On £90k? Good lord, that's something NS&I should be ashamed of!
Time to take some out, I have decided my 2014 ISA money is coming from here and going into the Telegraph or Mail Dog shares portfolio. In this financial year my dogs made me 13% plus £600 dividends but obviously this has a risk element.

2 x £25 on 18K

I've been getting £25 about every other month for a while now.

Zero.

And to add further insult to injury, when I tried to login it kept telling me my password was wrong right up until it suspended it. Awesome!

£25!

The five figure sum I had in an instant access savings account was earning me £4/month so I'm quits now for the six months.

I have taken my "winnings" in more bonds; am I correct in thinking that they go straight into next month's draw?

Yeah, its an undetstandable move. Equities are pretty risky at the mo though IMO.


2 x £25 for me. Cack.

Nothing again.

I think my first draw was Dec on £20K

Not had a single win.

Got 30K in for next months. I'll let it run for another two or three but if I still don't get any wins i think i'll go elsewhere.

I've only got £10 but this was since my birth so that's now 39 years and I've not won a bean!

Does this sound right to the pros out there??

My running AER is just under 1% over about five years, so it's not special. But then there's just that chance, however small, that it might suddenly jump up, so they can stay for now.

I have about £25 worth since birth in 1973 and similarly - never won a thing. Too little to be worth cashing in though. If I get even a small prize it'll be a massive proportion of the value. Well, *if*...

First Month in the draw, 2 maximum accounts
£30k = 2 x £25
£30k = 2 x £25

Not a bad start
