I am now debt-free. Until I buy a house, anyway.

Bloody hell.

Before I go and see some sort of financial advisor, can anyone give me any inspiration and point me to any scheme/bank/building society/etc I can invest some money and get a return greater than 5 to 7%?

    I'll invest your money for you, and can guarantee that you'll receive back at least 7% at the end of the investment term. Heck I'm feeling generous, make it 10%.

    collect all your spare cash into a sack and bury it in your garden, hopefully a money tree will grow.

    you need to set up a barb wire fence to stop it being stolen by leprechauns/ gnomes/ podinton peas and the rats of nimh.

    If only it were that easy! Unfortunately interest rates are very low at the moment and following the April BoE meeting I wouldn't expect them to change for the remainder of the year.

    You're unlikely to find much better rates than those you mentioned without a degree of risk, though if you're prepared to invest for the medium to long term you might want to consider the stock market, or take a look at a stocks and shares ISA now that we're starting a new financial year. Some of the more bullish analysts believe there are another 500 points or so in the FTSE - but I'm a bit sceptical about that. It may be better to wait and see how the Iran crisis and oil prices affect world markets first.

    Ah you're in my club now.

    I'm so rich now, that if I drop a 50 quid note. I'm just to lazy to expend any energy picking it up.

    I've got a good one.

    I'm so rich, I keep a wad of ?1000 notes under the sink in case I run out of toilet paper. :)

    did you ever hear about the scotsman who dropped a 50p, as he bent down to pick it up it hit him on the back of the head.
