Again? You're very lucky with those premium bonds. Me, on the other hand, has won £10 in the three years I have held them.

The more you have,the more chances you get. I "won" about the same so I upped my purchasing amounts.

Again, this suited me, YMMV
Two is one and one is none, but three is even better.

Thanks. 32 x 1/10th Oz works out to £6.11 each. Nice to have options.

My last order of these fractional coins in May 24 worked out to £4.70 each. Make of that what you will :tinfoil

Had my annual NHS MOT, bloods drawn and sent off.

Future appointments cancelled as not required, got it all done in one. Diabetes checks and heart problems sorted in an hour.

2.5 stone lost since last check up.... not a congrats or owt... just " Your still obese and could lose some more" and that coming from Jabba the Hut of the nursing community :roll:

I'm the correct weight for my height




I should be 7 foot 4 though :mrgreen:

Just out of interest, why did you choose fractional silver?

Had my old fart's MOT recently too. Bloods are fine, BP the same as it was ten years ago....... Had a laugh with the nurse about how stupid BMI is (I should be 12 stone 10..... The last time I was that I was 13 and five inches shorter)

I have enough 1 Oz silver coins, and splitting "£35" is made easier by the fractionals.

I'm happy to eat the premiums at this date to have the flexibility.

Ah, I'm still working up to my first 50ozt ATM..... Gold is currently far out of my reach.
