not a sausage.

But looking a the prize breakdown it was nice to see a £5k win from a £1 investment made back in the 1960s. Some one should be thanking their gran or granddad about now

£25. At the moment PB's are safe bit not rewarding, no huge surprise.

Will continue to dream of paying mortgage off and riding in the Alps all summer!

Nothing this month but I've had a good run up to now... Surely this means a big prize next month

£300 for me, £50 for herself. It keeps trickling in, but is hardly life-changing so far.

Nothing at all for over 6 months now, thinking of bailing out and investing in coke and hookers instead.

£100 for me. Happy as always. Looking forward to December with the added bonus of opening an advent calendar window and seeing what I win from that as well.

Another month of nothing has been enough for me. Cashing it all out and putting it in a high interest account instead as the guarantee of 8.4% is far better than hoping to average 2-3% with the tiny possibility of winning more. When interest rates eventually drop (or NS&I make the odds of winning better) I may put some back in but until then I'll stick to just the Lottery for my gambling and go with guaranteed returns for everything else.

@reluctantjumper - Where are you seeing 8.4%? The best I can get at the moment it about 6%

It's a Flex Regular Saver from Nationwide, have to be an existing Member to qualify (current, savings or mortgage already with them). 3 withdrawals a year max before the rate drops but fine for a decent return but still keeping access if needed.

You can only drip feed £200 a month into those (i.e. no initial large deposit) so the impressive headline rate can be a bit misleading.

It's fine if you want to drip feed £200 a month in but not great if you want to transfer a decent holding from PBs in one hit. It's 8% pa iirc but of course you'll only realise that on the first £200.

...as frogstomp said while I was making a brew!

I got all hopeful after seeing Zippy’s wins.

6 prizes totalling £300, better that a swift kick in the swingers.

£425 for us. That's our biggest one yet. Still got our unbroken record for now. I'm dreading our first zero month!
