    The top instant access savings on the web I believe are ICICI or IceSave at the moment.
    Indecision is the key to flexibility :)

    I know you say your not interested in shares, but you could potentially put in 4k to a stocks and shares isa for a little risk. The possibilities of making money are much greater if you select the correct fund.
