Short term investment

We have just sold our house in order to move nearer to my husband's work. It was a 28 day exchange cash sale, so have decided to move in with in-laws rather than be rushed into buying something.

My husband has now had some approaches about working abroad, but this would be in 6-9 months time, so at the moment we are unsure as to where we will end up, in the meantime we have £100k equity from the property we have just sold. What would be the best way to invest this money for a 6-9 month period. My husaband is a 40% tax payer and I am a housewife.

Could anybody advise please.

    Forget investing. Your timescale is not long enough unless you are very very high risk when it comes to investing. Stick with savings accounts.
