    i posted something similar here a few weeeks back.

    The responses youre likely to get will be...

    1. buy a car, go on holiday, enjoy life

    2. buy half bOI & half AIB shares

    3. put it on a horse.

    4. put it in some obscure savings scheme that will net you about 1% over the next 5 years, but end up losing 4 % in inflation.

    5. Property(hardly with 8k though, really!)

    Sorry!

    Ask at your bank if they have any high yield 30 day or 60 day notice accounts. Unfortunately at the moment the interest rate isn't a whole lot better than a standard account.......

    Northern Rock are good at the moment with over 3% APR but i think thats just for savings.

    Check here for the best buys.
