fixed 1-2yr bond at 6% (4.8% net) @ Kent Reliance
with the recent 1.5% base rate reduction and potentially more to come. I've recently pulled some money from my offset mortgage (as mine tracks base rate + 0.49%) to pour into one of their bonds to 'tart' from the higher rate.

download the application form and apply by post
from speaking to customer services, i'm under the impression they'll process applications up to the 28th, but they may pull the deal from the website at anytime
