You've just got to get through the 10 year induction period first, then the 25s will roll.

It's your money they are winning
I keep throwing it on the bed and making love on it.
Sometimes I use the smaller denominations to light things,

It's the best odds I've seen for a chance of winning a biggy.

We use it as the slush fund savings account to park money in, on it's way to paying off big chunks of one of the mortgages. The on-average return is as rubbish as the prevailing interest rate but there's always a chance of decent wonga.

Nowt again this month. Cashing most of them in as an private opportunity for 6% PA return has come along so I'll be doing that instead.

I was looking at the list of bigger prize winners yesterday (NS&I publish a list of prizes down to £5k with a location and a holding amount).
Scanning it for South Yorkshire to see if we were on there. One lucky person in SY won £10k with only a £1k holding!

The wife was telling me last night that they expect 9% by the end of the year and she's very happy she fixed the mortgage back in October!

Joking apart, it was of course nothing
