    Max holding. 2 x£25 last month average £25 most months (now the £50 are gone) Picked up a £1000 in one go last year plus a few £100s'
    Last time I worked it out my return is around 2.3% ( averaged over three years) not a lot but tax free and still have a dream of the "big one"

    I've given up on them, max holding and entered for fun rather than anything else, but now rates are increasing, my money is better in a decent rate savings account and can just pretend I've won each month :D

    have recently started doing the £50 monthly standing order. rather than doing the lottery I think I would rather do PBs and like many of you wise peeps have mentioned I can always cash them if the baliffs are banging at my door. however I do spend the odd moment thinking about how I would spend the money if I were to get the knock at the door so like the lottery you have got to be in it to win it!

    i have around 10,000 in premium bonds but i have diverted my monthly savings to sharedealing as the % return is usually better for me

    last year i won around 400 quid but this year only 75
    Target Savings by end 2009: 20,000
    current savings: 20,500 (target hit yippee!)
    Debts: 8000 (student loan so doesnt count)

    new target savings by Feb 2010: 30,000

    I have £4 invested since 1st November 1956, never won a darn thing. Can anyone beat that?

    Also my dad is convinced that there are more in my name but we can't find a record of it how would I go about checking this out?

    Buy your bananas in bunches of 5 on Sunday. Then arrange them in order of ripeness and write a day of the week on each banana in felt pen, Monday on the ripest, Friday on the greenest to save time making those decisions on a hectic weekday morning

    That's just stupid.
    You can't compare 12 months of win's to 7 months.
