If you had £1,000 to invest would you?

Put it in ICESAVE currently paying 5.7%

I would go with A or E. But is that 5.25% net or gross? Abbey are doing an ISA that currently gets you 5.5% gross and that is tax free. If you do a search online you will probably get something better than that through an internet account. Internet banks don't have any utility costs so can usually give you a better rate than somewhere on the high street.

As for something else; if you are looking for short term - you could probably invest it in a 1 or 2 year bond that will give you a reasonable return. Corporate bonds are good - usually you get your original capital back plus a fixed amount of interest. Or if you are looking for a longer investment then most assurance companies will offer you a 5 to 10 year bond (ie: Prudential, Norwich Union, AXA, although most will only take new business through a financial adviser).

If you already have an existing pension you could top it up, but I would speak to a financial adviser before starting a pension now. Some will tell you that they are not as good as they used to be; with tax relief possibly changing in the future, a savings account (or property) may be better use at retirement.

Put it into an NS&I account, you can take some or all out in future if you want without notice or loss of interest. Don't gamble it & don't give it to Gordon Brown, they already have their luxury jaguar limousines from our money, they don't need anything else, thieves.

If it was my only £1000 it would be A

If it was just a windfall and I had lots more then I would put it on red in a Casino

If I was feeling charitable it would be D

I'd put it into the social lending site zopa http://www.zopa.com/ which you can get a return of 5 - 14% from and it's a relatively safe, low risk thing.

something else id buy a car and get a fukll tank of petrol dnt laugh u can get a good motor 4 thAT nowa days

I'd buy premium bonds Then you'd have the chance to win loads more, nut if you needed to cash them in you can at any time.

A! and then in a few years I would take it out and spend the lot!

does that little scribble sign before the money amount mean franks? if so, i have another question for you, how much is that in american money? im only used to these:$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ oh yeah, but i would do option (a) even though im not sure what the amount of money you have is worth where you live...i hardly know what im talking about anymore. adios!!

premium bonds,don`t you think this the government has had enough out of you.........give them b@stards nothing,they would sell their own mother if they thought it would make a few quid..!!
