  • With regards to people visiting with colds. If I had a cold then I'd ask first if they still wanted me to come over. I'm more than happy for people to come over to me if they have a cold as I have a good immune system and get one cold a year at worst, and that's normally just a couple of days of sniffling. However I appreciate that many people are more vulnerable so I would check first.

    Thanks to OPs on grabbit if anyone was interested in getting the M&S Beauty Calendar for £35 if you spend £35 it is working on the full price so if things are already discounted or on 342 you can get it for spending less.

    It might be worth checking Sainsburys - the haircare accessory section in the middle of the shampoo aisle has numerous red RTC labels from about 20p upwards - useful things like silver hair grips and hair clips - very useful for stocking fillers or party goodie bags or Christmas shoe boxes or if you make your own Christmas crackers. Or Christmas tombolas

    I took a photo of the stand to send to my local friend and then my phone did a sudden death so I don't know if the message got through :)
