    Cash ISA's are a joke. If length of time before you need the money >5 years, go low cost global index funds for ALL your ISA funds. Yes, they will go up and down but I am averaging 11%/year, I don't care if I never pay off my 2.5% mortgage....

    Coventry BS have offered good cash ISA deals over the past couple of years. Their online banking though is something out of the 80s, analogically speaking.

    On reflection with the imminent interest rates rise I will probably pay off the £40K I was going to re-invest to paying off my mortgage instead - this will give me a mortgage of just £15K, which a couple of months gigging should pay off
