    You're the only person I "know" to win on PB, my boys have had some for years (a small investment of a legacy) and nada! Well done! :T
    Mr GG has has a few wins as well :j.

    P*ddling it down here and I'm off adventuring this afternoon :(

    Well done on the PB wins.

    I've never won anything on the PB's.

    But I only have £1. But I've had it since 1967!

  • My mother in law does pretty well on the premium bonds, she was most disgruntled last month because it was the first time in over a year she hadn't had a cheque! She does have the maximum amount in though.

    Well done on the PB win:T

    I've bought £250 worth just before I bought my house as figured might not have the cash again. That was 4 years ago and I've won two lots of £25 since - I OP'd them each time rather than reinvest in PB's. I know it's probably not the smartest place to have the money but figured have to be in it to win it though ;)

    I love swanning in occasionally to see what's going on and decided to add some comments on other threads.

    Hbb/ Goldie - PBs: would they know how to contact you if you'd won? One of the reasons so much goes unclaimed

    The "virtual house" is superb. Decorators were out in 2010!!! Now for the chimney - hurry up GG :beer:

    Ooooooorrrrr...... leave them blank and provide square stickers in the pack - much like the sticker mosaic books that were around when I was little? Lol

    ohh I loved those mosaic books, wonder if you can still get them!

    erm I'm sure my friends children would love them:whistle:

    I was also wondering if you could still get them. Though I suspe t my ability to get the shapes in the spaces would be just as bad as it was when I was little :p

    the long word H are very good machines GG you could have a good EBay opportunity there - unless the creative sewing juices are flowing. I hadn't thought of PBs as a good place for the tax money............off to investigate.

    I think it would probably be blood that was flowing if I tried to use it :rotfl:
