    Only £25 on FH. That makes a total of £5,000 for tax year 2024-2025. Happy with 5% return.
    That's 10% not 5%.  I'd be very happy with that
    Ops Sorry - it was only a total of £2,500, so 5% was correct. Wishful thinking.  :D

    £150 for me in February.

    £1,950 in winnings since my first month with £50k holding in July 2024, at an average of a tad under £244 per month.

     


    FIRE !!!

    £100 x 2 and a Cheeky little £25 for me on £49.5k holding.  

    That's £500 for me so far this year.

    Can I just ask - have we all got spreadsheets?  :D

    Someone has won £10000 on a £4 bond bought in July 1961, with a total holding of £19. I love to see wins like that. I just hope they're still around to enjoy it.  :)

    And there's another with a £5000 win on a £25 bond bought in June 1958.
    Not really, these people are likely not longer around - more or less they were 30 years old in 1960, so probably would be around 90 now - and these bonds have high chances of being abandoned/forgotten. 
    So sadly they just take prizes away from us 😅
    They are very likely to be around! Often grandparents would buy a premium bond for their new grandchild, which would make these winners in their 60s.
