Thursday 19th July
Bought two more tickets online for Saturday's main Lotto rollover draw.
Sunday 8th July
Got a subscription renewal reminder e-mail from Camelot, but when I tried to renew it, it told me that 104 weeks would be beyond the end of Camelot's licence period! No problem, I'll edit it down the maximum length they'll allow (52 weeks) and re-submit it. Nope, that doesn't work either (it forced it back to 104 weeks for no reason at all), so I've e-mailed a complaint to Camelot about it.
The eventual workaround was to start a second subscription manually from scratch rather than clicking on the "renew subscription" link they have on the site. That got me a 52 week subscription costing £208 and all is sweetness and light again...er, except that I just spotted that Camelot charge 5p a minute for their 0845 numbers (BT says it should be 4p a minute, which is still more than I thought - they used to be "local call rate" a while back, but no longer I guess)!
