Premium bond winnings.

Dylis

I won £5000 a few months ago! Huge excitement and now planning a special trip away.
I was given a bond on my 1st birthday over 65 years ago. Didn't win a penny for all those years. I decided to buy some last year with money left to me by my Mum and still can't believe I won!

That’s great. Lovely to have a holiday you didn’t expect, certainly a windfall, enjoy choosing.

My winnings, like others are used to buy more. I must be reaching the maximum one of these days. It would be good to spend the money eventually.

I won zilch this month, but I have won a small amount every month for months. There as to be a rest. I have never won a significant amount. £25 is better than nothing.

I always put any winnings towards something special. In the past I’ve paid for a picture to be framed, bought a beautiful plate and put it towards a new dress. My daughter always buys more Bonds.

That is lovely to hear J52. I would do something similar with a big win. Well a win between 500 and 1K

I don’t need to save at 89 so it just goes, it’s a good feel.

I usually just leave them in the bank account, mostly because I don’t have large wins.
The only time I did have a largish win ( under £1000) I had seen a painting that I liked, so I spent the money on it.

Both DH and my winnings go into the "bills" account. We regard it as joint money. This monry I had a better than average win. First time ever a 500.00. We normally get about 200.00 between us. The extra 300 I will give to DD2 as its their 1st anniversary next week so they can put it towards a night away when the weather is cooler.
Their wedding day last year was the hottest day of the year looks like the same this year.
DH and I treat the P bonds like a bank account with interest...but a bit more fun and look forward to the 2nd day of the month. Still waiting for a big win!! Which I will divide between 2 DDs and us.

I get that UTBB

DH has stopped buying a season ticket for the football so we are having work done on the roof and the outside decorated and possibly a weekend away. Flipping expensive season ticket.

I spend them, they just go

Oh it's probably just the thrill of winning that generates a 'feelgood' factor - and realising that your bonds exist and haven't vanished into some kind of Bermuda Triangle.

My Dad gifted me some bonds in 1965 - I've never won a sausage and I'm sure they must have disintegrated by now.

But congrats whatever you decide to 'splurge' your win upon.

Same as Tanith until I get to the limit of course

My bond winnings go straight to buying more bonds.
