Nothing for me today.

After the first three Premium Bond draws of 2026 I've won £650 (€740). That's a return of 1.3% so far, or 5.2% over 12 months on 50,000 £1 bonds. A nice start, but it will probably come closer to the average as the year progresses.
I see the interest rate is coming down in April from 3.6% to 3.3%. That was announced before the war started, so it might be short lived.

I got the message above at 10:53, preceded by a minute or so of a spinner.
Still out at 13:46, and with this additional message:

17:45 and still down.
Of all the days for them to be down why today? The day I had decided to stick some more money into Prize Bonds.
Perhaps its an omen that if I do they won't win anything anyway?
