    £400 in total on FH, so happy with that, currently at 4.6% for calendar year.

    One of my biggest ever wins this month: 2 prizes of £100 each. My holding has been about £28k this year (varies by month). 

    Even with this big win my average for the calendar year so far has been just over 3% return. Not great, but still better than overpaying my mortgage.

    Thanks tr7phil, that was very helpful. I record my PB winnings against the current tax year.

    Using your calculations, I am pleased to find that I am at 5.7% against a full holding over the last 6 months. Happy days.  :) Thanks again.

    The £1 holder that won £25k mentioned above was from 1960. Plus another won £5k with a £4 holding from 1978.  I hope these long term holders get their money and have kept up to date with their NS&I accounts and contact details.  
    Can I ask about this please? My husband has had a bond from birth and to our knowledge has never won anything. We can’t find the paperwork to check the numbers online, but the contact address is still valid, as it his parents home.  The paperwork is around in the house somewhere, I just can’t remember where I’ve stashed it. 

    Would NS&I automatically contact him should he win?
    I have some childhood bonds, one of them was a winner earlier this year and first I knew was when the cheque arrived in the post at my parents address, thankfully they haven’t moved in all those years so contact address was still good. Reminds me I need to get them added to my account properly now!
