    I'm not impressed with my return this year as I've only received 2.75% on full holding. It's also the best I've done for decades.

    I did so much better when I bought my first two bonds and but have had very little return since. My first bond of £100 won £50, and my second bond of £200 won £50 two years later - that was the beginning and end of my luck, years ago.

    Just £175 on FH this month.  Last month was big fat £0. 
    Haven't worked out the % for the year, but it can't be great.  Biggest win was Oct £200. Rather disappointing but the tax free element is rather attractive.

    £225 won this month, most I've ever had in a month.  Pretty pleased with that.
    Spend less now, work less later.
  • Nothing for me this month on £7500 holding. Didnt expect anything though as I have had a 3 month run with a great £500 win last month.
    Make £10 a Day Feb .....£75.... March... £65......April...£90.....May £20.....June £35.......July £60
