Saving accounts

Hi all, hope I've posted in the right forum, I'm looking for some advice, what I'm planning to do is have my own house built, I intend to remain in my present house and move in on completion, so to finance the operation I will be cashing in my savings ie stocks and shares and various accounts, as the builder will want paying every six to eight weeks I want to set up a bank account with all the said money in, so I can keep track of all my outgoings, what I want to know is there any good accounts to put a large sum into, (which as I only want to access every couple of months) that pay a monthly interest rate worth having or is there anything else that anyone could advise

    You shouldn't keep more than £85K in any financial institution (or not more than £170K if a joint account).

    This board is littered with questions similar to yours, perhaps have a good root round to get a some ideas? Sounds to me a n interest-paying current account or two could perhaps be the right solution.......
