    Loving the home grown tomatoes treat- I did not know there was a late PB draw to do with surnames?
    I have just checked mine and nothing but maybe its not been drawn yet??
    DON'T BUY STUFF (from Frugalwoods)
    No seriously, just don’t buy things. 99% of our success with our savings rate is attributed to the fact that we don’t buy things... You can and should take advantage of discounts.... But at the end of the day, the only way to truly save money is to not buy stuff.    Money doesn’t walk out of your wallet on its own accord.

    You'll notice (if you track the PB winners thread, as i do - it reminds me to check! ;) ) that people start reporting in from the first of the month. But mine always out on the 2nd / 3rd of the month as my surname starts with a 'T'.

    I think all the draws happen at once, it's the reporting that is staggered.

    You can search your holder numbers on the 1st online - if you are a high value winner (£5k+)  it will tell you - otherwise the app at 00.01 on the 2nd . Never heard about an alphabetical release.

    I do get an email but although it is dated the 2nd it often takes 3 or 4 days to arrive in my inbox.  I still keep checking on the first hoping for a high value win.

    Mr KK has been a hero this evening and secured the power cable under the duel fuel bathroom radiator - c. 14 months after it was put in! 😉

    I have been noodling about on the boards here looking at vegetarian recipe ideas. Off the back of that I have bought yet more recipe books (only two! both second hand 😉) and this evening the GH one arrived. I have sat down and read through the whole thing and written up a list of recipes I want to try from it. 😊
