Premium Bonds

[Caran]

Yippee won £25 again. That's the third time this year.
Mine don't normally come until the 13/14 of the month. Thought it a bit strange it came a week early then I realised.
They have cut the number of prizes by a third so haven't got as many to get out, therefore job done quicker.

Hmmm....well I got nothing this month! Very unusual but I'm buying some more so I expect a big win soon......☺

All well with you, Caran.....how is Mr Caran?....x

[cupotee2]

Me too...always handy to have a little win. Just wish it was a bit bigger.

[Caran]

Not good gness. He has been diagnosed with lung cancer and emphysema. Had a biopsy yesterday and at least 6 scans. He has another one next week, a very invasive one at the cobalt centre. We have been amazed at the care and consideration he has had. The speediness of appointments is beyond belief. Everything is next day. He has had four different appointments so far and after getting home from each one we have a phone call to arrange another.
He's okay in himself, no bad symptoms. So fingers crossed.

I'm sorry to hear that, Caran....but so glad he's having good and prompt care.

I'll keep fingers crossed too.....Love Gx

Thanks gness much appreciated.

Fingers crossed here to, Caran.

All these premium bond winners, maybe I ought to buy some.

My fingers also firmly crossed, Caran.
Re:OP Mr J2 got fed up no return on his savings (not all that huge) and has invested the lot in P Bonds. This is the first draw for him and he has won 2 x £25 !!! That's more than the interest for the year, so he's in profit!

As a bonus - today is also his birthday! He's like a dog with 2 tails!!!! :)

Looks like the odds on winning will be changing on the 1st of June.

[Caran]

Oh so I got it wrong, it hasn't come in yet. So. Why then a week earlier?

[Caran]
