£100 each for me and the missus this month, still spectacularly failing to match what we would have earned in interest in a savings account this year ...

After 2 months of bugger all, we get 7 this month
3 x £25
2 x £50
2 x £100

2 x 50. It's summot I suppose.

I made >£300 in tax free interest this month on one account. I know I'll make the same next month. And the month after that. And after that. And.....

Tell us about the Porsche you're going to look at

I'd have to get off my yacht first.

BTW that £300 is with a sum less than the maximum you're allowed in PBs

Would you care to tell us where we might find such a good deal? Or is it not available to us mortals?

PBs wise. I had 3 prizes this month, 25, 50 and 100. From a holding of £14,500. The last 3 months I've had zero prizes !

This year has been like the previous one for me. A flurry of wins in the first few months then just 1 in the rest of the year. Overall it's still something like a 4 or 5% return. I'm getting more than that on the 'plucky little portfolio' of shares....but the actual value of the shares has gone down.

Both are more fun than the savings account though.

Definitely available to mortals

TBF one of my savings accounts - the "big" one - is/was a Cash ISA locked in at a good rate for several years, last year, with a high street bank. You won't quite get that good any more I don't think, but you can still get some reasonable deals. If you wanted to have a slightly more risky account you could probably get more on a innovative finance ISA doing P2P loans (which I think you already have?).

The other place I have a chunk of cash is with an online portal which allows you to access load of different savings accounts. Not gonna post full details, but it's one of the big names in banking but not people with high street branches like Lloyds, HSBC etc. Deffo someone a mere pleb like me can access though!

£100 And a £50 this month.

Zero again,time to look elsewhere..

Ooh! Let the champagne flow! £25.

Also structured notes.

Nawt on the premium bonds this month.

The Ethereum is up about 50% since February though. I'm selling mine now, I'm not hanging on for the BC halving.

The Bald Beast (who seems to have an excellent handle on such things) says now is the time to go meme coin. I've opted for Dogecoin; surely the gold standard of the memes.

Dogecoin is up 90% on the week and 160% on the month.

Now up about 250% on the month. A good result for Dogecoin and anyone with some.

I don't they will go up much for a while now. But I'll keep what I have, I think it will be worthwhile over the next two years or so. It's a gamble of course.

Let me guess. High Lord Elon owns a few? Whoda thunk it that the drive to help 'restore' a nation could be profitable.

A good mate bought about £20k of XRP a few months ago. I think it's worth about £80k now. If I were him I'd be tempted to sell a good chunk of that now.
