Filled up ISA allowance - what next?

Options
Hi everyone,

Having recently reached the yearly £3000 limit on my Abbey Postal ISA, I was hoping someone could offer me some suggestions as to which regular savings account I should open in order to maximise my interest on future savings.

I was considering premium bonds but Ive had £1000 worth for close to a year now and won nothing.

I save £500 from my salary each month and this money is currently sitting in a bog-standard Abbey current account.

Any suggestions would be gratefully received!
