    £0 on full holding this month.   :/   Disappointing, yes but can’t really complain as have had not had a blank month for well over a year now. Hopefully this is not the new normal!!!!
    Congratulations to all winners!

    For a bit of fun, if you won £1 million what would you do with it.

    I’d  buy a bungalow in Devon with a big flat lawn to play croquet.  I’d like 2 Maine Coons.  For non cat people they are the biggest and hairiest domestic cat. 😺 I’d top up my PBs to the maximum and put some aside so future operations can be done privately.  Replace my Toyota Yaris but don’t know yet what I’d buy.  
    I was thinking this just the other month when it was super hot. If Millionaire Agent had turned up at my door the first thing I would have done would be to source an air conditioning unit so I could cool down and to order a takeaway so I could relax to think clearly on my first purchases. 😊 After that I'd be on the lookout for somewhere detached and out of earshot of neighbours, where I could hear nature rather than power tools early morning or late into the evening. Perhaps somewhere near the coast though not a tourist trap, or with mountain views... Nothing flashy and expansive (or overly expensive), just somewhere that rested my mind and made life more enjoyable.

    Though I have little contact with family I'd see if they needed any financial help plus donations to charities close to my heart.

    A million is more than I could ever hope for or even need, though it's nice to have the chance, however small, to win such an amount. I've lived on so little for so long that one of the smaller amounts could make such a difference, though it'd be nice to win enough to not have to worry and live comfortably for the rest of my life. 🤞😊

    Last month's first dry month since Jan 23 was obviously a computer error and corrected this month with £250 so a 3.56% return rolling year.

    £100 for me on about £8k - the win came from a £100 bond rather than a big block
    Rolling year winnings £375, a return of over 4.5%
