Premium bonds - weird coincidence

Nothing for the 7 month running
Might as well stick it under the mattress

£25 for me. I have auto reinvest switched on, I’ll switch over to paying into my bank once I get to £50k 😁

Or a shares ISA if happy with some risk...mine is running at around 13% over the last year or so (and that's low-medium risk)

£500 this month which I reinvested as I have a long way to go to meet the maximum.
It’ll pay for the decorating of the hall, stairs and landing.

Erm if it's reinvested how can it pay for something?

I’ll substitute the cash I was going to pay for the job.

Utter rubbish on the returns front ime. Very close to current a/c returns for me thus far, and they are dross.

Over the last few years I have averaged £600 per annum with £50,000 deposited so I reckon it is not too bad.
£50 this month but a rare blank last month with some bigger ones previously which keeps the average up.

Fancy doing some swapsies?

Just £25 this month. Does anybody else check out the main prize winner details? One of the £1,000,000 winners this month has a total holding of £1,001 which is one heck of a rate of return

The reduction in prize payouts has been noticable for the past couple of months. Just £25 in January.

I didn't know about a prize reduction until I read this and then googled. I thought our luck had changed as we've gone from winning every month to only 4 x £25 this year. The annual return is usually 1.5% but this is dropping.

Possibly time for a rethink on this one?

@PaulSB yes, divest your bonds, more chances for me. Ha ha

If you want to make more, you'll need to go more risky. No interest to speak of on anything that's 100% safe

You could chop the PBs in for another batch, although no guarantee they'll be any better of course

 

[Salty seadog]

£50 again this month. Its all a bit poor really.
