After years owning premium bonds and not winning a sausage, the postman today delivered me a cheque for £25 . . . . .
So chuffed especially as last month my OH won £50. Hope this might be a sign of our luck has changed and there might be more to come or is that just being greedy?

Thanks Sally and Muffy.
Sure to enjoy it. Taking eldest daughter ou to lunch tomorrow so it will pay for that. Then might have to take youngest daughter another day and that means I 'll be in the red . . .!!!
Never mind, after owning premium bonds for over 30 years it's great to have won something at long last.

Well done to you Mair. We can't get further than a tenner on the Lottery, but it still doesn't stop us from watching Escape to the Country, and living in hope
Well done

WELL DONE TO YOU & OH. I USED TO HAVE MY CERTIFICATE WITH THE NUMBER ON IT FOR THE PREMIUM BOND MY PARENTS BOUGHT WHEN I WAS SMALL.

I NO LONGER HAVE IT, BUT IT THERE ANY WAY I CAN FIND OUT IF THERE IS AN UNCLAIMED PRIZE??

NEVER KNOW, I MAY HAVE A CHEQUE FOR A SMALL FORTUNE LYING WAITING FOR ME TO CLAIM LOL
KNOWING MY LUCK IT WOULD BE VERY VERY VERY SMALL!!

Well done to you Mair you have renewed my faith in Premium Bonds. I had some for a wedding gift and so far not a penny have we won. We celebrate 40 years of marriage this year so here`s hoping. LOL


Love and Peace
