2 times £25 for us this month on £30000.

Not great but not had any for a long time, so fifty quid is better than nothing!

Well, either that or quit while you're ahead!

3 times £25 for us this month too!

I wish I could say it's enough for a good meal out, but I think a slap up meal at Mrs Miggins pie shop is all we could get with that!

I've held 3.3k of bonds for just over a year with no returns. I'm not particularly bothered about this as I am holding them purely for the slight chance of a big win.

I have another 3k sitting in a bog standard 0.2% account, should I put this into bonds too ? or would I be best putting the 6k into an ISA ?

This may have been covered already but has anyone ever won more than £100? I have won most months this year but always £25 or multiples of.

Has anyone on here ever won a big amount? not a friend of a friend but yourself personally?

Was moaning the other day that I hadn't won anything for 2 years only to get £25 this month.

I've got £5k in PB's and not had a sniff of a win for over a year, even then it's only been the odd £25.

Not particularly bothered by the lack of small wins, this is rainy day money that might, just might get us a biggie, but with a new baby, wife on maternity, her old jalopy needing replacement and a big looming bill on my M3 its days as an investment are looking numbered!

Not me personally, but I check them on behalf of my parents also, and my Dad won £500 in 2013......

Nothing since July (IIRC) here either, a very bad run for me after months of generally winning £50 pm.
