Premium bonds - weird coincidence

[PeteXXX]

Nothing here.. Again.. 😔

 

[mistyoptic]

Nothing for me. £125 for Mrs Optic

 

[vickster]

£25…pathetic given the rather large vet bills I have to pay

 

[glasgowcyclist]

Sod all. Again. 😠

 

[mistyoptic]

Maybe a lot of other people did the same and diluted the 'pot'

Doesn’t work like that. The more people buy, the bigger the pot

 

[Mo1959]

A £50 and 2 x £25 for me. Still falling short of a decent savings bond though.

It is bad, 50k is earning around £160 per month in a relatively mid paying isa now, glad I moved mine a few months ago.

I’m at the ISA limit though for this year, and everything else is taxable.
At least I’m getting more from the PBs than the shocking shares ISA which is around -6% still

I was fortunate in that I could fund last year and this years isa within a couple of weeks of each other, I'll probably stick any spare cash in the PBs for the time being, but it won't be getting anywhere near 50k again

Cool, I managed to miss the 2022/23 deadline for my cash isa and was about 8k short annoyingly 🙄 I did shift an old one into a much better rate. I’ve got a bond maturing next month so will need to find somewhere for that (or blow it on a couple of holidays )

I am in the same boat with ISA's. Perhaps that nice Jeremy Hunt may increase the limit in the future. From next April I will fall into the tax bracket for Share Dividends as he has lowered the threshold on that.

There must be some carrots the nearer we get to a general election.

I almost don't bother checking these days, but prompted by this thread, I just did...

A £50 win - yay!

It"s strange the constant erosion of any relief on share dividend - potentially reduced investment levels are hardly conducive to improving the country's GDP.

So, July's results are in,

£200 for me
£225 for Mrs. C.

That'll do nicely Ernie.

 

[RoubaixCube]

Have £650 in and another £400 in holding.

Not had nowt. Maybe i'll have better luck next month.
