    Good that an appointment has been sorted for Mr SA to address falls etc.  The last think you need is for you to be injured trying to get him up.  No snow here.  We did an 8 mile lovely sunny walk today over the fields and round the coast with my U3a walking group.

    OBL not sure if you know anyone with a c@stc@ card. Both myself and ds bought a Gormia air fryer from there. £42 when we bought  them and they’re brilliant. We both use them a lot.I’d previously bought a tower one but it wasn’t really big enough so we take that in the motorhome with us.


    We have that Gormia one too - it is massive over 7 litre capacity.  Have seen smaller capacity airfryers starting around £20 in the discount shops.  Also a couple around £15 at local chazza.

    We have a Philip's air fryer that we have had for years now. It's at least six years. It is brilliant and we use it most days.

    In fairness it is probably getting ready for replacing. It's getting difficult to clean now but we can't fault it and would certainly look to get another Philips one.

    Very discombobulating when things happen on the wrong day - but at least it's 'bought' you an NSD in the future.

    I thought I'd booked myself into the hairdressers today but turns out to be February - may need a hat by then!
    Btw in case anyone is interested the YBS Christmas Regular Saver has opened - 6% but can only deposit £150/month this year 
    Thanks for this - just opened mine. It wasn't showing on my app so I opened it online.
