Re: premium bonds.
I had to post the form to get access/information, so did that in the 10 days ago. Just got to wait for the info to come back to me so I can find out if I've won anything in the last 8 years!!

Nawt. 
They're not feeling particularly premium to me. They're more like a skanking-scummer-nan-in-the-pool-at-a-cheap-holiday-camp bond.

The comparable interest rates are only something like 4% (ish) on PBs, so you're only going to get £250-350 a month if the two of you max it out with a hundred bags between you in there.
You can't moan if you're only getting 4% of next to nothing.

Re: premium bonds.
Nothing this month.
Which is to be expected as I've been way over the odds recently.

Re: premium bonds.
Zip.
There's 17k in there now and all I've had this year is two £50's.
First week of Feb my £20K NS&I 4% Bond matures.
Both together would pay my mortgage off, but it's only 1.12% with 3 years left on that rate. I might just bung it all in another bond if I can get near 6%. It will sure beat this years premium winnings!

Re: premium bonds.
I've got a couple of bonds maturing in Jan too.
Nothing demonstrates getting older better than the feeling of "wow, that came around quick!". Honestly would have said I'd only just done it

Re: premium bonds.
Did a lost account search this week as I vaguely remember someone saying they had bought me premium bonds when I was still knee high to a grashopper.
Good news is they were right and I do indeed have some long forgotten bonds, bad news is only £20 worth, worse news is they have never won a bean in 40 years

Re: premium bonds.
On £2700 for the year for a 6.75% return.
I realise I can get an easy 6%, but the thrill of getting that message..........and of course, one day we'll be millionaires!

Re: premium bonds.
Bollocks!
I got this email from some bloke who told me I could get 12% minimum on crypto.
All I got to do is send him the codes on an apple voucher for £1000 and I'll be in clover this time next year..........
