Answer 1

If you PayPal account, you can transfer it to your PayPal account and leave it there without spending for now.  PayPal also lets you set up your core balance as a money market account, and thus you can earn a reasonable money market rate on even small amounts of money.  It won't be much for one pound, but a little is better than wasting it on something you don't need...

Answer 2

thats not a lot of money.  I admire your conviction to try and re invest it, though.  Your best bet is to get a few more pounds and then go to the site www.kiva.org.  you can lend your money to a small business in a third world.  You find the best candidate, negotiate the terms and if you picked the right recipient you will get your return.
