Savings help / advice pls...

Hi everyone,

Was hoping someone could give me advice or help point me in the right direction, i will admit i dont have much knowledge when it comes to savings and different types of accounts.... I have £1000 in savings that is just sitting in my normal bank account so decided it would be better put in a different type of account and try and earn some interest on it, I should be getting another £1000 to join it by the end of the year and hoping to be able to put a bit away each month, but will then need to be able to withdraw bits of it at start of 2011 for my wedding.

Please can someone advise which type of account and which bank im best off going with.

Much appreciated ;)

    If you haven't already got one, and you are a taxpayer, then you ought first to get yourself an ISA.
