If I win it, you would be welcome to it (since I was entered without being asked), but I think the T & C will say the prize is non-transferable and that there is no cash alternative.
Awesome! Please do win then!
That's what I thought - I was entered without even being asked. Am not happy about my detail being passed about to other companies either. If I read the fine print, I wouldn't have done it.

One day on the train, this young man offered me his seat because he thought I was pregnant. I didn't know whether I was to laugh or cry.
I have had that one happen to me too, but in my younger days - one advantage of getting older!

My sister said to use that as a motivation factor to lose weight but seriously... nothing motivates me, I just don't know why!

October isn't going to be as fine as September but I have been out walking all day to make the most of the last of the current good weather - and my last free day for ages. Pleased to try a new tea room; displeased to find tea not available in pots - grr! Still, they got some business from me as I b*ght cake to have when I got home instead.

Evenin' all... I wish I had the time just now to read what everyone is doing and find out who has won comps and how folks are getting on, but unfortunately I have to be up really early, plus I'm a bit ill (sniffle) so I need to go to bed now. Just had to pop in though, as I have some exciting news- since being in France, I have two more free films to add to my tally! I didn't even have to go looking, it seems that free films found me in the form of an old man who lives in my building and who had spare tickets for two free films at a film festival near here! They were film noirs, one was in French and was a 'satirique' I really didn't understand anything that was going on but it was still funny and interesting to watch, the other was in English, an old black and white film which was very good also. Hope everyone is doing well and next time I pop by hopefully I have time to stop and read a bit more about everyone's British free film experiences!

I wish someone would invent self-cleaning boots. And self-waxing, while they're at it. If they can do it for ovens...

Have you found it yet? It's options --> Mail Options ---> Account Information (sign in again) ---> it shows the account info tab and you should see "Change Password" somewhere in the middle of that page under "Sign In and Security".
Mind you, I'm using the classic version of yahoo.
I found that a spam email had gone out from my account so changed my password, now read the below, maybe that's what was happening to my account?

Well it's not walking-in-the-park-weather today: both today and yesterday have been wet and windy in Surrey. But I don't mind, since I've been stuck indoors - I hate looking out when it's a nice day and wishing I could get out and enjoy it. If it has to rain, let it be when I'm working!
