Discussion
Article in the Telegraph about long-held accounts that haven’t won anything, also includes the odds of beating a 4.65% return https://www.telegraph.co.uk/money/investing/had-pr...
Slightly off topic but NS&I don't half take their time transferring money.
I have a Direct Saver with them and transferred some money from it to my current account first thing on Friday morning. It's still not gone through.
If that was Marcus it would've been available within 2 hours.

Bank holiday is your delay but they aren’t great.I have a Direct Saver with them and transferred some money from it to my current account first thing on Friday morning. It's still not gone through.

Try shifting money out of vanguard. I know it’s not quite the same as positions need to be settled but you will be looking at a working week at least.
The money went through today so no worries.
A slightly odd question now. My mother wants to cash in one her bonds which she says hardly ever wins. She went online and it says it will automatically withdraw the oldest bond/s first. The trouble is that's not the bond she wants to cash in.
She says when she used to correspond by mail you could pick and choose which bonds you cashed it.
Is there a way around it online?

Don't think it's possible online, but someone on here has mentioned there is a paper form you can complete to choose which bonds to cash in. A slightly odd question now.

Why I wonder do they send a message saying “ Congratulations You are a winner” and a separate message saying they have sent a message.
The latter refers to a secure message on your account which in my case tells me that the prize has been re-invested. Sometimes I get the this email before the congratulations one 
Anytime there is a new secure message it let's you know by email to prompt you to go in and read it.

Also, no winnings on the family 18K this month.
I am thinking of cashing them in now, I have had another phase with only a single pitiful £50 win in the last few months; on the full £50K!!!
So I might be cashing most in (probably keeping the £100 I have had in my name since the 70s), I would get a better return in a mid-rate savings account even after paying the tax!
