    I would be looking for something that pays at least 3% on savings. Have you got an ISA? there are several instant access ones that pay 3% tax free.

    On your Lloyds account........the £1000 per month just has to enter the account. If you have £2000 in there, move £1000 out and back in again.

    Maybe you could open a Halifax Reward account, cycle the £1000 through it and pick up £5 per month for doing so.

    I just tried to apply for a Halifax Reward account online but it failed - only been back in the UK for 5 months, and had to put in my previous overseas address - maybe that's why?
