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!

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.”

Little Owl. The problem with all that Tupperware is, I wouldn't know which container I've to put my car keys in.
SuedeNym. We do have dozens of lids, most of which never fit quite right. I hadn't thought of silicon or whatever so I'm going to have a look next time I'm in both. Thanks for that.

@A Nick Name, have you tried the silicone lids? I got some that were pretty cheap from B&M or Home Bargains and they are quite handy as they are stretchable over a bowl or pan. I also kept a fair few of the plastic lids that were on the yoghurt pots, which are very useful now that they've stopped putting them on.

You annoying person🤣 We've bought pans from Lakeland that have plastic lids so they can go from oven to fridge, rarely use the lids yet years later they don't fit right, and they're kept together so clearly the right ones. We've also a drawer full of lids yet it's always difficult to find lids to fit tubs etc. It all began to go wrong when fish started eating cream. Because they were eating the lids, I assume, supermarkets stopped selling cream with a plastic lid on. I always just peel the foil back but like to have a proper lid to put the remainder in the fridge.

Hooray, just had a phone call offering me an earlier date for my carpal tunnel op - instead of 30th Sept it’s now 16th Sept. That’s going to be a busy week - the boys start their new training classes on Saturday 12th, Indi goes in to be spayed on 14th, then my op on 16th. Life could be difficult trying to keep them from jumping all over her, and holding them on leads with one hand in a bandage/cast/splint or whatever.

Beth, if you can't get some help from the dog walker see if you can find somebody to help you with the housework. Given your track record it is not worth taking risks. I misread Barrie's comment as pubes.

I made a lead which fits around my waist so I don't need to hold it, but you have to be careful they don't pull you over. A tsunami wouldn't knock me down so it was good for me. I read today our outdoor market has been cancelled tomorrow as they've seen a forecast for gusts. I haven't looked but I'm guessing it's another health and safety gone mad thing. I find it very hard to believe they'd have gusts here that would affect it.

Mad, I’m shouting! I hate hoovering, so let me know what time you’re arriving and I’ll get the kettle on.
Barrie - I know it’s a typo, but if there was one thing I don’t need help with, it’s pubs!

I am sure you will need help with the dogs as you will be basically one handed. A friend had that same op earlier this year and she had to wear the brace/wrist support for ages afterwards. I’m sure I’m telling you what you already know but be careful.

Just finished a Pure Spectrum survey, about grocery-buying, and one of the lists of grocery items included "National anthems". Wonder where I could find one of those? The middle aisle at Lidl maybe? 😳🤪
