I’m fortunate enough to have some savings. I put them in a yearly fixed rate bond. I WAS getting 4% now the best is below 2%! Any ideas?

This is a gambling app. It is nothing to do with savings.

kitty you had me snorting into my coffee yet again.
“DH has always followed the stick market ...... My one suggestion for shares was Northern Rock”.
Would that be a stick of rock then kitty ?

I won £25 this month- not a lot but better than nothing.

It's my phone's fault Doodle. It has a mind of it's own and I don't always check before posting - or had you guessed that. grin I think I should stick to my laptop.

£100 for me on my premium bonds this month. Although I'm showing off about my winnings, DH didn't win at all last month or this month. I expect he will win £1,000,000 next month.grin

Between us my husband and I have won £200 on PBS this month. We think it is a good investment.

If he does kitty I would like to say I have always liked you best ?

Everybody appears to win more than me!

That's the thing, Charleygirl, it's not an investment, it's gambling with your interest. Because Fernbergien above has had a reasonable win, others will get nothing, as she's had their share of the interest. That's how it works, it's not meant to be fair.

I'm not against PBs, I have some myself, but I don't look on them as a dependable source of income or interest.
