I get a minimum of 100 every day. I mean, it isnt so bad because normally they go straight into my junk mail folder and I just click 'Empty' once in awhile. But today there were some in my Inbox too and that really annoys me

You must be giving that e-mail out when you sign up for things.
I get very little spam. I have a gradation from very public to very private e-mails.
I try to avoid signing up for things if I can and only with my very public addresses if I have to.
So something is very different.

No this is my private email. I have another address which I give out for signing up to things.

Well the other explanation might be that at some point viruses got hold of your e-mail address.
