    Nothing on FH 
    Thats 2 months in a row !!Disappointing indeed!,
    Here’s hoping for a savage win in October 
  • I’m happy today! £300 (2x 50, 2x 100), Holding £43K. Best win of the year and since June last year when I got the £500 prize.

    That takes me upto £1,150 for the year so far with 3 draws remaining, probably now at the lower end of average returns.
    Save £12,000 in 2024: £17,500 out of £12,000.
    Save £12,000 in 2025: £0 out of £12,000.

    £125 on max holding, the last 12 months puts me at 3.05% not bad but could have been better I guess. 

    On the plus side hubby and I get our final Help to save bonuses this month, next years holiday fund sorted.
    Help to save for someone with 50k premium bonds?

    One of us is getting the maths wrong (could well be me) - because I make your annualised yield to be more like 4.66%?  3.5% PA would give rise to an average monthly return of £145.83 (i.e. £1,750 for the full year) on full holding - and you're running at more than that - at £194.44 monthly average to date - for 9 months. 
  • £50 this month on full holding (2 x £25) :)
