nowt here either - certainly seems to be paying out less in 2012 - have they adjusted the payouts ?

[andog]

nowt either.... for a change

[eddieed]

Nowt for me either. I am now starting to wonder if putting the money from the shares I just cashed in here is worth it.

[cjanderson]

i'm not sure how good they are, BUT depends what your other options are. I've got enough money in cash at present (isas and taxed). And no shares are tickling my fancy at present. So its £5k in here and could win something BIG (or just win £25 more months). Or lounge in my current account earning nothing.

I'm not sure I dare posting my results given the disappointing results so far in this thread....

May = £25, £25, £25
June = £25, £25, £25
July = £25
August = £0
September = £25
October = £25, £25, £25

Please don't hate me

Really odd how these three lots of £25 are coming-up - I've never won two lots of £25, or four lots, but now three times in six months I have three £25 wins. Two of this month's wins are quite close together numerically, so maybe Ernie froze during the draw or something

It's slowly making-up for some of the many dry spells though.

I haven't had a win for ages ( none this year I think ) then this month I got 3x £25.. better than a kick in the provincials

August = £0
September = £25
October = £25, £25, £25
November = £25

I've sorted out a few other things (like my ISA allowance has now been filled), leaving me with a fair bit of extra cash that I'm considering investing ahead of the January draw. I've sent off an application for a password to run my bonds online, which hopefully comes through soon.

Of course last time I invested pretty big money in bonds, I had been in a good run of form but then won absolutely nothing for a while after the new money went in, so maybe I shouldn't be pushing my luck

[Arthur Fowler]

Nothing for me this month.

[driver8]

Yay ! After 2 blank months I've got 2 x £25 for November !

Zero again for me after a reasonable run early in the year.

I have just doubled the value of my investment which will kick in for the December Draw so lets see if that starts some new winnings coming in!
