Various ways...

- Utilize the extra £1 in your pocket and put it on top..

- Bet it all on a 100-1 horsey..

- Bet it all on yourself to become the first male to give birth

Erm...

- Get a second job ? !

short term. Happy to take a risk but no share dealing (thats where the money is coming from!)

I want something that i can have a certain control on not an outright bit of luck

ISA is probably your best method. Ain't going to make you much, but if there was an easy get-rich-quick-from-£1300 scheme, then we'd all be doing it!

Bung it in an ISA

Doosht · 27 Sep 2006 at 09:57

no, not isa or banks. Short term.

To be honest you really wont make an awful lot of money on £1300 wherever you put it..

You could utilize an ISA / high interest savings account.... why dont you put it into a pension (if you have one) ?

Do you have a mortgage ? - pay some of that off..

@ OP, like I said the best way would be to buy an sell things if you want to make money quite quickly and are willing to take a risk.

As stocks are ruled out, then either gamble, or buy some cheap stock of something, and try to sell it with a mark up (e.g. like the car flag sellers did during the football WC).

Premium bonds. No interest but no risk.

Redeem when you want.

Could win a million

If the OP has an offset mortgage he should put it into whatever account the mortgage is linked to.
