    Just to note, I actually have two of those accounts as my late wife's account passed to me... but still, I don't know if that's a good place for so much money!
  • Have you thought about a Monday to Friday rent a room?

    it would ease your commute , you won't have to sell or make any huge life changing decisions and still be home Friday to Monday to keep a relationship with your daughters

    Back in the 70s, my dad had to move half way up the country for work, coming home Friday to Monday every fortnight. It wasn't easy ( but we were very young )but we survived it

    123 account interest can be matched without the monthly fee. Longer term accounts give better interest. Try asking on the savings board.
