    Short term then you need to stay in cash. Longer term then stock market investment might give better returns, you probably need to state your aims and situation in more detail to get more relevant comments.

    You can put your money into multiple current accounts paying 3-5% which are far better than any savings or cash isas.

    Numerous references in these boards to teh accounts with Santander, nationwide, lloyds tsb etc.

    Congrats. As bigadaj rightly mentions, you need to provide more information, such as the timeframe you're looking to save/invest, your ages and your incomes.
