Very poor on FH! A miserable £25

£100 on a full holding, and £50 on £20.4k. Rolling annual return up again slightly at 2.45% and 3.35%.
We have used all our savings allowances so would be taxed if this was interest, so these equate to returns of 3.1% and 4.2%. Which we could beat….

I didn't win anything, although tbh, I've only got a handful left. At one pint I held 10k worth of PB and never won a bean for 3 years!

Whilst some said, well you should have won something by now, apparently, it's not that unusal:Needless to say, I withdrew my 10k and put into a child's ISA where it has been gaining 5% a year since! That's good enough for me & I'm winning every month with interest - Enough said!~ NSD 2026 - NSD January 0/20 (1)# Spectos/Royal Mail Monitoring and PP 2026 - Rest# No.36 Make £2026 in 2026 £0 / £2026 (1)# No.12 Save £2 a Day 2026 £0 / £730 (1)# No.2 Save 1p A Day 2026 £0 / £667.95 (1)# No.19 52 Week Env Challenge 2026 £0 / £1378 (1)# No.4 Save £12k in 2026 £0 / £12,000 (1)# No.4 £2 Savers Club 2026 - 25/12 - 24/10 £0 / £200 (1)# No.8 Sealed Pot Challenge 19 - 2026 - 24/12 - 24/10 £50+ / £400 (1)# No.5 Fiver Friday Challenge for 2026 £0/£230 (1)1 -
2 x £50 on FH1

I've had £10,000 in Premium Bonds for the last 5 draws. In that time I've won £100. A 2.4% annualised return isn't terrible but here's hoping that my luck improves in the next few draws.1

I think I must have above average luck. I have about £15kI worked out an ISA would have give me ~ £185 over the same period1 -
For a bit of fun, if you won £1 million what would you do with it.
I’d buy a bungalow in Devon with a big flat lawn to play croquet. I’d like 2 Maine Coons. For non cat people they are the biggest and hairiest domestic cat. 😺 I’d top up my PBs to the maximum and put some aside so future operations can be done privately. Replace my Toyota Yaris but don’t know yet what I’d buy.4
