I would buy a nice classic car or a property but being overseas that won't work, I just want somewhere for my money to work which it isn't in the bank at the moment. Being no longer UK resident I can't top up my ISAs. Any other options? I've been thinking the same thing. Maybe a Caterham for 12 months.

Instant access. 2. Somewhere to put my money for less than 6 months. 3. Somewhere other than ISAs. 4. To pay as little tax as possible. I figured that my inflationary losses over 6 months will be neglible, plus I may get lucky and win something significant. Not sure how this is "bonkers", what are the options?

Halifax are doing there only little prize draws at the moment with £5000 to qualify. I see this as the same as Premium Bonds.

That was lucky. Wowsers. Did we ever determine that any of us had actually met someone that had more than a 10K prize though? After a couple of months without anything we managed to bag a couple of £25's this month

In the last twelve months, I don't think my £5k has won anything. I feel a bit silly.

Nothing now for 2 months which is a record. Usually win every month. May'be a big win due to compensate?

Isn't it amazing how in this thing with random prizes, some people get lucky while others get unlucky? Would never have expect it myself.

That was lucky. Just to clarify this ISNT my win, I dont live in Cumbria for a start and have never won over £100 as a single cheque. I copied it over to show there are some lucky buggers around

....I forgot that I changed my online detais a while ago. So I got an email urging me to check out the important message I'd been sent about my bonds, which was exciting.
Bugger. £25 for me this month.
