Best account to save for a deposit in please?
Hi all, I'm coming out of lurkerdom to tap the collective wisdom of this board. OH and I are saving for a deposit, slowly but surely. We can only save about £100 a month as we don't earn much, but there may be extra lump sums to add from time to time. What would be our best idea for an account to put this in? TIA.

Lower Tax on Savings
As the Government has lowered VAT to kickstart the economy, why not lower the tax on savings interest so that, across the board, it is 10% instead of 20%. Is that too simple? Surely this would partly mitigate the lower interest rates.
