£1,000 saving + an extra £2,000 over the next 6 months

Hello.

I'm a student and have recently sold my car as I can no longer afford to run it and have received £1,000. I want earn interest on this and having looked round the site I'm considering putting it in an ISA with National Savings & Investments.

Now it's unlikely I will need the £1,000 until I finish my course in 2009 however when I receive my rent money I will fill the rest of my £3,000 allowance up but I will definitely need this back by early Sept 2008.

For piece of mind I would like to have access to this money (with notice of course) in an emergency however I have no plans to touch it until the dates I've mentioned above.

Let me know what you think, if you have a better idea please say it will be much appreciated.

Thank you.
