no, not to any of you or spending it on more bikes.

I will need it all in the new year, so want low risk something, but hate my bank so don't even want to talk to them lying ^%£"£"^ about where to put it.

what should I look at?

Thanks.

Premium bonds? Is it an account now? If so, just leave it there?

It'll earn nowt in 3 months whatever you do (unless you buy a load of guns/drugs!). Leave it where it is I'd say

For three months you're unlikely to get an instant access rate of any significance. In premium bonds, at least you get around three chances of winning a million quid! (However low that may be) taking in to account that this opportunity costs you zilch, I second premium bonds.

3 months isn't long enough to get any better rates than what you have now, so I would have a punt at premium bonds. Worse case you don't win and you may be lucky, just check when you buy them, you may miss a months drew so only be in for one.

Give it to the missus? Don't take this the wrong way, but I get the impression she's "the responsible one". 🙂

LOL at mr m wright.

The Mrs would spend it far quicker than me!

Hmm, 3 months would be the minimum, but looks like I should just check out premium bonds then.

Thanks.

I am DR CHARLES PIEDO, the director in charge of auditing and accounting section of international bank of Africa Lome-Togo in west Africa with due respect and regards. I have decided to contact you on a business transaction that will be very beneficial to both of us at the end of the transaction.

During our investigation and audting in this bank, my department came across a very huge sum of money belonging to a deceased person who died on November 1997 in a plane crash and the fund has been dormant in his account with this bank without any claim of the fund in our custody either from his family or relation before our discovery to this development.

Although personally, I kept this information secret within myself and partner to enable the whole plans and idea be pofitable and successful during the time of execution. The said amount was USD$14m (fourtheen million united states dorllars). As it may intrest you to know, I got your impressive information through my good friend who works with chamber of commerce on foriegn business relations here in Lome-Togo. It is him who recommended your person to me to be viable and capable to champion a business of such magnitude without any problem. Meanwhile all the whole arrangement to put claim over this fund as the bonafide next of kin to the deceased, get the required approval and transfer this money to a foriegn account has been put in place and directives and needed information will be relayed to you as soon as you indicate your intrest and willingness to assist us and also benefit your self to this great business opportunity.
Back to top

In fact I could have done this deal alone but because of my position in this country as a civil servant, we are not allowed to operate a foriegn account and would eventually raise an eye brow on my side during the time of transfer because I work in this bank. This is the actual reason why it will require a second party or fellow who will forward claims as the next of kin with affidavit of trust of Oath to the bank and also present a foriegn account where he will need the money to be re-transfered into on his request as it may be after due verification and clarification by designation bank account.

I will not fail to inform you that this transaction is 100% risk free. On smoth conclusion of this transaction, you will be entitiled to 30% of the total sum as gratification, while 10% will be set aside to take care of expenses that may arise during the time of transfer and also telephone bills, while 60% will be for me and my partners. Please,you have been adviced to keep top secret as we are still in service and intend to retire from service after we conclude this deal with you. I will be monitoring the whole situation here in this bank until you confirm the money in your account. And ask us to come down to your country for subsequent sharing of the fund according to percentages previously indicated and further investment, either in your country or any country you advice us to invest in.All other necessary information will be sent to you when I hear from you.I suggest you get back to me as soon as possible stating your wish in this deal.

Yours faithfully,
Dr CHARLES PIEDO

Have a look at Anglo-Irish. They did have some good rates with quick access.

You might be able to tell them you want it in exactly three months and avoid needing instant access...

LloydsTSB has an Incentive Saver account where You get interest monthly. It's not much as it works out around 2.4%p.a. after tax, but it's always better than leaving it in an account that gives You 0 ;-). Instant access as well but if You pay out something You won't get interest that month. Works pretty well and almost zero risk.

For 3 months it's almost a waste of time. Your interst payments will be pennies. Stick it in premium bonds and keep your fingers crossed for 3 months.

bear in mind that for premium bonds they have to be in for a full calendar month before they are in the draw

"When Bonds go into the draw
Your Bonds become eligible to take part in the prize draws once you have held them for a full calendar month following the month you bought them. They then go into every draw until you decide to cash them in, giving you the chance every month to win tax-free prizes.
"

I would do premium bonds or find the highest paying instant access account, that's the best you can do for no risk.
