    £25 for me on £47k and £225 for hubby on full holding.

    About time my multiples run out. Had about £1500 this year calendar year so far. 

    We use pbs as a form of cash so don't need to worry about fixed saver interest rates vs pbs. We have those as well. I get if you are using them as savings it is a bit different.

    £75 (25+50) for me on £8k holding.  The £50 was from a £100 group of bonds I bought in January this year.  Happy with that.

    My lucky streak this year seems to be continuing. I won one prize, worth £100. This brings my total for 2023 to £650. On a holding of £25,500 that's an annualised return of 4.4%. Not bad at all. Hopefully my luck continues as the expected returns increase in August.

    Well done, that's quite good on 8k holding.
    S.F.A  for me so far but I like the thrill of guessing what I have won before I open up the email that normally comes around 3 days or so after the draw.  That is if I get an email this month.
    Corduroy pillows are making headlines! Back home in London now after 27years wait! Duvet know it's Christmas, not original, it's a cover.

    I always check just after 11:30 pm but then remembered I’m currently on a cruise ship running on European time! Another hour to wait…
    Even if you don't get a prize my sympathy is somewhat diminished :p Enjoy the cruise!
