    Never let the perfume of the premium overpower the odour of the risk

    I went away to calculate and I've won £2,225 this year, just around 4.67% return so a smudge over the current expected return (but it hasn't been that all year I know).

    Pretty happy with that actually.

    Sweet FA for me this month on just over £41K, That means a final total return of £1,375 for the year. Despite good wins in June & October it's a below average year for my bonds.

    I've had 6 months where I gotten just £25 (twice) and on 4 occasions nothing.
    Save £12,000 in 2024: £17,500 out of £12,000.
    Save £12,000 in 2025: £0 out of £12,000.

    Thanks, wasn't there an hour ago but is now.
  • Mine arrived today. Now added too and sent back to the NS&I Direct Saver using my debit card to get my £5 reward from the Halifax! It’s nice using winnings to earn more cash!
