Yea,   Always win something every month, normally £25.  This month I have won £225.   I still won't spend it, I hate spending money  :closedeyes:  Mrs Bouquet

Enjoy something you fancy, even if it's just turning the heating up a bit when it's chilly.
Enjoy it while you can, that's what I believe... family get what's left when I'm gone, but it's mine while I'm still here  ::)

You can't take it with you Mrs B. Isn't there something completely frivolous you've been avoiding buying?

You obviously got mine this month Mrs B, lucky you. I agree buy yourself something nice or as Mum says turn the heating up!

My boy already knows he's getting nothing from us when we go. He's got to be his own man and not waiting on a windfall. (though there is a little something for him of course ;)  )
Congratulations Mrs B

Well done, Mrs B!

I got the text yesterday, and then the website crashed, so I guess everyone was getting in on the act!

Luckily, it was a £50.00 win, but nowhere near yours!

I wonder how soon it would be for them to tell me I'd won the big one? The Daily Express seems to find out pretty soon after the doors open on the 1st of the month, but nobody rang me this time!

We've had nothing for a few months now, but we did win a few £25 ones prior to that.  Do have a little treat, Mrs B,  I know all of us of a certain age like to know that we have enough behind us for emergencies, but we do deserve a little something nice now and again.  Even something like a little flowering plant for the house cheers me up no end, especially at this time of the year.

They have just increase the rates to 3.15% of the price fund, it's a little bit of safe excitement on a monthly basis.

I still rate Premium Bonds a better bet than the measly interest from the banks, and it's also a treat to look forward to every month!

Exactly. Why be the richest person in the graveyard!
I work very hard so don't expect me to think as well.

Actually, I have a supermarket shop to do.  The idea of an indoor pot plant appeals.  Thanks

I won absolutely nothing in 2 years so cashed them out. I was looking at the 1 year fixed term bond though, 3.9% paid monthly isn't to be sniffed at.

I was born in 1971, and a family friend gave me £10 worth of premium bonds as a birth present, when £10 was worth something....in 51 years I have never won a single thing, checked up when i found the bond a few years ago, to keep it going i needed to increase it a bit so i added another £25, still not won anything. Well done to those of you who have won.
Cheers. Aled
