    Re PB's........

    My comment is more based on what people have been posting these last few days, as well as last month. The returns are falling and it's ok talking about what you've averaged over the year, but that is past history. Look at now, what you've just received & multiply that by 12. 

    Rates are only going to get worse as interest rates on the whole come down. 
    This is what I posted a month ago.

    £75 each for wife and myself on max.
    YTD makes 4.1% so just above average with a month to go.

    Golfaddick for clarification I'm not saying that Premium bonds are the best way to invest your money. 
    I'm simply posting what I have won.
    On a holding of 22ki have won the following. 
    In 2023 I won £1150
    In 2024 I won 425
    In 2025 I have  won £1425 with one month to go.

    So that's twice in the last 3 years I've probably earned more than a cash ISA would have paid me.
    I have also got an ISA by the way.

    So I'm not disputing your view of premium bonds as you are far more qualified than me on these matters. 
    I'm simply posting each month what I've won.

    £200 this month on a £40k holding. Helps to make up for the £25 last month.

    Edit: works out at about 3.9% return for the year gone and 6% for the coming year as per Golfie’s suggestion above re current month prize x 12.

    NSI have asked if my contact details are correct,  so by implication I might have won a million this month?

    Sorry you haven't won a million as a lady from NSI comes to your house on the last day of the preceding month to break the news to you!

    But hopefully they are checking your details for a reason. Good luck!

    I've cancelled the Ferrari.
