is to pay extra off a debt then I would pay it straight onto that as you probably won't get as much interest on savings as you pay on debts (unless you've got a 0% cc in which case stick it in an account and get some interest).
Can't wait to hear how much it added up to....and of course what you do with it.
