To the right on this page I have a “Crinkly, Crepey Skin?” advert.

I wonder if I have been specially selected for this? Off to the bathroom to have a look in the mirror……

What adverts are you being targeted with?

Private earwax removal.

Weighted blankets.

‘Miracle’ knee brace available on the NHS - ever since I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis and had treatment for a swollen knee joint. How do they know ? I have a suspicion that Alexa is spying on me !!

Well if you have Esspee that makes two of us, I've also had the one for "Crinkly, Crepey Skin" on legs, still it makes me grateful when I see the pictures that I haven't got any.

Sandals All Inclusive holidays. My worst holiday nightmare!

They were spying on you long before Alexa came along.

Funeral plans.

Tree surgeons in Hampshire. I don’t even live in Hampshire!

I hate those funeral plans - so depressing

Joymitty up to 50% off sale. I wouldn't buy from them though.

And an advert from ABM digital marketing and sales funnel automation 8 week bootcamp. What on earth is that?

FannyCornforth Wed 09-Feb-22 13:13:42

Yes. I get the crepey skin thing.
At least I have not had this dog for a few days…

Made to measure blinds now.

I keep seeing an advert with a hugely pregnant belly on! Not even sure what it was for. Made me dream I was pregnant last night! Also one for Victorian plumbing. I'm sure there's a joke there somewhere, I just can't find it! smile

I get the crepey skin one too. And now I have a no win no fee lawyers’ ad. Possibly because I mentioned to someone just now I was a solicitor?

grandma60 Wed 09-Feb-22 14:03:31

Softcat Microsoft surface plus, whatever that is

BlueBelle Wed 09-Feb-22 14:07:17

I haven’t got the crepey skin one
I seem to have some kids doing handstands

Victoria plumbing and made to measure blinds are down to me then shazzaKanazzagrin
Now all we have to do is find the culprit who bought anti wrinkle cream!

I dislike the ads for earwax that show a lump of extracted wax - makes me feel sick!

Esspee Wed 09-Feb-22 15:14:20

I’m now getting a Nick Faldo ad. Might be because OH told me he is off to the golf course for a walk. Hate to think our every conversation may be listened to.
The creepy skin one is still making me paranoid. Are “they” watching as well as listening?

Aveline Wed 09-Feb-22 15:56:24

Transcranial depression therapy advert on my GN page. confused. I was feeling pretty chirpy until I read that.

Chestnut Wed 09-Feb-22 16:07:45

I'm not getting any adverts at all since I started using Ad Blocker. They would be wasted on me anyway, I only buy what I want when I want it. Adverts just wash over me.

Germanshepherdsmum Wed 09-Feb-22 16:12:44

I’ve got the bl**dy weighted blanket ad now!?

moggiek Wed 09-Feb-22 16:17:11

I work in IT. My ads are always about the software/hardware that I use - at work!
