I’d have thought “I don’t believe it” would have been your response @meldrew66

Go on my son! Really hoping to win a year's financial advice with @golfaddick if I win!

The average return on PSB's was increased to 1.4% this week. 

Not surprised after that good Glastonbury performance.

He might need it from you, given his performances in this comp🤣

only joking, Golfie, of course. His fund selections are excellent. I am currently tracking some…

110 point fall in the Ftse this morning.

It's a fiddle, orchestrated by our resident experts just to stop a mug punter like me winning!

End of the quarter/ half year. Market markets just squaring their books like car dealers do.

So your trying to tell me there’s no chance of a 700 point upward bounce today, so I get somewhere near 😀😀😀😀😀

Mid table mediocrity becoming familiar.  

Hoof_it_up_to_benty looks to be coming up the rail.

Bottom feeding was definitely the right strategy this half!

I think I'm just going to be eased out but should I win I want you to know I haven't resorted to anything strange like bottom feeding!

Boy that jumped around a bit in the end;

Congrats to @hoof_it_up_to_benty who was within 70 points, shout out to @Fortune 82nd Minute who for a while looked like he had it!

Top 7 were within 5%.

@Er_Be_Ab_Pl_Wo_Wo_Ch takes the wooden spoon, but I bet we all wish we had his optimism!

Until next time...... (Premium Bonds in two days.....)

£50 (2 x £25) for me.  

As for the Postcode Lottery, I’ve had two £10 wins each year since I joined in 2017. Nothing though since last December.  Still better than Valley Gold!!!! 😏

LargeAddick

Nought for me, £25 for the wife, £75 for my Mum.

Bangkokaddick

I think it's three months of zilch after 4 £25 wins in April.

Amazed anyone holds premium bonds with rates about 800bps below inflation. But each to their own
