Default UK - Where to Invest my £4000

Just cashed out £4000 from my bankroll to invest.
My goal is to save at least £40k with a view to putting down a deposit on a house. I am guessing the timeframe for me to save this much to be in the region of 12-30 months and I will not intend to touch the money before that time.

What's my best option?

High interest savings account or CD.

Hi. I'm in a similar position. What exactly is a CD? I'm a complete noob, verging on idiot!

Are ISA's not the best way to invest the first £3k?

CD was a joke. high interest savings account obv way to go.

a CD stands for coke & dope. kinda like hookers and blow.

always invest in ISA for your first £3k. even if you end out withdrawing, at least you had a chance of keeping it in there enjoying tax free interest for years to come.

either way though just stick it in cash ISA or high interest account.
