When I was about sixteen a fortune teller told me that I'd never win anything and I'd have to work hard for everything I have, and so far that's been true.
So the £150 is only what I'd be getting elsewhere in interest, but I'm ever hopeful that she was wrong and one day I land a big prize.

Hope and optimism :)
They could start a new version of Macbeth with that.
Is this an ISA which I see before me...
So foul and fair a day I have not seen on the bond market.

OK full disclosure, £150 2x25 +100.

In some version of the multiverse, I'll win the jackpot. In one of them, I'll win ALL the jackpots but thats a tricky one to find.

I'm not greedy though, I'll be happy with one massive win. Any time now would be great. ;)

And that's what we're all buying really, the hope.

Come on fella, at least try.
If you have a contrary opinion then you could have used your post to politely point out where you think I was wrong and what you think would be a better approach. If you actually had anything decent to say then maybe some people reading might have even found it useful.

Looking at likes and feedback......

No one cares how many watches you have
Like wise with how many cobra meetings you attend
Like wise how many times you mix with royalty
Like wise how many large ones you chuck at 7 seater range rovers
I could go on. But........

I have a suggestion and advice for you........ you won’t like it but here we go........

Give up the bumming hat. You’ve had it that long it’s fubared. Worn out.
Give it to weeksy or at push I’ll have it

Go back to putting some real life posts on this forum. The masses will love you for it as I will do

I noticed this in the junk mail earlier

Even more chances to win
We increased our prize fund rate for the September prize draw from 4.00% to 4.65%, the highest it’s been for over 20 years. An extra £66 million was added to the prize fund with over 250,000 more tax-free cash prizes up for grabs.

The odds of each Bond winning improved to 21,000 to 1, meaning even more chances for you to be a winner!

Here's hoping :thumbup:

I had to post the form to get access/information, so did that in the 10 days ago. Just got to wait for the info to come back to me so I can find out if I've won anything in the last 8 years!!
