    My luck ran out this month with nowt on 26K.

    Whilst looking back on the last 6 months though, I noticed that I had won 2 prizes on the exact same bond number in the space of 3 months (£25 in November and £50 in February). Now, if that was my only bond holding I would have had a very good percentage return for the last 6 months! :rotfl:

    While out cycling with a friend of mine , who said he had never had a win on £30k holding. I said to him that this month of March he would have a win as i felt it was going to happen to him.
    In the meantime i checked both my wifes holding 50k she had 3wins 1x£100 & 2x£25 =£150.
    I then checked my own bonds & i also had 3x £25 wins = £75.

    So we had 6 wins between us , not a great amount of win money, but never the less a nice surprise.

    Going back to the prediction that my friend was going to be lucky this month and break his duck !! , well i have not bumped in to him yet to see how much he has won , i had the feeling there was going to be a win, what i didnt realise it was going to be Our holding.:)

    April winners now available. After a couple of lean months I won a £50 prize. First time I've had anything above £25.

    2 x £50 for March 2017, on £50k.

    First year result is in.

    £50k from 29 March 2016 yielded £1,175 total.

    Mainly thanks to the £500 prize in December 2016.

    In fact, 1.25% on £50k is £625, plus £500 makes £1,125, so it is on track for 1.25%, if you see the £500 prize as an anomaly.

    Just hope the anomaly for 2017/18 is the £1million prize.
    I promise to stop penny watching, and spend it to help the economy.
    After all, inheritance tax is 40%.
