Help needed re house sale investment

Options
Hi

Hope you can help. I have recently sold my house and will have approx £74000 profit. I will be moving in with my parents and so will be looking to buy in the next few months. I am wondering where to put my money as i will need to be able to get at it asap and would like monthly interest paid on it. I would also be grateful for an idea of how much interest I would receive monthly. How do the calculations work out and where can I go to see this info on a calculator type basis

Please advise

many thanks

    I would use ING direct, personally.

    Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea.

    You dont want to be investing it as you only have a few months. You would have to be extreme high risk in nature to consider doing that.

    Stick to savings accounts.

    If you need it within the next 6 months, I don't think you'll beat the new "bonus savings account" from https://www.cahoot.co.uk.
