Premium bonds winnings.

£0. Can’t win every month!
 
A dissapointing month for us, just circa £250; we were hoping for higher as had a big household bill to pay out for.
 
Poor month, me £0, the boss £125.
Although I’m more concerned about the trump effect on my investment/pension pot, £15k down in a month, sooner he’s gone the better for all.

My pensions have just settled and crept up a bit in the last day or 2. Still down about £5k from late last year

Not everyone's choice, but I'm glad I combined all my pension and took an annuity in January. After my lump sum I get around 8.5% .

Diddly Squat on the bonds again.
 
Saving up to go to Australia to see the wife's family in 2031 so we thought we'd buy PB's so we can't touch it. Purchase £2,500.00 in February, first draw this month.....Nothing:(

Get used to it. I’ve had two wins in the last 6 months, the rest of the time : zilch.

Premium Bonds are generally not a good investment vehicle. If you want a guaranteed return that you can’t touch you’d be much better off sticking the money in a long term savings bond. The only real benefits of PB’s are the winnings are tax free and there’s always the slight chance of a big win.

Yeah, 2031 so a 5 year fix will be much better than PBs, if you're not using your full allowance then ISA is tax free.
