First two months... Zilch!

Same with me - 3rd month in and zilch yet again!

 

[cedge]

One account zilch, the other £275 for us this month.

 

[beyond the blue]

Only £250 for us this month, very poor considering our holding.

Done

£275 between us, but, ex miner so my pension fund is getting sizeable funds returned to it , decent second rise this year so happy this month regardless, of course taxman getting a decent share.

Tell you what, give me one more win, £1,000,000, or tell you what, £500,000 and I ask for no more, deal?

Premium Bonds have done ok for me and risk free
One 25 quid win is more than you would get in yearly interest from £15k in an isa

I think you may need a few more wins £15,000 @ say 4% would produce £600 in interest

Nice start to 2025, I had one prize-£500, herself had 6 but only reached £400, lunch out later and next weekends rugby trip to France covered.

 

[cambsno]

First 6 months, nothing - a big fat 0 again!

 

[beyond the blue]

£1,075 for us today. The first time over £1k for the last 5 years. Well pleased.

I know how you feel, although I've had mine for longer. A few £25 wins to start but nothing in the last 6 months.
Things can only get better as someone once sung..

In 2024 we had a return in the end of 8.36% - mostly down to a good month with a £1000 and £250 numbers coming up. 2025 has not started so well at 0%.

 

[KIPAX]

£100 + £50 for me which is a decent return as I havent as much in as I once had

Strange thing is.. I have less then half what i had pre Oct 2024 and running at about 7% ... before oct with a full house i was getting about 3% .. less is more it seems.... so far

 

[Cordy]

PBs January 2025
Me £225

Probably our best joint PB result ever !

 

[Terrywoodenpic]
