Just a sec - she says he gave her these premium bonds but they remained in his name? Not only do I doubt that happened, it actually can't work like that: premium bonds are held in a name, and if you want to give the underlying value away, you have to cash them in, so why wouldn't this have been done at the time of the "so called" gift? If one or more of those bonds had hit the jackpot, she would have no claim at all to that prize. She really does think that people are mugs, doesn't she?
