Pick My Postcode’s Stackpot Draws

I’ve done the survey too James. 👍

Best of luck. 🤞

Thanks Effra, I really appreciate it!

Done! Best of luck with your Masters.

I choose to believe that it's actually the king who won £10 yesterday. It's more fun

For those who don't know, members are free to use any valid UK postcode they wish. It doesn't have to be their residential one, and many have chosen to use a UK landmark like this. It doesn't mean that they live there.

one of the many postcodes I've used but not currently :) potential 35 winners

💞@ Bob

Sending love to your family today, Bob.

My Dad would have been 100 today. Tough day for my Mum, my brother is with her today

Close to Queen Elizabeths 100th Birthday too, awww 🙂

Possibly added to his USA holiday fund!

Second Thought

Wondered whether it was maybe 'Airmiles Andy' - he certainly need the cash!

If the King has any decency he will share it with his family. Andrew is out of work at the moment and would probably appreciate it.

And somebody has claimed it - I hope Charlie is enjoying his £10! Wonder how much of a bonus he's racked up...

Yep. Our King was quick to claim - lol! :-D Don't know how long you've been here anon, but there have been a few claims with this postcode. Thoughts are it might be staff (there are a lot of staff at Bucks Palace) or just a postcode someone has picked for their own. Before anyone thinks otherwise, it's perfectly acceptable that this postcode has been registered and drawn.

I remember that. I think they won about £10K each as I recall.

About three months into the National Lottery, there was a week where the main draw had, IIRC, 131 winners. I don't know what the six numbers were... I'm fairly sure that there has never been another week in which there have been more than 10 winners. Those 131 people must've been gutted when they realised they weren't going to win millions.

SW1A 1AA

4th time in the Stackpot....and it won the main draw once as well...

Indeed- the difference is that has never come out, ever, on any 6 number lottery anywhere in the World. Imagine having to share with 5000 people

Yes... it occurs to me that using this one is the equivalent of choosing 1,2,3,4,5,6 on the National Lottery :)

You've gotta be quick if that's your postcode!

Well nobody's jumped in quick! Oh yes they have!

Must have been 34 eligible then.

Not many obviously as only 53 possible winners

Alas Barrie ….so as my medication… 😟😒

:-)

My medication has caused mine. 😠

😂

😄😄

There's an Alpaca farm near me, they're amazing!

Personally I'd love to be an apiarist (bee keeper). Does that count as farming?

I would have an organic farm with a variety of crops - veg and a fruit orchard in a mixed farmed area like someone here in Devon is pioneering. The idea is to have a balance of companion planting and banks that encourage the natural predators of pests, rather than have designated rows/fields for different crops. I wouldn't have animals unless they were part of a natural rewilding.

You could have alpacas Caroline and people would come and pay to pet them or walk them, then when they get sheared like sheep you get a fortune for the fleece 🐑

Well, I went to agricultural college when I left school (to train to be a farm secretary/book-keeper) and worked on a sheep and arable farm for a few years after that. To be honest I wouldn't want to run a farm at all. I wouldn't keep animals as I couldn't keep them knowing they were going to be slaughtered for food, and arable farming isn't very lucrative. If I had a farm I'd just want to run it as a tourist attraction - for example, by running rural crafting classes, opening it for camping and/or B&B, or exhibiting old farming equipment and machinery. Something along those lines anyway.

I agree the government is stupid but can't agree they hate farmers considering all the subsidies. They have offered £100,000 for older farmers to leave or rent out farms etc, and they pay them to leave fields fallow, which any farmer knows is a normal part of farming. In my opinion government shouldn't be paying anyone to do their job. It's no wonder the country is on its knees. The more people are given the more they want. Why is the government responsible for everything these days. It's time people accepted responsibility for their own lives, the way it used to be.

Having watched Clarkson's Farm on Amazon Prime, it wouldn't be sheep, which seem to have suicidal tendencies.

I’d probably sell up and move abroad, this stupid government hates farmers and seems determined to import all of our food

I'd breed Vicuñas (small, wild, and produce the world's finest, rarest, and most expensive wool), & grow grapes, nuts or sugar beet.

I have been on the site around 9 years now. Haven't got £11,000 bonus but would be more than happy to win my £4,000+ bonus 😅

Remember that the site's been around for over 15 years as well.

This blog states all of the ways a member could increase their bonus, if they wanted to:

https://pickmypostcode.com/blog/why-you-should-grow-your-bonus/

You can build your bonus with 3p/day for checking the draws, joining WinADinner, doing lots of surveys, referring friends, & taking bonus offers.

Only those with nicknames are on the leaderboard, but anyone that has been on this site since it first started many years ago could have earned a lot more too.

You might say it's up to you how much you want to win by building your bonus..

It’s only 1004 years of daily 3p clicks. It must be inherited.😊

You just have to click/tap on one of the pins to see the postcode, amount, draw name and date.

But it still does!

@James just completed ✔️

CarolineC I think you'll find you have opinions on this! 😀. There are some interesting questions and you may have ideas that will be useful.

James, it probably was as you posted not long after me. Good luck with your Masters.

James - I'm afraid I didn't complete mine yesterday - I hit a wrong key on my laptop and closed it completely mid-way through. But as you said above we can go back to it later, I may try again tomorrow (too late for me tonight and I've been out most of the day). However, I wanted to ask you something. I'm old and retired with no kids/grand-kids and basically I don't have much in-person contact with young people nowadays. My only interactions with young people nowadays is online! Would my responses still be of help to you? If so, I'll try again tomorrow. :-)

Thanks AJR - if you did yours just now, I'm happy to report that you are my 150th participant! 🎉

I filled it out without a problem also, maybe Adelaide it just hitting the address given thinking it will take them to the site.

Thanks to Em and Suelero, as well as the five other new participants who have taken part this morning, I really appreciate you all!

And I'm sorry the link didn't work for you Adelaide, that's very strange... thanks for trying though, I appreciate it all the same!

I'll also add - if you start your answer and then close it or otherwise have to stop, you can come back to it later. It saves your answers for up to a week, so if you're one of the wonderful people who have made it through the first page or two, feel free to come back tomorrow or this evening to finish off!

It worked for me this morning. When I highlight it, it gives me the option to “open link” straight away. No need to copy and paste.

That is on an iPhone.

That's strange, Adelaide. I have just highlighted, copied & pasted it into a new tab in my browser and it loaded for me. I'm about to complete it myself. Will let you know when I'm done and if it continued to be fine for me.

Edit roughly 30 minutes later: I have just been able to complete it without any issues.

I can only suggest that you try copying and pasting again. If you continue to have problems, the survey provided me with contacts, I could email them to you and you could send James a screenshot of what happened for you, so that he could see.

Hello James. I would be happy to do this but the link does not work. I don't think I can cope with writing down the address, then typing it in.

Is that a confession?

They just have.

Yippee! Congratulations.

You're welcome, SussexGuy 🎉

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🎉🎉🎉

CONGRATULATIONS! 🥳

Congrats SussexGuy, enjoy your win & thanks for posting, gives us all hope. 🥂🍾

👌 enjoy

Congratulations 💰👍🙂

🥳🥳🥳

I hope that the council refused.

Best not mention someone in this area who had masses of English bluebells in full bloom (with their beautiful scent) and asked for them to be hacked down by the council. It is nearly as bad as the crime of having the White House Rose Garden paved over and replaced with patio furniture.

English bluebells show a number of differences from the invasive Spanish variety - the way the flowers are arranged on the stem, the colour of the pollen, the fragrance and the shape of the leaves.

The reference to 'English' bluebells isn't meant to distinguish them from Scottish, Irish or Welsh ones, but refers to the variety native to the British Isles.

What's the difference between English bluebells and Scottish or Irish or Welsh ones, they all look the same to me? I'm in Aberdeenshire and my back garden is full of them, they even come up through a small gap between my side path and the wall of the house, all the way along the wall...

Ours are nowhere near out. We still have daffodils here. My big magnolia tree is in full flush though

CarolineC, I really hope that you are able to get to see them.

@ Ieuan Lewis, Dark Land?

CarolineC, I hope you manage it too. Bluebells are one of my favourite flowers, but I never get to see them 'in the wild' now.

CarolineC, I really hope that you get to see the bluebells 🤞

Getting to a local ancient bluebell wood since, from the photos posted in a local Facebook group, it looks like they're out already! This could be our last chance to see them in bloom since our mobility is getting so much worse. We want to go and enjoy the sight and smell of beautiful English bluebells one more time.

On Saturday I’m finally getting to meet a cousin for the first time who is over here from Australia 😀

To make it to the end of the week due to a high demand for my services (acting)

Trying to persuade a recalcitrant financial company to respond to emails within a week each time. Appalling customer service.

I've got 8 network switches to install, stack, configure and patch for a new gaming suite by Friday. Plus my wife is coughing like a racehorse so we'll see if it spreads.

Surviving the first week back at school.

Get my husband to the pharmacy for his Covid jab on Wednesday but if he’s having a bad day I’ll have to rearrange it.

Little Owl That did make me giggle!

The breeze was high, the sun was bright

My laundry made a lovely sight.

But right out front for all to see,

Were knickers torn quite shamefully.

A gaping hole, a jagged shred

The lace was hanging by a thread.

The postman winced and turned away

I think he saw too much today.

If you copy that postcode, paste it into Google maps and open the satellite view, you can clearly see the houses. Not many of them, granted, but they are in plain sight.

Little Owl…you don’t use them for panscrubs then like Victoria Wood🤪

Ah, Camer park, remember it well. There was a particularly huge tree known to me and my brothers as the climbing tree. There was a small wooded area at the far end. My youngest brother taught me how to whistle using my fingers in case I got lost...ah, bless him. Still very protective of me even now. 💗

My postcode only covers about 100 yards (for those who remember those things) square. It is only for the block of flats where I live.

@ grumpgran, we live on a main road, but our postcode is still about 300 yards end to end

If I win, can you please not google me, those torn knickers on the washing line are the ones I use for polishing the windows.

When I was living in Scotland, my house was one of just five properties in my very rural postcode, spread over a large area; Google's postcode marker was always planted right in the middle of an empty (except for sheep) field.

I always told people "don't rely on Google maps to find us" and used What3Words to direct confused delivery drivers to my house.

Or use this https://www.doogal.co.uk/UKPostcodes

Google Maps only centralises the postcode. Use Zoopla to check.

Camer Street, Meopham, Gravesend DA13 0XR

7 properties in it.

I'd rather you didn't

and keep them there, cheers...lol

Yes please.

For those still confused, I'm referring to the tuned timpani hit ("The minute you walked in the joint..." (BOING!). Sorry, maybe it's just me but I thought it stood out as an obvious sound in the song. Perhaps others don't hear it the same way!

Perhaps I should have told my vampire joke instead.

Ditto!

The minute you walked in the joint

I could see you were a man of distinction

A real big spender

Good-looking, so refined

Say, wouldn't you like to know what's going on in my mind?

I still don't get it 🤔🤷‍♀️??

Sorry, it's a little oblique :) Listen to "Hey Big Spender" and you'll hear the moment clearly after the first line!

Neither did I, I know the song, & all google can tell me is it's on Stackpot Pickmypostcode on 13th April 2026, & that scene is not in any of his films.

Sorry, I don't get this

Sugar on sweet fruit……😝

American crumble. Always way too sweet. Why do people add sugar to apples or strawberries ? Bizarre. Mind you, they put sugar in mayonnaise in America, AND, you can buy Canderel/Sweetex with added sugar for taste ! Yes, I'm not making this up

Fruit topped with a biscuit or pie crust?

Sounds like cobblers to me.

I reckon LUNCH could count for quite a reasonable number in Scrabble if it simultaneously completed a few words and covered at least one premium square.

I beat the computer at Scrabble daily in the Games (it's called Outspell). At least computers can spell (in American & English), some people can't.

Cobbler is made by placing fruit in a baking dish and then topping it with a biscuit or pie crust & served warm or cold, with or without ice cream. yumm.

I met Margaret Thatcher before she was Prime Minister through my job at the time.

Just to balance things I also met Harold Wilson after he had been Prime Minister twice by chance on Watford Central train station platform. His security was a bit jumpy about me approaching him but I must have looked harmless enough to do so.

Admin Marie

At least you have not had someone give you a ticking off for playing Scrabble badly!

Today's days are not for me. I don't think I've ever had peach cobbler and I don't wear earrings. I also may be in a minority, but I've never played Scrabble either.

Try googling Peter Kay misheard lyrics. Very funny but expect a little rudeness.

I always thought Pink Panther came from Durham, Durham Durham, Durham, Durham.

That reminds me of "dinner, dinner, dinner, dinner Batman!" Joke from the 70's.

Only just passable as the theme tune.

yep. i do that! plus get a Google map for the postcode

@tracy and others - It's all very well making something a listed building, but then you need to find someone who has a purpose for it. Old schools aren't really suitable in most cases for much apart from being schools, unless they are very small and would make desirable private residences. We have hundreds if not thousands of late Victorian and Edwardian schools dotted around the country, many of them redundant, and unless they are of exceptional interest then - like any other unwanted building - the choice lies between demolition or the Council (i.e. you and me) picking up the bill to maintain them and stop them 'catching alight' when vandals get in.

Personally, I'd rather have 40 new houses than an empty school.

It is probably the same for my old school, as that is now not standing, like yours; it should have been a listed building, but I have no idea its age. The school closed about 2 years after I left, and the children who were still going to it had to be sent to other schools in the area, but they were a good walk away from where we lived.

I’ve only just noticed it today 🤦‍♀️

I was sad and angry that they are demolishing one of my schools. It was built in 1910 and cost £19,600, it was a very grand building. Some of the same people involved in pushing forward plans for the school also built the library in the same town. Locals say there's no reason to demolish it, they've built a new school nearby but the old one should have been a listed building but wasn't. It was demolished by Laing O'Rourke the developers who were gifted the all the materials from the building by the local council, and a new housing development built on the site. What a surprise. You notice I managed to write all that without even mentioning backhanders.

I spent the first three years of my life in the middle of nowhere & although I know where it was it doesn't seem to exist anymore so probably destroyed & built over. 😕The rats used to play under my pram when I was in the garden.

Yes. If it's a postcode area I'm familiar with (eg. if I used to live there or whatever) I usually take a look in Google Maps/Earth. I was sad to see a while ago that the college I went to after I'd finished school is boarded up and ready for demolition. I guess there will be new houses there by now. Also, the town I spent the first 17 years of my life in has so many new houses/estates in the fields I used to play in as a kid.

If it's a postcode area I don't know but which sounds interesting, I also take a look. For example, I've explored quite a bit of the Shetland Islands, Channel Islands and Isle of Man thanks to Google. :-)

Some postcode areas take in most unexpected areas,

For example, Bedford is the county town of Bedfordshire, yet it has an MK42 postcode, and Milton Keynes is in Buckinghamshire. So a county town gets its postcode from a neighbouring county.

One of those is mine, not been a prize winner yet.

Croissants. Usually just a Christmas morning or very occasionally Easter treat.

@Bob up and Down same here although I do go off track buying non GB postal history that appeals to me on ebay, lot of GB stamps seem cheaper to me even allowing for inflation, as my late farther would say you can't take it with you.

Flowers for my better half.

😂🤣😂🤣

As I say to the wife, "More food? Didn't you buy some last week?"

@Alley1940 - you say you're on a 'fixed income' - isn't that exactly what most of us are on, those of us with jobs who get paid a wage or salary?

I can't work overtime or weekends as they're not offered; I have to pay roughly £1800 a year to commute to work, and I'm not entitled to any benefits. That's as close to a worked example of a 'fixed income' as it's possible to get, in my opinion.

Being on a fixed income I don't often have spare money but when I do I buy more food.

Usually goes in the pot for over the Christmas period when other half doesn't get paid

@stampman, with what I now need, most are not truly spare money. I’m fortunate not to be short of money

No such thing as spare money when you have a small fixed income.. I save up & when I see something cheap I want/need then I can buy it.

Today I bought 300g singapore style noodles reduced to 26p in Sainsbury's with some coins I picked up..

A couple of books, a vinyl or 2 maybe, a bottle of wine and a nice meal - it all depends on the time of year. Sometimes every extra penny goes on bills lol

Probably a few DVDs :) I don't know how small a minority I'm in, but I still flatly refuse to watch TV (since 2004) or use streaming services, which suck. Give me physical media that I pay for and own, without ads!

Same as Me, a few Kindle books, some new plants.

The WIFI !!! ;-)

My choices would be from these 3.

1- Kindle book, audible book or occasionally. a film download

2. New plant, or coffee & cake at the garden centre

3. Nice top from the supermarket if I see one

1 and 2 happen more often!

Meth

A CD probably but really I have no idea.

A book or another scarf

A new plant or ornament etc. for the garden

Bob up and Down, I thought you would add to your stamp collection 😅

A meal out

I never have spare money 😢

Books, usually! 😃📚 If it’s a bit more than a little, I might book a massage for myself.

A carton of apple juice

Jam doughnuts (the pack of 5 from Waitrose)

Cup of tea and a traybake/scone at a cafe! 😍

As in gunshot?

Bring on the wall of sound.

I considered carrying that on but I'm too Lays e, and I don't want to be Frito-ring away my time on it

Eye.. saw that joke coming Tata very much lol

Have another 😊

😂

:-) :-) :-)

That's one I'll pass on to my son, he likes dad jokes...

🤣🤣🤣

I like the crunch line.

😁Nice one.

😂😂😂

That actually did make me chuckle!😂

🤣 I like that!

😂👍🤞

Definitely not moved, it's nowhere near Worcester.

Good luck Susiewoo.

Busier once I retired as volunteering for 3 charities in Falkirk before moveing to Frozen North.

Now only 2 charirties, but more driving SWMBO to her charities/Friends/Doctors

🧙‍♂️🧑‍🦯🤣

Everyday is my favourite, since retiring I lose track of time and days, it’s wonderful, no more having to clock watch, or wishing the week away to be home for the weekend, magic 👌

Abisco, I think I know you. First initial N? Do you make Shreddies, and tins of biscuits? 😊

I took a friend to a hospital appt on Easter Sunday. We were worried it was a joke, but it wasn't. The security guard was manning reception though!

Sunday, its my one definite day off every week!

Being retired, waking up every morning and finding I'm still alive is a bonus for me.

Every day is a Sunday to me.

Any day my husband is having a good day.

Caroline, sorry to hear you are still having problems - really difficult when it is your feet. Like Enver, my days have changed - used to live for the weekends when I was working then each day rolled into one when I was working and exhausted with hospital visiting. When things were bad at work I used to look forward to Wednesdays as it was half-way through the week. Now it is when my legs work. This week, it will be when I see the Artemis II Crew arrive home safely at 1a.m.

Being retired I often don’t know what day it is so, all of them and being thankful I am still waking up.

Used to be Saturday when I worked in offices & could have a lie in, go to friends or on trips & do what I wanted.

After mum passed I had to do everything (pay bills, shopping, washing, cooking, cleaning, gardening) on Saturdays if not working on the lorries after a night out, so no time to myself, & it changed to Sunday, this was before internet.

Now I'm retired it's any sunny weekday when the buses are running & offices & shops are open.

@Caroline and Damsel I hope you get the help you need for your health issues. 🙏🏻

My favourite day of the week is when the grandkids are here. 💚

Same as you Caroline although not the foot things you've got, hope that the physio will help you.

Every day's a weekend day when you're retired so I couldn't really give a favourite day that stays the same every week. I guess my favourite day is a day I don't feel as ill/in pain as usual and I maybe even get out for a bit of a walk in nature.

(by the way, if anyone remembers my little moan a week or so back about me awaiting the results of an x-ray to find out if I'd fractured my heel or not, the heel isn't fractured but I've got a calcifying achilles tendon and the same in the plantar fascia underneath the foot, so I still can't walk much. Seeing the physio again next week)

I don't know about a favourite day but I absolutely HATE Sundays, always have. My favourite is probably Monday if I had to choose. Fresh start to a new, as yet, unspoiled week. Then Mr Tom wakes up? Just kidding. 🤣

Same as lol 63 !!

Today is always great, I wake up alive & something will happen.

@The_Mutts_Nuts -

You might not be able to guarantee no medical appointments on a Sunday any more - the NHS is farming out a lot of scans and the like to private hospitals, and I currently have a scan booked for Sunday week, 19th April.

Last year, I had a scan at a private hospital on a Saturday, paid for by the NHS, so weekends are no longer off-limits for these things.

As someone who works 6 days a week and spends Sunday catching up with stuff, I'd probably go for Tuesdays as the one day I get some time off and in the summer get to go on evening walks with my local Wildlife Trust group.

Sunday, the one day I can guarantee no medical appointments. Getting an appointment is difficult at ghd best of times, but with some conditions you end up on the conveyor belt of several per week! I will make the most of it because of the time it took to get a GP appointment in the first place and, once this period of treatment ends, it could be months, or years, before I get another one!

Saturday when we join some of the (working) family for coffee.

Being one of those still doing a 5 day week, Saturday for me, because I know I've still got Sunday off.

Friday is my most regular golf day

Sunday family day

I'd say Saturday, as I know I've got four days off before going back to work!

As every day is a Saturday now, I'll say Saturday.

I'm not so keen on the third Saturday of the week as I have to accompany Mrs Fidsta doing the weekly shopping trip.

@Me K - the Bitcoin question is one of my favourites because it's all done and dusted in a second.

Definitely not!

Especially about something that funds the prizes!

😃

So I’m not allowed to complain ?

@Me K - it took you longer to type "Fed up at being asked about Bitcoin" than it does to click "no"

Please read the disclaimer which comes with the survey.

This survey is designed to understand the change in attitude towards a subject over time, so you may have already answered it before and may be asked to answer it again in the future.

Clients paying us to undertake market research is part of what enables us to be a free prize draw giveaway. We can't afford to turn away paying clients. As long as they wish to keep paying for us to ask it, we will. It only takes a second to answer.

Many people are still in the Phone Book, so keeping your name and address secret is frequently pointless.

If anyone is actually concerned about data privacy, which you should be, it's not a bad idea to install and use a VPN. There are some good, free, ones out there - I use ProtonVPN for anything confidential or sensitive. Also, disable optional cookies and disable cross-scripting; check the 'Do Not Track' option in your browser, turn location OFF and run an Internet Eraser from time to time - or, if you can be bothered, every time you close your browser - to get rid of temp internet files, cookies and other clutter. CCleaner free version is pretty good.

And, of course, don't use your real postcode on here if you're bothered that someone might track you down through username and PMP 'postcode.'

But the fact remains that the people you work with, live near, drink with and so on know far more about you than any research company will ever learn from your Internet use, and we sort of accept that. My neighbours know what car I drive, so do my work colleagues, and they know my hobbies and family life. I don't think it's a huge concern when a survey company asks you to estimate your gross worth, but if you don't want them to know, just lie. They'll never know.

Duh, yes. It makes it much easier to change computers. What a thing to worry about LMAO

It is a "feature" in Windows 11, requiring a Microshaft account and using a virus like activity of ... I'll say 'gathering' as many email addresses as they can find in your account contacts.

Talking of privacy, my new laptop I charged & turned it on for the first time yesterday, linked it to my router, & it automatically found a few lengthy updates, then it asked for my email address which I typed in. It came up with everything from my other older laptop (all my bookmarks, addresses, toolbars, etc) .... even my lady friends full name & address which I didn't know it had, Frightening.

My stamp collection started from my dad's which I added to & I passed it all on to one of my brother's lads but I did keep my FDC's.

Surely anyone who is self-emloyed and sets up their own company is a company director, or have I misunderstood the way it works? If not, there'll be plenty of company directors on here, I would have thought.

I always answer with all the details as I know the info is anonymised. I’ve been giving out that info for around 25 years. However I never mention that I live in a Cul de Sac and certainly won’t divulge the number of hanging baskets I have …some things are far too private.

Does it make a difference if it's a council estate?

I always answer prefer not to say

Another one makes me smile When asked if I’m a company director etc

I don’t think many company directors will be a member on here , but you never know …

Indeed, someone might ask me to insure it !

Bob up and Down, think I will leave the value of my stamp, postal history and postcard collections out of this valuation, how about you 😊

Yes, I understand that, but there seemed to be 6-7 follow-up questions that you don't get to see if you click "Prefer not to Say". Any of those could then give you a link to click through to some wealth manager or estate planning service the way things like Tails.com do.

Not saying it's harmful. Anonymous or not, I can't see why anyone would answer it

All data collected through surveys is anonymised and shared as percentages, for example:

"Out of n number of people asked about (subject), x% said/selected this, y% said/selected that and z% declined to answer." People cannot be identified through the anonymised survey data.

Our Privacy Policy is located in our footer for all members to be able to read. https://pickmypostcode.com/privacy-policy/

Why do you assume it’s totally anonymous. Big data can identify you from your browser fingerprint when cross checked against all the other shared data across the web. Anonymity is a bit of a myth these days unless you go above and beyond to hide who you are.

Even though it's totally anonymous?

It actually reminds me of the YouGov surveys for newspapers which give you statistics of wealth distribution across the UK

Not really, Kaid - more hygienic to wear night clothes and change them frequently than sleep in the same sheets and have to wash them - much more bulky and a real pain to iron, if you do iron them. I slept without nightclothes for many years and feel better for wearing them now.

I dont weae rings watch ear ring to bed nor to i wear clothes mucj fresher

Little Owl, I heard of something similar - a chap was in a works minibus, put his hand up to the top of the opening to steady himself before jumpig out, and caught his ring on the central locking-mechanism where the two doors shut together. Because he was jumping down, he had no way to stop, and ripped his finger off. A girl I know was riding a couple of years back and her horse bucked her off, and she caught her hand in the rein, lost the tip of her thumb, I think. Luckily it was retrieved and taken with her to hospital for reattachment.

Thank you, I know I'm lucky to have him. I hope that he feels the same way. I would think he does or he wouldn't have asked me.

Good for him. You deserve each other xx

Bob, Simon proposed to me and then we headed to a bar on the cruise ship to celebrate where he told me that the ring he proposed with was glass, not diamond because the jewellers in Southampton didn't do ring sizes small enough. He wanted to be honest with me.

But he wanted to buy me a proper engagement ring, so when the ship stopped in Gibraltar, we went shopping together. We found a jewellers who were able to resize a ring down to my size within a couple of hours.

I told him that he didn't need to do that, I couldn't tell that the first ring was glass and it looked beautiful, but he insisted. So I have two rings!

I have never been one for jewelry except a watch so that was all I ever had to take off.

My late wife never took her wedding ring off for any reason. Even when having an operation and was told she had to remove it she wouldn't. They had to wrap her hand as best they could. She was so attached to it I made sure it was put in her ashes when they were buried in our plot.

@ Enver. Like you I am very attached to my crown jewels.

What's the difference between a proposal ring and an engagement ring ? For my generation, they are the same thing . Sounds like a marketing scam.

I keep my wedding ring on but my proposal ring and engagement ring go in a ring box overnight. I toss and turn and wouldn't want to rip the sheets.

This is strange, Barrie. You know when things from years ago suddenly come back into your mind. Well, the day before this post, I remembered someone at work telling me his son had just had a nasty accident at the garage where he worked. His wedding ring got caught in something and he lost a finger and badly damaged his tendons. I don't wear jewellery or a watch in bed. People who wear rubber bands around their wrist, to prove they support a cause, worry me. They will end-up with infected wrists.

I wear earrings and wedding ring and on occasions other items, all comes off every night.

I keep on my watch, rings and bracelet, but earrings and necklaces have to come off. It's a question of simplicity vs comfort; it takes ages to remove the rings, and put them or the bracelet back, so I keep them on. The earrings and necklaces are uncomfortable to sleep in, so I remove them. Simple.

Wedding and eternity ring stay on, plus the chain with my worn-thin first wedding ring on (husband bought me another before he died) plus my 60th birthday pendant that he bought me and a moonstone that I bought myself. They come off if they get tangled, or for operations, but not otherwise.

Have only a wedding ring, it stays on. Csikiedit has various rings and studs which stay, any necklaces or similar are removed.

Don't have any, not even a watch, so don't bother coming to rob me, especially at night as the only thing I value highly & wear proudly are my crown Jewels. 😛

Necklace off, three rings off, earrings out. I keep on my fitness watch and four bracelets.

Earrings, wedding ring and eternity ring stay on, any other jewellery that I might have worn that day, taken off.

My wedding ring, engagement ring and a band with my cats ashes in. Also keep my small sleeper hoops in (because they are so fiddly to remove). I also have a cuff bangle that I’ve hardly taken off in 6 years. Even worn it swimming and it’s coped fine, although they don’t recommend that. I don’t think it’s sterling silver, but it’s not tarnished either.

Similar to others really, Earring Studs, unless they are out for cleaning; wedding band (remove other rings) and my smart watch to track my sleep/breathing.

Earings possibly come out at night but rings & necklaces never 😉

The only jewellery I wear everyday are my wedding, engagement and eternity rings which I don't take off at night. If I wear any other rings, watch, bracelets or necklaces (not very often) I take them off at night.

No jewellery overnight...

I've worn a signet ring since I was 18 & it has never come off, in fact it probably couldn't come off now because my knuckle is too big.

My first wedding ring got crushed between two rollers & I had to use a vice to get it off my finger a few months after getting married We kept it but I can't remember where it is anymore.

My second went missing about twenty years ago. I got a rash under it & took it off & left it on the mantlepiece until the rash cleared up. When I went to put it back on, it wasn't there. We think that our cat had knocked it off & it went into the waste bin which got emptied into the dustbin the previous week. I haven't worn one since.

No, I wear a watch and usually several necklaces and sometimes bracelets but they all come off at night. I don't wear earrings.

Yes, rings and watch.

We both only wear our wedding rings in bed

Yes, earrings and bracelets.

I keep my Chain on and my Earrings & Belly button piercing

Wear earrings overnight, they're only studs.

I only wear a watch and a wedding ring. both come off at night.

Oh, and clothes. I wear those as well.

Only rings

Yes I keep my rings and earrings on, they're not sharp or too big/dangling

Think I'd take jewellery off if were delicate though
