I've used zopa for a long time and now also assetzcapital which lend money short term to businesses with charges against property ect to cover possible losses. These often pay 1% a month on 6-10 month short term or 13% if loaned for longer. Check it out but with any investment spread your bets.
I use www.tuckshopsweets.com owned by a Brighton fan and my fave is Pear Drops mmmmmmmm
Yes it's a shameless plug!! If anyone is interested I can offer free postage for a while
Use promo code BHAFC for the postage cheers :-)
