    Well done, am still waiting for mine to come up. Well in actual fact I am up on mine. I only have £72 worth, my Dad's uncle used to buy them for me for birthdays etc (they were only £1 then) and we used to buy some in a syndicate when I was at work. I won £25 when I was little(with which Mum bought me some shoes or similar, I was too young to spend it myself) and I won £50 from the ones from work. Would be nice to win again though.:T

    Congratulations!!

    I had a spell of luck- on my last birthday and on this year's birthday (on the day itself!) I got £50. Hope I don't have to wait till next March for another £50.

    I'm thinking of taking mine out and spending the money on a better car.

    for got to mention we checked online and we have another £50 coming this month as well. We have not had a win in over a year and have £5000 invested in PB. I have a massage booked in for monday - typical money saver - at the beauty school for a tenner. Has anyone won really super big like 100,000 or a million? Apparently the smaller amounts like £50 come to you around the 15th of the month and the larger prizes at the begining of the month.

    Please check online around the 1st of the month but also more important I presume that you have moved house since you were 3 years old so they must be notified of change of address. There is a link whereby old bond numbers can be input and see if you have missed out on a win and you can claim it. There are millions that are never claimed apparently through loss of address.
