    I had £100 (2 x £50) on full holdings, since the rates went up last my winnings have dropped

    After nothing in December on a full £50K holding, and a 2.80% return for 2023, I have started the new year with a £700 win (1 x £500; 2 x £100).

    My biggest win to date and a great start to the new year, the only thing is I am not sure if I should tell the wife or not.

    Can't understand why anybody would publish a win, particularly one of that  size, on social media.  It's asking for potential trouble.  Just illustrates that social media has become such a way of life for many people that nobody recognises the dangers any more.
    They said they'd posted under a pseudonym, I'm happy to post my holdings and winnings anonymously on here, but would never advertise publicly the range if savings we have.

    Decent start for 2024 for me for my bonds, £200 (2x £100) on just over £42K holding, wish the same could of been said about my shares....
    Save £12,000 in 2024: £17,500 out of £12,000.
    Save £12,000 in 2025: £0 out of £12,000.

    Zero for me, I was never lucky so I withdrew my max holding 

    Now I'm being paid £312 a month in interest 

    Every month

    £300 for the family on 3 full holdings, so the regular monthly disappointment!
