Howard, a 63-year-old civil servant from Bournemouth, has won £1,176.75 on the free online lottery, Pick My Postcode.
Howard has been a member of Pick My Postcode since 2015, after checking most days and steadily building his bonus of £1,076.75, his postcode was finally picked. At the time of his win, Howard was on holiday in South Africa, primarily to visit his 96-year-old aunt, a trip he had been unable to make since before the pandemic due to being a carer for his ill mother who sadly passed away before Christmas. He explained that the day of his win had been particularly stressful, describing it as a “ghastly afternoon” after his hire car was broken into and wallet stolen. His cards were used by the thief 25 times in under 3 minutes before he tried to cancel them. Only after hours of dealing with banks on the phone, he remembered to check Pick My Postcode, and couldn’t believe what he saw.
Howard described the win as “not life-changing, but very welcome” after such a difficult day, especially following an already emotional period in his life. And when asked how he plans to spend his winnings, Howard said: “I’ll be coming back to Cape Town to visit my aunt again.”
Howard admits he checked Pick My Postcode pretty much every day: “It’s worth persevering, building your bonus and checking daily! Despite 1.8 million postcodes and some skepticism that you’ll ever win, I did!”
The site offers multiple opportunities for your postcode to be picked every single day. Pick My Postcode has 2,572 active members in Dorset and since 2011, the residents have won a total of £20,196.28.

Four men and one woman, all Catholics, are having coffee in St. Peter’s Square in Rome.
The first man says to his friends: “My son is a priest. When he enters a room, everyone says, ‘Father.’”
The second whispers: “My son is a bishop. When he enters a room, people say, ‘Your Excellency.’”
The third replies: “My son is a cardinal. When he enters a room, everyone bows and says, ‘Your Eminence.’”
The fourth declares, in a firm tone: “My son is the Pope. When he enters a room, people call him ‘Your Holiness!’”
The Catholic woman has been sipping her coffee in silence… The four men ask her ironically, “And you?” She answers with a subtle smile: “I have a daughter—slim, tall… 95 cm bust, 60 cm waist, 90 cm hips. And when she enters a place, men say, ‘My God!’” 😄

Many people are in the same situation, Hurricane. I don't think it's so much that they don't care, but life gets in the way. I know that I often think, "I haven't phoned so and so for ages, then promptly forget again, then feel guilty. Your family should make time for you, but have you told them that you're lonely, and miss them? We often put on a brave independent face to the world. I know that I'm always being told, "Why didn't you tell us, instead of struggling to do it yourself?" Sometimes we just need to acknowledge that we're getting old, and need help. Tell your family that you miss them.

😀 I (just about) remember when I had similar measurements. In the 50s most of us were slim, because we walked or cycled everywhere. Housework was hard physical labour that kept us very fit.

Surveys have been extremely thin on the ground to non-existent for me since before Christmas - well, ones that I’m suitable for or don’t have an issue with me, that is!
No matter what time of day or evening I try, I get the message that I’ve finished all my surveys for today or on the bonus page that they had an issue with my answers or I wasn’t suitable.
Strangely as it may seem, I quite enjoy doing the surveys and really consider my answers; maybe I’ve been too candid and really have got nothing left to say? 🤔 😉

I feel your pain, Cakey. I was galloping up the leaderboard for a while, and overtook Shyboy. For the last few weeks I've had virtually nothing except my 3p a day. Shyboy is now more than £50 ahead of me, and 2 others have also passed me. I know it's only a bit of fun, Barrie, but I feel a bit like one of the Grand National horses that's struggling to get over the jumps at the rear of the field 🥹

Women wanted equal rights in the 60s but had a nasty shock when they also had to work to 65. That's with no reference to the WASPI claims, just that I do think it fair that women should work the same as men, and should get treated equally - as long as they are doing an equal job. My husband was relieved he didn't have women on the ships when he was in the Navy - he said however good they were at gunnery, radar etc if the ship got hit, they would not be strong enough to carry out damage control works that men do - and the men shouldn't be on the same pay if they were doing more.

Interesting viewpoint. But what about women? Do they also have to have a backbone?
When you say full circle, do you mean back to the days when everyone could insult everyone without thought? Back to the days when women couldn’t vote as they were considered a separate species? Just a thought. 😌

Let's hope it goes full circle (oh dear, that sounds like a fat person), and people get a backbone again. I for one have a backbone, although admittedly it's probably not noticeable under all the fat. I was brought up with "sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me". Now men pretend to be men when it suits them but then cry if someone says a bad word.

I was watching an old movie last night and realised that Audrey Hepburn was thinner than Mrs B. Yet nobody mocks her or writes rude and derogatory "jokes" about her. Odd?
Personally I don't like jokes that combine vulgarity with mockery of a real person. I've got that from my parents who say there's always a line that many people enjoy crossing. Trump is a good example.

Today I did the opposite of shoplifting, I suppose you could call it shopgifting. I ordered 4 books and one arrived followed by an email that said my order was complete. I had a phone conversation (how nice to have humans to speak to) with a lady who said she would send the missing books. A few days later they arrived, followed a week later by another parcel. There was no obvious returns procedure so I decided to take them to one of the company's physical stores next time I was visiting. I thought it might be difficult explaining what had happened especially as there was no paperwork in either parcel but the assistant took them off me and I now have a clear conscience.

When I was about 8 or 9 my mate, whose family were ‘a bit rough’ as mum said, nicked some sweets from the local sweet shop, and dared me to do it too. Reluctantly, being ‘a good girl’ I took a 1d gobstopper, and felt guilty about it every time I went past for the next 15 years. One day, in the shop with my husband, I paid for some sweets and accidentally dropped 20p among the shelves. I felt karma was finally appeased when I told the shopkeeper not to worry, just keep it when he got to it.
Anyone else finally atoned for a sin?

There are still a few honest people left in the world!
A lady I know had a nephew who, sadly, had got into trouble with the law and ended up in prison. She enquired if it was permissible to send him some books, and ordered about a dozen to be delivered to him. They still hadn't arrived about a month later, so she contacted the Company and they said they would send a second batch. Eventually he received his parcel, followed a few weeks later by a duplicate. The prison must, obviously, check any deliveries and had been very slow in doing so. My friend explained the situation to the book store, and they agreed that it would be impossible to retrieve them. She offered to pay for them, but was told to let her nephew donate them to the prison library.
