    Certainly with the Halifax Regular Saver (possibly RBS too), you can vary the amount you pay in each month (up to £500 with Halifax).

    So just increase your standing order when you want to pay in more, and decrease it when you don't want to pay as much.

    This would be the best way of doing it, as you won't get 5% elsewhere.

    Dianachris,
    NSI Index Linked. Need to buy in 100 pound minimum.
    If gold prices dip put the odd sovereign away. But wait for prices to head back towards 150/60 each.
