    I have £4k in

    I treat it as invest and forget

    Think I have had £50 this year so far so I need a bit more to balance the return up

    2 x £50 for June

    Holding £30k

    Seem to win consistently £50 to £100 most months. But have never won a prize greater than £50 in value :-(

    Fella's 30k holding won nothing this month but my 30k will be valid too next month so can't wait for that draw. We probably won't win though, I think we've had all our luck.

    I have got £1000 worth and my OH has £1500 and we have just got our kids £1000 each ( two of them ). Their bonds will be included in this months draw so I hope they win. I won £50 in the 3 months of holding mine and I ave had them about 20 or so month and I have not won anything since. My OH won £50 last month, which was her first win in about 2 years of having them.

    Wow. £50 win again! Thats 3 x £50 since January 2006. Not bad on a £1800 holding. And the sun's shining.
    Taking control, slowly.:rotfl: :rotfl:

    I've held a £1 bond since 1957 and a £10 bond since 1968. Never won a thing, although I live in hope!

    Sometimes I wonder if I should cash them in but quickly realise that £11 doesn't go that far and I do have that very, very small chance of winning something.........:cool:

    Good luck ceegee, like you say £11 won't go very far and hopefully you will win something, you've had them this long you might as well keep them!
