    If you've not taken out ISAs this year then do that asap so you get the £20k allowance each. You can open another in April and get another £40k in total so that means £80k is protected from tax. With rates rising cash ISAs are becoming worthwhile again, I'm even thinking of opening one!
    Remember the saying: if it looks too good to be true it almost certainly is.

    I’d wait till after the next Premium Bond draw now. Apply for the accounts you want and setup the withdrawals so NS&I send you the money as soon as the draw is completed. You should earn more leaving the money in the next draw than interest on the next 14 days ish.
