I have been bombarded with mail and advertising for wedding bouquets/hats/beauty treatments ever since I started browsing for stuff for DS2s wedding.

Hmm! when I sign into my email account I get a dating site 'pop-up' asking me to tick the age of the guy I would like to meet!

What do you tick?

It is all Google's fault. I think you can stop it somehow. I shall have a look online and find out how.

Right, if you are using Firefox (as I do), then in the Tools menu, choosing "options" gives you a chance under the "privacy" tab to tick "tell websites I do not wish to be tracked" and on the same tab you can delete your cookies, which are probably causing a lot of the unwanted ads.

On the "content" tab you can block pop-up windows, too. If there are no pop-up windows, no-one can pop an advert up.

There is also a "start private browsing " option on the "tools" menu, but I have not used that so am not sure how it works.

In Internet Explorer the "options"menu has similar choices, which I am not familiar with, but they probably do much the same things.

jeni as young as I dare but they don't specify how good their eyesight is!

You don't want em too young. You need some experience!

I am not much of a daredevil!

Go for it!
