Mine has emojis 🤷‍♀️? They're the ones on my phone though, not from the forum

Thompson and Morgan do Kalettes - £3.49 a packet (they are good for seeds, bad for plug plants, by the way). Here's a link

Thank you 😊

I’m a wee bit fed up ….

January went quite well, kept inside my spending budget and managed to save some monies.

otoh, in February so far:
- Huge increase in our gas and electric DD - extra £57 per month 
- My bras have become seriously painful, to the point that the left over nerve pain was waking me at night - new bras - £79
- My laptop power supply or some such is dying and my laptop seems to have no power. It keeps switching off. I tried buying a new power supply / adaptor but no, just the same. IT guru-friend is coming to look at it on Wednesday night - I suspect it will need a new battery or some kind of control board - if it can be fixed  

Sigh ….

I had a similar thing with my phone no longer charging while staying in Scotland and rushed into the phone shop in the nearest town. Out came a pin tool which they use to swap sim cards and it was used to pick a bit of fluff out of the charger port on the phone where it was acting as a protective layer stopping the contacts being made for it to charge. I wonder if you might have something similar in your laptop

This is definitely a thing. Especially with the fruit type devices so worth trying

I have a problem with my fitbit regularly.  I have dry skin & it gathers round the connections & if it isn't the dry skin its the cream I use.  A wet thumb usually sorts it.

And .... I've now had a phone call from my previous employer to tell me that they have overpaid my salary by c. £1K and want it back!

Sigh .....
