Firstly when it comes to Finance, I'm not the most clued up. So I'm hoping for some advice to point me in the right direction.

My Wife and I are trying to save up a deposit for our first house. I'm 33 and she's 31, so we're intent on it happening this year. More so as we are trying for a child. Currently we're saving £1,000 a month and putting it into her normal savings account, which has a poor interest rate.

My question is would it be worth investing that £1,000 in Stocks and Bonds, or is the time frame too short and the risk too high?

Had a feeling that might be the answer, but thank you.
