PREMIUM BOND THREAD

[Blondeshavemorefun]

Thought better start new one as last one almost full

Let’s hope we win big November for Christmas

25 on almost full holdings across 2 acounts. Would have liked more but pleased we won something as didn't last month.

Nothing for me but £50 for DH so not a bad morning

Nothing for me in £30k. First month I've never won anything!

I googled this morning to see if the January draw was somehow bigger, as we had a good haul - despite me messing up by withdrawing £20k from DH’s holdings one day before the draw date (to overpay the mortgage).

So DH got 2 x £25 on a £300 holding (yes really!) and I got 4 x £25 on a full holding. I’m very happy!

@PlinkPlankPlunk - wow that result for your husband is fantastic. Although, yours is not bad either - congratulations.

£25 on over 65k
I'm starting to agree with a few pp that maybe this isn't the best place for my money
And agree with another pp who said we haven't had anyone on here win big (or have we?)
Does anyone even know anyone who won a big prize? Relatively recently?

3x £25 win for me (£30k holding) and 1x £25 for DS (£1.4k holding) - very pleased for both of us. I imagine that's us done for the year 😂

Nothing again this month - I think between us DH and I are tracking at the equivalent of 1%. Going to withdraw some to pay off some more of the mortgage instead though.

Just £25 for me on a full holding.

@fedup078 - I can’t remember anyone on here winning more than £1000 in the last year or so. My biggest single win was £500 (December 2020). I’m pretty sure the £1000 win was more recent than that.

I won £1000 in December. My biggest win was £5k about five years ago.

I think there was someone here last month with 1k

@Iveputmyselfonthenaughtystep the problem with putting it all in one child’s name is that legally it becomes their money so you can’t force them to split it. Hopefully they would do as you wish, but you never know what they might be like at 18 so it’s a bit risky.

I've just worked out I had £550 on full holdings in the last year

@Iveputmyselfonthenaughtystep it would probably be best to give each child some bonds, but set it to pay out prizes to an account that you then split between them.

I have a 30K holding. Won £100 in July (my first month) and £25 in August. Nothing since.

£25 x 4 for us on full holdings. Good start to the year.

Haven't won anything since September but very pleased to wake up to one £25 and one £500 win this morning.

5 x £25 on full holding

Very happy with that

3 x £25 on £11,750 invested. A return so far of around 1.8% which beats any other savings accounts I have.

£50 for me on full holding.

£0 on £30k for second month in a row.

As previously mentioned, if this money was not needed for my tax bills each year, there is no way I would be using this for growth.

Nothing for me on 20K and nothing for DS on 7K. Very disappointing!

After a dry spell I've got 3 x £25, on about £45k.
