    £300 on full holding. I was telling myself I was finally going to cash in a big chunk of my PB this week after not brilliant results this year, and the moment I do I end up winning a half decent amount. 

    I've now decided I'm going to tell myself the same thing every month now..

    4 X £100 this month on just over £30k. 

    Second best month I've had in  2.5 years, I won £1000 very early on, and that was my best. 

    Holding has reduced a bit during that time, we use PBs as a cash float, and withdraw for big expenditure.

    Prior to the last 2-3 months I was getting anywhere from 0 to 75 and underperforming average on max

    In July I got £200, august £450 and this month £600. Each month new record, heres hoping it continues!

    Hard to complain as high rate tax payer, going well recently!
    Back to £200 this month but compared to before still very good happy with that

    £100 this month on full holding. Which brings me to 2.88% YTD which is very disappointing indeed.
