Rule #1 of salary negotiation, when asked, *never* quote a number! :)
Don't tell them what you currently make, don't tell them what you're looking for.
"Hmm....I'm confident you'll offer a fair salary."
Yes, I know, it's nearly impossible to do this, in practice, but, the goal is to never put out a number. Let them make an offer, then, when they do, make sure you have your best poker face on, and tell them you'll consider it.
Also, don't forget, this is a good opportunity to negotiate for vacation time. If you have enough seniority at your current company to get, for example, 4 weeks of vacation, and they start new employees with 1 week, don't be afraid to negotiate for additional vacation time.
