I’ve Won the Premium Bonds . . . Twice !
I’ve Won the Premium Bonds - Not Once But Twice in the Same Month !
Woohoo ! I’m rich I tell ya 
They say the “Money Goes to Money” so it makes a nice change to see a bit going to the more needy in society - that namely being me
Came home this afternoon to find 2 envelopes on the Goldeneye ‘Sod Off’ Doormat - both contained cheques from the Premium Bonds - 2 wins in the same month !
One in the eye for my brother 
Finally, a Bit of Luck
Now I’m rich of course it begs the question as to . . . what next ?
I won’t let it change me of course but I really need to decide whether to bank it all for a rainy day or . . . spend, spend, spend !
If I decide to blow it all of course the obvious thing is on what ?
Fast cars and slow women come most immediately to mind but I’m open to suggestions . ..
Should I save it or blow it and if the latter - on what ?
I did have a quandary before writing this as I know it looks a bit showy and somewhat Nouveau Riche boasting of my new found wealth but I felt such is the magnanimity of the cultured readers who frequent this site there’d be no resentfulness aimed personally at me or my good fortune
Rest assured I’ll continue with the site, I’ll not be swapping Lincolnshire for Monte Carlo nor will you see me in the tabloids with a local soap opera babe on my arm - I’ll be the same old me just heavily in funds.
Now the only question is . . . what to spend it on ?
Yours, a man of means
R.D. Collins, Esq.

surely they should have been made out to HRH The King Of Wybers Wood!……..are you sure they are really yours?
Why not spend one and save the other? best of both worlds!
Congratulations
Mrs HH

Mrs HH,
I’m not officially recognised by the government as the King of Wybers Wood - yet anyway !
The almost serious historical point is that I believe I can declare myself King of a region and annexe it from Britain - it’s then up to the Queen to do something about it - used to happen all the time.
I think this time I may be reckless, my nature is to save it but I’ve decided to remove myself from a life of penury and for once . . . live a little
Regards
Rich Rod

Rod,
Might you lavishly splash out on something you declare normally beyond your means like cheese?

You may not be able to be King, but how about Lord Rodney Collins of Wybers Wood?

Not a word will pass my lips as I suspect it could be a sensitive issue - I suspect every member of our 4 member family has won on the PBs this month . . . well when I say every one I mean 3 out of the 4
Triumphantly yours,
Rod

Cid,
Pfffft to cheese !
Now I’m a man of means I’ve elevated my sights way above the peasant food I once yearned for.
Being in funds I think I may finally be in a position to attract a girlfriend

HH,
that’s a fine idea and you clearly know my mindset - the following is absolutely true.
For general amusement I was going to change my name by deed poll to . . .
Lord Collins of Great Coates
It’s really cheap and how funny would thta be, imagine having it on the driving licence and cheque book
The only thing that stopped this riot was some banking and business arrangements I have

Rod,
Your plans may have to be tweaked to suit their aim…. a woman is much more likely to stick around if she spots a fine looking truckle in the fridge. There’s a certain something about a man who knows his cheeses… and other things too of course, plus it might impress your long suffering family, so a winning solution all round

Cid,
I’ll be avoiding women who like cheese or indeed are minded to keep looking in the fridge
