    ..yep, check ours every month and for the last 4 months they have gone down / stayed roughly the same, as per above just the way it is calculated....still intend keeping them and renewing as and when.

    How can the price of these go down?  Not that i ever bother looking at mine.
    If the price of a loaf of bread was £1 when you made the investment and it is now £1.20, your projection is that when the bond matures it will be giving you 20% profit. However next month the bread might be £1.19, so you are on course for the bond to mature with only 19% profit instead.  There is no other way to show that than 'the price going down', but of course £1.19 for bread might still be more than the £1.10 for bread last year or the £1.00 for bread at the time you last renewed the bond.

    Just shows its pointless looking at it per month then.
