Premium Bonds for August

Ah, I see, thanks. I thought you were talking about Premium Bonds - too early on a Sunday morning for me .

What are one year bonds, please?

They have a new one year bond, offering 6.2% interest.

I moved a chunk of mine to an ISA giving something like 4.5% just before the prize levels on bonds increased, but I have still won £125 in the last couple of months. I can’t remember how much the ISA will pay over the year or two the money is locked away, but it still feels like a better deal. I might increase my monthly spend on new bonds though. I’ve had a DD going for years now at £50 a month, but I think I’ll increase it a bit.

I won nothing this month but hubby won £325. He has the max amount, £50,000. He just looked up how much interest his bank would have given on £50k in a year and it was £93. He has won several thousands in P Bond wins this year.
I am going to transfer more savings into P Bonds this afternoon. 😉

He would get over £300 now with the new one year NS & I bonds.

£150 each for both DH and I. Happy enough with that.

Nothing this month. : (

£100 for me today nothing for DH who is looking a bit peeved as he has won something every month for the last 6 months

Only £100 between us this time. But I have bought a lottery ticket!!

£200 on mine today. Nothing on DH's.

Congratulations to all winners!

I got £100, which is good as I sold a lot of mine a while ago, and didn't win much when I had them.

£175 for me this month. Most I’ve ever won in one draw! Nothing for DH.

£50 for me this month ....... better than nothing!

Oooops, Ive started a September thread!

I too love the little excitement of checking each month.
I am too old to worry about interest rates and waiting a year for a few pounds.
I spend any winnings on a nice meal or similar.
£125 for me today.

£100 win this month . Then tried to close bathroom window and hinge broke £80 to repair ar well that’s life

£100 for me. I was expecting zilch because I have won something if only £25 each month this year. I and a friend also enjoy the frisson of excitement each month. At least the winnings are tax-free.

Nothing for me here in my nest since last January. It's clucking rotten!

£250 for me & £200 for my OH checked the results at 1am this morning.

Just £25 this month, better than nothing.

I have had PB since the 60's tbh I have forgotten about them. Never won a penny.

How lovely to win £10,000 from a £25 holding you bought in 1971. I hope the winner’s still around to receive it!

There seem to be more people than usual winning big with just a few bonds this month (you can order the table by “holding”, low to high). I think they’ve shaken them up a bit.

We both had a win, DH a bit more than me.

Only £100 this month. Don't they know we have a whole new kitchen to pay for.
