I think my name has come up in the National Email Lottery this week.
I have won the Junk Mail Jackpot.
It’s fairly true to say that we all get a lot of rubbish in our inbox. Mine tends to go straight to trash. I’m sure yours does too.
Several have caught my eye this week though.
Some for their uncanny accuracy, others not so much.
Here’s what is on offer for me this week.
Jobs for Nicola
Who knew! This is synchronicity at its best. I did not sign up to ANY of these sites.
This is what they have in mind for me though :
Airline Assistant
What sort of assistance exactly? Would that be in the air or on the ground I wonder?
Maybe my reverse parking skills are in demand!
Or perhaps I’ve been spotted waving table tennis bats in the air like a pro?
Put me forward for this one.
Part-time Packer
What a joke! When I pack, I really pack. There is nothing part-time about it. Anyone that knows me well will know that this is my Achilles Heel.
I have been known to spend inordinate amounts of time packing and preparing to pack. This is not normal, I will be the first to admit.
You will not want me on your team. Trust me.
Jobs at Pets at Home
I can only imagine word has spread about my spectacular rabbit handling skills.
Now I’m worried.
Saga Home Insurance
There comes a time in our lives when we start to receive these mailshots.
I do not know the precise point of qualification.
Whatever that may be it is wrong.
Wrong! Wrong! Wrong!
I DO NOT qualify. Even if I did, I’m highly unlikely to buy anything EVER from something with Saga branding or any age related product.
Institute of Anti-Ageing
On the basis that I’m not saving any money on my home insurance, I’m pretty unlikely to be able to afford anything like this.
Neither will I be able to attend the Institute to find out how because it’s highly likely I’ll be touching my aircraft down somewhere (see above).
Questions About Pensions?
I have loads. How long have you got?
Thought so!
Interesting though isn’t it.
As I say, this is not something I take seriously and would normally hit the delete button without a second glance.
Has anything interesting turned up in your junk this week?
Something completely unsolicited that has perhaps made you giggle?
Perhaps that something has been particularly spot on for some bizarre reason.
Do share!!

Oh I rarely get any interesting post odd or otherwise in my mailbox. Im quite jealous of your selection now x
Be careful what you wish for Mrs AD! You could always be my co-Pilot if you like the sound of it?
Eek, Ive never been in a plane, and cant drive a car. Are you sure you would want me?
You’d be fine in a plane with me driving!
I’ve just had the usual offers of millions of dollars from a Nigerian prince… all I have to do is email my full bank details. Onto it!
#abitofeverything
Oooh you will have to let us now how you spend your millions!! Lucky you eh. Thanks for commenting.
One of my email accounts gets hilarious junk mail because when I initially registered it (I think I was 16 at the time) I wrote that my name was James Bond. Well, someone out there thinks Mr Bond needs quite a lot of help with the ladies. Lucky there are always many more offering their company. You should definitely apply for the airline assistant position. Could be a game changer 🙂 #abitofeverything
Ooh I can imagine there was no shortage of Mrs Bond’s!!! Speed dial 007! Maybe you’re right, I should give this airline thing a go. ‘This is your Captain speaking, we are now flying at …..’ Thank you for commenting. Great to hear from you x
Since I turned the big 50, I have received heaps of ‘plan for your funeral’ e-mails, not what you want to see every day when you’re trying to convince yourself that life begins at 50!
I’ve had them too Helen!!!! Where oh where is this database with our details!! Those plan your funeral ones almost make it sound like it’s a party don’t they. Life is going to begin at fifty as far as I’m concerned in the same way it began at 40!! Thanks for commenting.
Oh yeah I get loads of these – particulary to hotmail addresses! The older the account the worse I find. At least there not rude emails – where I used to work we all used to get ones about Viagra lol #MMWBH
They probably think I’m too old for rude ones!! I used to get a lot the Viagra ones at work too. It was always amusing to see them in the inboxes of the elderly male bosses too! Thanks for commenting.
A nice Nigerian man offered me lots of money …! Very generous of him. But I declined.
Tempting ha!!
The only thing in my junk mail these days are posts about Viagra!! I must get ten a day!! #MMWBH
I’m sure someone, somewhere is a having a jolly nice time with their Viagra! Makes you wonder how much take up these things get doesn’t it. Thanks for commenting.
Hahahah I’m sure they are!!! 😂😂😂
LOL…They can be funny sometimes. I usually don’t real my junk emails but I do get spam comments and my favourite would be “I don’t care about this but I want to tell you how to make $$$…” REALLY?? Thanks for sharing with #abitofeverything
Oh we’d be rich wouldn’t we!
Great post and for me, the viagra posts sneak in every now and then! LOL! Thanks so much for linking up with #MadMidWeek
The cheek of it! Thank you for hosting
