    Don't get too carried away, wait until the bloody cheque clears, just in case it bounces.

    Twit.......I was all excited for you then Steve.....what you going to spend it on, eye make up would be my suggestion, that blue is a bit 70's Wigan Casino don't you think ?

    I banged the maximum into bonds a few years ago on the gamble I might get back more than the money going backwards and pathetic interest rates, so far I am well up on what it would have made in a savings account. I have had at least £25 every month and a few times quite bit more, the big win is being a bit more elusive though. Maybe next month.

    I held a five figure amount for a while and never even got a sniff! Don't have anywhere near that amount now and this is my first win, albeit a measly one!

    Someone told me when they stop winning, pull them and then reinvest to keep them fresh but so far cheques keep dropping on the mat, not sure how true that is but if yours aren't winning give it a go.

    Ken, what's your view mate, you have a few don't you ?

    Well done Mate, Gill has done really well with her numbers this past 12 months, same amount win as you each time just the £25, but she's had some double triple and even quadruple wins per month, working it out, the invested amount and the wins received pisses on any of the bank interest she would have got.
    As said, its time to refresh some numbers withdraw perhaps a quarter of the investment and then put it back in.
    Every month we await the Ernie has good news emails, sadly not a sniff this Novembers draw.
    Oh, and get a hold and register for the payments to go direct into the bank dude, saves the fuel and tyre wear ;)

    Yes mate, I'm completely with you on that. On your advice, we dropped a chunk of Jeanette's redundancy into them and since they activated we've had a win every month (I'll buy you that pint, don't worry). By the second month it had already made us back more than the interest it would have earned in a savings account for a whole year.

    Not long a ago they limited the wins, because so many people were taking this option rather than pissing away their money in the banks, to try and push people into funding more self serving feck ups by the financial industry, bastards, but the cheques still keep coming, every month. No big ones yet. You'll know when there is when you see the YouTube of me in an AC Cobra doing doughnuts in works car park while I'm handing in my notice in the medium of mime...

    Better £25 in your pocket. My kids and I have premium bonds and most months get £25. Last month was a. Good one and my eldest got £50

    Not wishing to be Punch but just got an email from them with three £25 wins on it.

    Sorry Steve
