Hi all,

I have £750 a month put aside each month for the January's self assessment bill. Its sat in a rubbish esaver account gaining minimal interest, does anyone have any suggestions of anywhere this could be wisely invested for a short term gain. (may internet searches return accounts where no more than £250 per month can be deposited)

Unfortunately im stuck on a fixed rate mortgage with no offset option, I have played with shares and made a small amount but wouldn't want to risk a large pot that I will need come January! My thinking is premium bonds but have never had a return on them in the past.

Any ideas appreciated.

As luck would have it, my own investment arm is about to issue a limited number of Oude Joris Bewdetter Guaranteed Return Bonds. Demand is always high and I do give preference to existing customers, but if you PM me quickly, you will be able to take advantage of this exciting investment opportunity.

Premium bonds suck.

So you are looking for a very short term investment with amazing returns with zero risk.
