We’ll be moving cash about at the beginning of the tax year and these are firmly in our sights - even with falling savings interest rates and knowing we’d pay tax on that interest, we could do better.Fashion on the Ration

It's now working for me this morning. £75 on £22k holding.
That takes my stats to 49 prizes in 26 draws, out of the 35 I've been in. My rolling year return has now dropped to 4.659%. My lowest ever was last month after a £50 win, a bit below this months number. I had been bobbling about at a better rate for the previous 18 months - even topped 7% a couple of times.
I had intended to buy some more, but when factoring in the blank waiting month, decided I'd rather put it elsewhere - I'm not quite as close to paying tax on interest as I initially projected, now interest rates are falling.
