I’ve just worked out that I have averaged £86 per month winnings over the last 15 months since I invested the maximum. Not a particularly good return
My mum and dad always had a pretty good return so I feel I should leave them in ‘just in case’!

Would people recommend Premium bonds as a good, safe way to save/invest?

As long as you are prepared to be patient and not looking for an instant return yes. Obviously the larger the pot you can have buys you more bonds. You may win big, you may not. You might get something each month you may not. Bit like a lottery but you can never lose your money.
