The Premium Bond begging post!

It pays to be honest so this blog post is all about one thing.  My desire to own £40,000 (the maximum amount allowed) of premium bonds.  Unfortunately my financial circumstances don’t allow me to make such an investment (or is it a gamble?), so I thought I would devote one blog post to begging for reader donations to help me achieve my ambition!

In my previous post I talked about how I had discovered the ability to enable readers to contribute variable amounts of their choosing by using the Paypal Buy Now option.  Well I have attached the option for readers of this post to contribute to my premium bond fund, to enable me to achieve my aspiration.  In the interest of transparency (always the best policy), you will not benefit in any form from the contribution you make.  I will endeavour to publish details of any winnings I receive from the bonds.

I do actually have a £100 of premium bonds already (so that’s a good start), which I have had for about thirty years.  These were usually donated as birthday or Christmas gifts, and, I can honestly say that I have never won a single penny.  It would be interesting to see if an investment of £40,000 will provide a greater return.  Obviously this will depend to a large amount on luck.  If I am not lucky as it appears then it sounds like it could be a bad deal, but it will be interesting to see in real life.

So just to recap, yes this is a direct begging post!  I have put in a bit of effort creating a new graphic for the contributions.  This has used the National Savings and Investments front page from their booklet.  They must be optimistic as it includes two glasses of fizz, as if to indicate that you cannot lose!

Time will tell.
