    Nothing for me on 22k.
    That's 4 consecutive months of Nothing. 

    Only about £275 in total for the whole year compared to about £1250 last year. 

    Think I'll transfer the money into something else in January.

    £200 this month (25k holding), £125 for Mrs (max) and zero for jnr (10k). £625 over the last 6 months for me is keeping me hooked.  :#

    I've got a couple of stocks and shares ISAs with different providers. Thinking of closing them both and sticking in a fixed term savings account. Any thoughts?
    Not sure what having them with different providers makes to your decision ? 

    Why do you want to come out the market & go into cash?  Do you need the money soon ?

    Also, dont take the money out as you'll lose the tax free advantage. At least transfer the money from one ISA provider to another ISA provider.. That way they will still be inside an ISA wrapper. 


    A while back I stopped reinvesting the cash dividends in my Stocks and shares ISA back into shares. I recently transferred that accumulated cash from the Stocks and Shares ISA to a newly opened Cash ISA. This was from Halifax Share Dealing to Kent Reliance Building Society.

    It was a bit of a mare because both them seem to struggle with the fact, isn’t wasnt a Cash ISA to Cash ISA transfer. However, got there in the end.

    £75 for me on full holding. Been a relatively weak 6 months on PB after a great first half of the year.

    £200 for me on 43k. Better than average this year but not enough to make the year yield respectable. 

    On the other hand I have to consider that its one of the UK based holdings that people resident abroad can legitimately hold.

    £100 for me, full holding. 2.55% for the year. Not great but it’s the only “gamble” I have so had the fun of some what if daydreaming too.
