OK, not really an investment and definitely in the "every little helps" category, but those of you with a 1-2-3 account and a suitable energy supplier can play the system a bit.
Every July, my energy supplier reviews the balance of my account and if it is significantly in credit, it refunds the surplus to my bank account. It also allows me to tinker with my direct debit amount online. I'm not sure if this is universal, but if your supplier is the same, it is worth cranking up your payments about now. A tax-free 2% earned on the overpayments, and in July it'll be safely back in your bank account.
