The other day I got an email (quoted below). And I have been anxiously
checking my inbox and letterbox ever since! I had intended posting here
when I got the shortlist and asking for your opinions. But, as that has
not arrived, I can't wait any longer. So - given this list, which would
you choose?

TravelPilot Lucca 3.5 Edition
Exxcel Dishwasher
Logixx Washing Machine
Rotak37-Ll cordless Lawnmower
money towards an Easy Series Home Security System
Professional Hammer Drill (picture shows new 36V GSB or GSR Li model)
Bosch Car Service Vouchers
DIY multi-function Powertool

(I *know* it will end up as money towards a security system I don't want
- and would have to pay lots of additional money to get installed. If we
didn't have a lawn it would be the lawnmower. Or maybe some multipurpose
drills, if I am really lucky? :-( )

Hypothyroidism is a seriously debilitating condition with an insidious
onset.
Although common it frequently goes undiagnosed.

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember Rod saying
something like:

"It's a scam, it's always a scam"

Or promo, which is the same thing in this case.

I know a scam is a possibility - but it did come from a sensible source,
and that list is much as it appears on the Bosch site and I did enter
the draw in the right month... :-)

OK - promo - of course it is. And the ones who don't win are, well, they
don't win - so any time spent entering is wasted - but still benefits
the company. But, with a bit of luck, I might get *something* out of them.

Well, at least the list doesn't include a holiday in Florida...
Then you'd know it was a scam ;-)

Oh yes, there are some people in the country who will get a drill or
barbeque or whatever else, but only one of each will go out.
The rest - thousands; will 'win' money off their holiday /timeshare
/whatever.

I despise these grubby *******s and their shoddy methods.

sometime soon... :-)
