I see a pattern emerging !

Month - Hold - Win - 3%
August - 2000 - 0 - 5
Septem - 2000 - 0 - 10
Octobe - 2000 - 50 - 15
Novemb - 2000 - 0 - 20
Decemb - 2000 - 0 - 25
January - 5000 - 0 - 37.5
Februar - 5000 - 0 - 50
March - 12000 - 0 - 80
April - 12000 - 0 - 110
May - 22000 - ? - 165

Edit, added a 3% running total column to show where I should be for an average return for the amount held. Basically you should win 0.25% of your holding each month to keep up. So, since I started I've had a return of 1.36% (50/110 * 3) - ouch, and need to win 115 next month to catch up.

then in increments of £10 if you wished

I got a leaflet from the post office .
No 21 regular purchase scheme.
If you already hols a bond you may, subject to the maximum holding limit buy further bonds through the premium Bonds regular purchase scheme. under the scheme you can buy Bonds on a monthly basis but the minimum for each purchase will be £50 instead of normal minimum of £100. Sums above £50 must be a multiple of £10. Payment for bonds must be by a standing order from a bank or building society account in your name. WE will send you a standing order mandate for you to send directly from your bank/ building society ordering them to make the payments. Assuming a payment for at least £50 and a multiple opf £10, we will automatically send the new bonds purchased with that payment t your last address recorded at NS&I. If any payment is less than £50 or not a multiple of £10 it will be returned to your bank in full. You may cancel your standing order without notifying NS&I. The regular purchase scheme is not available for purchases on behalf of children under 16 years old.
Hope that helps!!
