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.”

A couple in their home in County Kerry are listening to the radio, when the weather forecaster says "There's going to be a heavy fall of snow tonight, maybe 6 to 8 inches. Please can everybody park their cars on the odd numbered side of the road tonight so that the snow plough can get through?"
The wife (who just happens to be blonde, not sure why I mentioned that) dutifully goes out and moves their car to the odd numbered side of the road. And the snow plough gets through the snow the following morning without any incident.
The following night, the weather forecaster says "There's going to be an even heavier fall of snow tonight, maybe 10 to 12 inches. Please can everybody park their cars on the even numbered side of the road tonight so that the snow plough can get through?"
The wife (who just happens to be blonde, not sure why I mentioned that) dutifully goes out and moves their car to the even numbered side of the road. And the snow plough gets through the snow the following morning without any incident.
The following night, the weather forecaster says "There's going to be an absolute blizzard of snow tonight, maybe a couple of feet. Please can everybody park their cars...." and at that moment there is a power cut and the radio goes silent.
"Oh Fergus," says the blonde woman (and you can do the accent if you want, I'm not going to because it would be racist,) "Oh Fergus, how are we to know which side of the road they want us to park our cars so that the snow plough can get through?"
(You did the accent didn't you? Admit it!)
Fergus says "I don't know, my Darling, what with the power out and everything. I suppose we'll just have to leave the car in the garage until we hear anything."

My wife caught me sucking in my stomach while standing on the scale. ‘That’s not gonna help!’ she said laughing. Actually, it does, it’s the only way I can see the numbers.

Last year in one of my appointments at the hospital I was weighed in KG for the first time ever.

I've an old fashioned scale with the dial, which is really good for my self esteem as it goes past 20 stone and starts again.

Likewise, my friend, likewise.
If that doesn't work, try weighing one foot at a time and adding them together.

Invited to 15 min survey by WALR for £3 or 20p . Very long survey seemed never ending and took 45 mins and then right at end it says my responses don’t qualify !!!!
Surely they could make a decision sooner . Waste of time !!🤬😡

I did that one this evening and thought I'd be screened out straight away for 5p as the bonus was a generous £3. I got to the end and put in the feedback box that I would have preferred 3 separate topics as it was longer than usual surveys, but enjoyable. I got my £3 bonus.
