Premium Bond win

[ronk]

Way back in 1969/70 - a group of eight of us in the Eng Drawing Office had a syndicate who paid 2/6d (12.5p ) per week to buy a £1 premium bond for a member each week. I accrued £40 over the years.

September 2020 I’ve had my first win - a life changing £25

That should get you another 100-odd miles of fuel in your Z.

That demonstrates how things have changed - £25 was a weeks wage when we bought the Bonds. Now it’s loose change!

Congrats! Treat yourself to a replacement bumper bracket or 2 x single use “hexagon bolt with flange”.

Yep, NS&I are slashing their rates. I don't know what to do with the money I have now. Maybe, pay off the mortgage.
