Self employed - can I open one of the best buy savings accs?

If I have to have my salary paid in each month? or can I just transfer money from my husbands account if there are any months that I don't have any money coming in? or some months - there will be various amounts from various companies?
I really want to keep my earnings separate from other monies.

    doesnt matter for savings acs - you dont need regular income.
    do you mean regular savers?

    the article on the best current accounst on here says you have to pay your salary into some of them and others you have to have a certain level of salary. Mine will fluctuate as not a 'true salary'

    Yes and you asked about savings accounts and posted on the savings accounts board. No mention of current accounts... see the current account board.

    Anyway most best buy current accounts need to be funded by a certain level per month. Provided you earn enough to qualify there is nothing to stop you taking the money out and paying it back in again in order to reach the maximum paid in per month.
