Best place to put savings as a couple?

Options
My girlfriend and I run a business in addition to our jobs which earns us around £700 to £1,200 a month. We don't need this money as part of our monthly outgoings so want to save this money to put towards a house deposit or something similar.

Ideally we would set up some kind of joint ISA but I'm guessing that isn't possible, does anyone have any good ideas on how to manage this saving?

    Joint ISAs don't exist (the "I" is for 'Individual').

    How about a joint Santander 123 account? Or you each open a Lloyds Club current account and an associated Club regular saver. The latter pays 4% p.a. on up to £400 p.m.; the interest will come next tax year so should presumably be tax free.
    Free the dunston one next time too.

    Current accounts as suggested, and regular savers.
