£150 on a £26k holding. That makes £1225 over the 12 eligible draws since I bought the bulk of it, which is an approximately 4.85% return over that time.Proud member of the wokerati, though I don't eat tofu.Home is where my books are.Solar PV 5.2kWp system, SE facing, >1% shading, installed March 2019.Mortgage free July 20230

£125 from a £14,500 holding. I'll take that1

Only the second month with £50k and it's £250 for me.FIRE !!!1

1 x £25 + 1x £100 = £125 on £21k0

1 x £50 this month, better than the zip last month - on £22k. That's the worst consecutive 2 months for some time. It's dropped my rolling year return to 5.11% from over 7% in June, but still above my personal threshold for keeping them.
I'm a smidge miffed, as I had made a deal with myself that I'd treat myself to something I'd like if I had a 'decent' win. I
don't think I can really justify £50 as 'decent'. So I either lie to myself, or do without.
