Second blank month on 50k

Bit disheartening to be honest, although you should really treat it as a bit of fun
Considering moving the lot to a fixed rate account paying 2.1%
Sure your moneys tied for a year but at least you are guaranteed something every month
Less a small amount of tax for £50k @ 2.1%?0 -
Got my 2x£25 prizes on £49.9kSecond blank month on 50k
Bit disheartening to be honest, although you should really treat it as a bit of fun
Basically on over £49k you should *expect* two prizes a month (1 in every 24500 of your bonds should win) , and you should *expect* that each one of those prizes will be only £25 (over 98% chance of any given prize being that amount). So my prizes were bang on expectation and if you and Tabatha are losing, means someone else must be winning
