 Losing interest in my savings - Iffy
My cash ISA statement was in the mini-backlog of post delivered today.

It tells me the near three thousand quid in the account has earned the princely sum of £14.28 in interest in the last year.

Surely I could do better than that?

I have instant access to the money, but I would be prepared to lock it away for, I dunno, up to a year, if it meant a decent return.

The ISA is with NatWest and is effectively 'no risk".

I imagine I'm going to have to accept some risk to achieve a significantly better return.

That's OK by me, but what I'm not going to do is invest the lot in the next Polly Peck.

I'm aware some members are rightly wary of being seen to offer investment advice, but I can assure you any suggestions will be taken in the right spirit.
