I had to google that one LongDriver…That describes perfectly the members of the present incumbents…Shrewd and unprincipled…

I would have been very happy with £275 when all I’ve been winning is £25 for months.
This month was a welcome change, with 6 prizes, totalling £475 - perhaps your usual Good Luck is being spread around this month, to those of us who have been patiently waiting for their Luck to turn!

I think you may have inadvertently received my share this month boot…

I do seem to have received somebody else’s share, Foxy - it is most puzzling - in addition to the £475 I had already won in Dec draw, I received an unexpected letter today about the September draw.
I wonder if anyone else on here has received a letter like this?
When I first read it, I thought they were telling me that I had only won £25 but I had been given £50, so they were going to take £25 back - but when I read the rest of the letter, it seems they were going to pay me an extra £25 because some other “winner” wasn’t eligible to receive it - I’m not clear as to why the original winner wasn’t eligible for it or why they decided to give their prize to me - but I have checked my bank account and they credited me with £25 in September for the Bond Number quoted in the letter and then credited me with another £25 for that Bond a few days ago - in addition to the £475 I won on other Bond numbers this month - so December has been a Bumper £500 winner for me! 
My grandchildren have already been given £400 of my December winnings and £50 of it was shared between buying a bit of Christmas stuff for the local food bank and a donation to a local community centre for the elderly, who offer a free homemade hot soup lunch and a warm place for folk to congregate and socialise during the day, they do jigsaws, play games, do arty crafty stuff etc - so the share of my December winnings was £25 for myself and it has just doubled to £50 - Yea ! …
I may just spend this unexpected windfall on a Christmas present for myself …

That’s great news Boot, I hope you have gone onto the NS&I site to make sure it’s legit…I’m sure you have…
Food banks and local community are very deserving causes and ones I would probably donate to, however…
I won a measly £25 
in Decembers draw, but I always reinvest into more bonds.
Only joking about the frowning face, I’m grateful for any win and these days we need all the help we can get. I always said if I won a decent amount it would go to my daughter, the last time I came into some money I bought her a new car, I know how hard it is for young people (she’s 51) to run a motor and she used to drive my two grand daughters around in an old banger. They’ve both passed their driving test now and are more independent…

£25 is the amount I usually win in most months, Foxy - this month’s bumper win seems like a “fairy godmother” Christmas present!
