    20K moved to a fixed rate pay monthly cash ISA last year has earned around 10% more than the 30K left in PB. So another 20K now with some ISAs near 4.5%. If the PB rate improves in the future there's always the option to add more, but right now it doesn't seem the best option.

    I've been so long without a win that I forgot to check last month's draw for a week or so. I've now not had a win for 13 months. 😕

    2022...0.6%...£25

    2023..5.9%...£250

    2024...16.2%...£725

    2025...1.4%...£75

    2026...0.0%...£0

    Let's hope my luck drastically improves. I can't expect my good fortunes of 2024, but anything would be good to stop this drought.

    Just £75 on FH. A bit disappointing but at least it's not a blank. Three digit win for a change would keep me happy!

    I just dumped my last 20k holding into an ISA, it's just not worth it any more, last year the return on FH was 2% for me. If I had a spare 50K and maxed out every other option then I might consider it again.

    Only £25 for my OH and nowt for me on full holdings this month. I'm seriously considering reducing the holdings and moving back into S & S ISAs once the Trump effect calms down !!

    If 'seriously' is meant literally there, investing isn't an obvious response to weak PB returns, and trying to time entry into markets is also rarely recommended…
