we got approx 2k saving but due some backdated money soon, prob bringing total to around 4-5k, its just sat in a regular current account at the moment. do u think we should change to a savings account? i have an old halifax saver account, bog-standard type. thing is, we will need to withdraw most of it for our wedding early next year, so really my question is, where is the safest place for our money to sit for the next 4-5 months, and if theres any interest on the go in that small time, that would be great too... thanks x

Stick the first £3,600 in an instant access ISA.
Should be able to get over 6% at Nat West or HSBC.0 -
Yep, and most of the remainder in an internet account with your current account provider, from which you can switch instantly online as and when you need to pay the bills.No-one would remember the Good Samaritan if he'd only had good intentions. He had money as well.
The problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people's money.
