    We've had the full £50k invested for 4 years now, and have averaged 5% (£2500 p/a) over that time. This year after 6 months we're at £800, so maybe closer to 3%.

    As a higher rate taxpayer it's been significantly better than savings accounts while I move money into ISAs.

    £125 on full holding. Two winning bonds this month - 12 month average = 2.50 wins per month. Rolling 12 month total is £1900 (3.8%) which is better than the median , so can't complain.

    £175 on FH (£100 + £50 + £25). Better than last month's £125, but OH leaves me in the dust with a £500 win on a single bond out of his FH. £675 between us is our best haul in many a month.

    My rolling 12-month total now £1175 or 2.35% return.

    I think ERNIE has lost my PBs down the back of his sofa as I haven't had a win since April 2025. ☹️
