Premium bonds for me have been useless so far...
£1,000 invested back in sept 2005. Winnings £0
disappointing i know BUT i am only expected to win once every 2 years with that amount of money in. Could of made more than £50 interest in a savings account by now as well but never mind, thats the price you pay to put money in premium bonds.Had £80,000 in Savings - All GONE!!!
