Last month £325, this month £250. Holding £45,000.
Mister CJ has £50k in bonds but seldom wins more than me each month so it’s probably not worth me buying any more.1 -

My first ever win - £100 on a £580 holding! Very happy with that, I didn't expect to win anything with such a small holding.
I've been just adding spare change (£30 or so) each month for the thrill as an alternative to throwing my money away with the lottery12 -
