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.”

First really wet day we have had - bucketing down most of the day. Stepson drove out to his friend’s home at Pembroke for the day, so I sorted out a few bits to take home and took the boys and Indi up to Brechfa Forest again. We got wet, but they enjoyed it and Shadow found another nice stone to carry home. The poor car will need the tyres blowing up to take all the ones he has collected! Quick sort-out tonight when he’s not looking. Looking forward to being home now, which is good for me - I usually start thinking about it the day after we arrive anywhere. I never unpack, just live out of the cases or bags, so it is quicker to shovel all the odds and ends in, throw them in the car and go.

Blue headline arrows - so glad they're not there today, confused me no end and weren't helpful at all. Always worth trying something new! :-)

A man tried to sell me stolen boots, they were all left ones.
Problem solved, I directed him to a man with only one leg..

@ANN - Yep, he swapped socks with his prosthesis when they got too smelly., ok I suppose, but you don't want to be sharing a hot mountain tent in France in midsummer with him, like I had to.

Enver, I used to travel to work with someone who had lived in a flat over a shoe shop. They were awoken one niight with an almighty bang downstairs. Someone had broken in and stolen the shoes from the window (left foot only)!
