    Nothing on a full holding, £50 on £20k (holding reduced).

    Rolling annual return 1.9% and 2.18% :(
    £50 each. Rolling return now down to 1.45% and 2.38%.
    £150 on the full holding, nothing on £20k. Rolling annual return down again to 1.3% and 1.68%.

    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.

    On a FH £225 this month.  A total of £1750 in the last 12 months, with an average of 2.58 prizes per month.

    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.

    £75 on full holding. Could have been worse, I suppose.

    £100 win for me this month on 26k.  I wasn't expecting anything this month after an £800 win last month.  My return rate for the past year has been 6.95%.
