I've been financial navel gazing of late and as part of that I realised/remembered I had premium bonds. Did the necessary to get access to "my account" on line. I have the grand sum of £5 in premium bonds and I have never so much as won a bean. Neither surprises me.
But what does surprise me is that premium bonds date back to five years before I was born. Two years before my parents were married and in the year they met!! How barmy is that? My dad has absolutely no idea how or why they would date back to before I was born.
Yep. They're in my maiden name and at the address where I was brought up.
Actually that's a point. We moved to that address when I was about 5 so its really out of whack! Unless my parents changed the address. Still odd though.
