    Thanks! Still don’t know why I get so many emails generally… need to get rid of some more. Surveys and kids stuff definitely doesn’t help.

    Also, there is a weird glitch in the Bay of e if anyone uses that. I unsubscribed to lots of emails from them (eg when my order is sent etc) and it doesn’t work.. you get the emails anyway!
