PREMIUM BONDS - august onwards !!!

[Blondeshavemorefun]

Know other thread is near the end

So this is for when previous one is full

£200 for me on £20k holdings (1 x £100, 1 x £50 and 2 x £25)

£50!! I’ve only got £9k holdings. I won £100 in April so I’m doing okay!

Nothing for me, just over £30k holding

£25 on £13k holding

£225 (1x25, 2x50, 1x100) on full holdings. Better than last month. DH isn’t awake yet, so I don’t know what he got.

Carrot lady is way too pleased to have won a bunch of carrots, btw.

£1075 and racing ahead as our months winner so far

Congrats

£100 for me on £6500
£0 for my son on £8000

£350 this month on £50k .

Can I have this month's wooden spoon?

big fat zero on FH
DH got £100, lucky b - he's done quite well these past few months, which is nice as I'm normally the lucky one.

@sashagabadon

Fabulous!

That nice ice cream boy confirmed that I had won £200 on £45k. Nothing for DS or DP on much smaller holdings.

I'm happy - £1,800 since April. Though that's only 4% and is heavily influenced by my highest sun ever which was £1025.

£50 for me on just under 10k, had lady laughing with carrots, so pleased to win something. I’m putting more into s&s isa these days instead of PBs.
Well done to all that have won and better luck next time to the ones that didn’t.
Roll on next month, I just love the build up to the end of the month! 😊

Zero here as well on full holding. I’m seriously looking at alternatives today. I topped up to FH in April and have only won one £25 since so an appalling return.

It looks like I’m not alone. I think maybe they’re good for the fun factor if you have a few thousand, but at FH level I want my money to work for me.

£250 on FH this month

I've only got a couple more months of these because it'll soon be used to buy my ex-husband out of the house. But it's been fun checking the numbers and most months I have won something although no individual number over £100.

I always think PB are so much fun but like others, I had a substantial win first month and it makes me very suspicious that it isn't so random somehow! I haven’t used all my ISA allowance as I was enjoying the hope of a big win but I'll be transferring mine now.

£50 on a full holding.

When will I get the big one?????

£100 for me this month on just over £9k.

I haven't had anything for a few months so I'm really pleased with £100!

£100 yay! I haven’t had them a full year yet but equivalent interest works out around nearly 4%, which is brilliant as I’d have to pay tax on the lot if they weren’t in PBs

Hooray 2 x £50 for me on £15.5k and £50 for dh on £5.5k. Very pleased as had only won once this year!

£175 for DH (1x25, 1x50, 1x100).

Nothing for DD on £15k. Again. That’s a whole year without a win for her (her last win was £50 last September). Although she hasn’t had that amount in her holding for the whole time.

£150 on 11k. Takes me to £450 for the year, so am happy with that!

Nothing for me but won in August and June so not complaining.

Me £50 on £26,000
ds1 nothing on £13,000
ds2 £100 on £6000
