Due to us bucking the trend and having cleared dept and stayed in a modest house but progressing into better and better paid jobs we have about 50k kicking around in a joint savings account. My view is to leave it where it is as the returns through ISA and decent current accounts equate to less than a heavy weekend away... However, I thought I'd ask the question here as whilst we don't want to loose the money we would consider some longer term investments where some rough riding may be needed for a longer term gain.... Any advise?

Never bothered about money before but since we have a small amount now I agree we need to do something. Mortgage is still to much for that to clear but the repayments are well within my comfort zone so not bothered. If pushed we can add 2k mth to the pot but life needs living in case we die tomorrow (no kids so no worries there either).
