Norfolk Retiree Wins £885 on the Main Draw

Jools Tinsley, a 62-year-old retiree from Caister near Great Yarmouth in Norfolk, won £885.71 on the free online lottery, Pick My Postcode!

Pick My Postcode Winner Jools Tinsley and her husband

Jools, who has lived in Norfolk for the majority of her life, is retired from local government and now runs an Etsy shop, creating handmade crafts. Jools first joined Pick My Postcode in 2015, and finally after years of checking daily and building her bonus through surveys, her postcode was picked on the Main draw, winning her an amazing £885.71, completely for free.

When asked how it felt to win, Jools said: “It’s awesome. It will allow us to treat our close family.” Jools said the win was a particularly welcome surprise after what had been a difficult day. She planned to go to bed early after she’d had treatment that day on a retinal tear, she decided to check her emails, and after seeing her daily email reminder was shocked to log in and see that she had in fact won the main draw. When asked how she planned to spend the winnings, Jools said: “We’d already decided to go camping together so as well as covering the pitch costs we’ll look after the cost for everything.”

 The site offers multiple opportunities for your postcode to be picked every single day. Pick My Postcode has 6,369 active members in Norfolk and since 2011, the residents have won a total of £63,308.07. Jool’s win proves that checking Pick My Postcode takes only seconds but could make a huge difference. Join thousands of members who check daily and start growing your own bonus today!

  • How can a day change so quickly? This morning I had a really good walk with the boys, Indi went out with dog walker and I had time to wash my hair and go down to pick my mate up,(let’s call her Anne), take her over to the hospital for her second endoscopy (first one incomplete results) and still be there by 9.10 (appointment time 9.45). They called her in early, and I thought Oh good, we should be home in a couple of hours. Big mistake. I had taken my new coursework book, file pad, ipad and even remembered my reading glasses so plenty to get on with. I realised, some time later, that it was well over 2 hrs - in fact 12.02pm, so asked the receptionist if she could find out how much longer Anne would be. She told me to use the designated phone to ask the ward staff - ‘Oh, yes, Anne - she’s just going down now.’ ‘Down where?’ says I. ‘Down to start her procedure.’ ‘But she’s been there since 9.10. Appointment due 9.45. Why is she just going down now!’ Silence. Then nurse says ‘I’ll come out’ and tells me they have to change plans sometimes, and can’t always run to plan, very sorry…’ Patronising and expecting me to say OK, I understand. I was livid.

    I didn’t shout or swear, I just said why on earth had nobody put their head outside to tell me at 9.45 that Anne would not be seen until around midday, or would be No. 4 or 10 or whatever, so I could have gone home then? It was inconsiderate, selfish and totally unnecessary. I had dogs shut in at home and other things to do (Indi was due at vets 3.15). When I asked how much longer she just said Well, the procedure could be half an hour, or an hour, then Anne would have to go to Recovery for another half hour to an hour (actually she wouldn’t, as she doesn’t have a sedative for endoscopy so doesn’t need Recovery.). It could be another 1-2 hours. ‘So you were happy to let me sit here for five hours without letting me know what was happening, and instead of being out around 10.30-11am, it would be nearer 2pm.’ She just kept saying they were sorry but sometimes things got changed - I just said I’m going home, and Anne can ring when she’s ready, but I am not coming back for two hours and I think you are very inconsiderate and badly organised.

    I steamed all the way downstairs, made a complaint to the main desk, which was a waste of time as they said it wasn’t their department but Southampton General’s, steamed all the way home through horrific traffic jams, long queues at two lots of road works, the train gates shut, cows blocking the road in one place and horses wandering along in another, with tourists slowing down to watch. I got home and the termites had got into stepson’s end of the house, turned out his waste bin and kitchen bin, carted all the debris right through the house, eaten his bananas, chewed a can of coke and trailed it along the carpet…. When I got a phone call about 20 mins later to say she was ready I had only just cleared up!

  • We finally got our emergency appointment today with the neurologist, booked 2-3 week ago. I don't know how long it would be if it wasn't emergency. Wife is out of hospital, still has symptoms but improving a bit, but has to go to bed to rest regularly in the daytime. We expected to get some new meds to get her back on track but fortunately she mentioned a couple of possible cancers they found on different scans while she was admitted so the consultant immediately said we can't do that then. He checked the records and said until it's investigated further she can't have them, or two others we knew about, so it's quite a large increase in her current meds in the hope it might work. The large increase can cause the problem she already has so we'll have to watch for that and if so it will be a third admission. We are hoping not as she's already on a higher amount than before the crisis started, so although we are more than doubling it at least we're not going to six times as much, which it will be compared with what was keeping her stable beforehand. The hope is a big increase, gradually reducing as hopefully things improve. The first couple of weeks or so will be the real test. One major problem was the meds he was going to put her on can cause cancer, or worsen existing cancers, and he wasn't even aware of the possible ones seen on the scans until she mentioned it. That's the NHS today, and people wonder why I knock them.

    • Best Wishes. I hope you have a peaceful night and your wife feels better now she is at home.

    • Best of luck, Mrs Nick. You’ve got enough to put up with, you don’t need to be ill too! Hope they find a way of settling things down for you and the cancer turns out to be something minor instead.

    • Let's hope there's some improvement in your wife's health soon Nick

  • Took my car in for a service today.

    You should have seen the vicars face!! 😜😜

    • 😂😂

    • 🤣🤣

  • sorry if i did anything wrong yesterday i dont know what a thread is and was trying to reply to shyboy but making conversation too i didnt expect to be remonstrated for it thankyou to the people who supported me with their comments im in my 70s had 2 strokes and am not very litterate with a computer i honestly thought i was replying to shy boy so very sorry i did itwrong spose ive done this in the wrong place too

    • Hi Rocky, stay with it, I guarantee that you will enjoy the conversations on here now that you know how it works. There are lots of jokes and much banter with a huge range of threads for you to join in with and there is a comments section on each draw page containing all sorts of topics.

    • Yes, do stick with it Rocky doing what you can.

      This is a great community on here and will help if you need it.

      Enjoy reading and responding to comments by using the reply button if you remember.

      I thought your reply intended for Shyboy was a nice, chatty message.

    • Well done for sticking at it Rocky👏 nothing to apologise for as anyone can post in the supposedly wrong place without realising it.

      As an aside, it does take quite a while to go through all the FAQs and rules. Don't be put off posting.

      PS, Saphicat has put it better than I did🙂

    • Rocky - I know exactly what you mean about computer literacy. My kids think it's hilarious that we don't know how to do some things. They can't comprehend that all this IT & mobile technology, that they take for granted, wasn't around when we I was growing up in the 80's / early 90's

      If it helps, a Thread' is basically a 'conversation' about a particular topic or question. For instance, you started this thread and we simply replied to you. A thread just dies off when people stop adding to it and it will eventually fall off the bottom of the page - because new threads keeps being posted about other things and pushes old ones down & down.

      What the lovely Em said about using 'reply' just makes sure that your comment to Shyboy (in this case) is part of his thread & it makes sense. So, please don't be put off commenting on other people's threads, all you have to do is - after you have read something that you would like to reply to /comment on, look at the bottom right of that thread & you should see a blue reply link. Tap on that & a comment box opens up for you. 😉

    • Em, Hope you weren't drinking at the time ;-)

    • Maddadof, I have to admit that I snorted a little at that.

    • Rocky, Hope this cheers you up. Did you hear that Arnold Schwarzenegger wil be doing a film about classical music?.. He'll be Bach...

    • Hi rocky. Sorry to hear that you have had 2 strokes. Don't be put off from posting further comments.

    • Hi Rocky. I am sorry that you felt my reply was in that tone. I didn't mean it to be. I just asked if you could please use 'reply' next time and showed you the FAQ article for it because it helps to keep conversations going and avoids any confusion.

  • The new banner ads at the bottom of the page are infuriating. They cover the navigation to different draws on mobile, which is a real accessibility issue. Please reconsider these ads.

    • Thanks Em.

    • If you turn your phone to landscape orientation, that should make the x a bit bigger and the ad easier to manage/close.

    • The x to delete the add is so small on my phone i land up missing it and getting full page adverts.

    • We only make the ads for our other sites Win A Dinner & PMPCompetitions and for our Games & Puzzles page. The rest are just ad spaces which we rent out to Google ads.

      They all have an x in the corner and only take a second to close. They will fill the page if you touch them outside of the x. Just make sure that you don’t scroll too quickly and accidentally hit it, then you will be able to react to the ad when it comes up by closing it, instead of accidentally swiping on it. Turning your device to landscape should expand the ad and make clicking the x easier.

      The ad stays at the bottom of a hand held device, not static on a section of our site. You can continue to scroll and see what was under the ad. The page moves separately to the ad.

      Our draw boxes have red buttons in them which enable you to navigate between the pages. The Main Draw box has a red button which says “Check survey draw”. The Survey Draw’s button then says “Check video draw” etc. So there are other ways to move around the site.

      Just scroll down until the bottom of the draw box is in the centre of your screen and you can use the “Check x survey” button to move to the next draw. There’s an example image here:

      https://help.pickmypostcode.com/article/163-theres-an-ad-blocking-the-tabs

      So you can just ignore those ads and use the alternative buttons.

      If you are served an ad which is not one which shrinks to a banner or bar size, or if it doesn’t have an x to close it, or if the close function doesn’t work, please take a screenshot and email us – admin@pickmypostcode.com
