    I would really struggle with all that noise... I hope they are soon gone.

    For a moment I thought 'Oh no! they could do without getting a superbug!'. Then I read it properly.


    Me too!  (Whoops too short).  I do miss the ROFL emojo.

    Forgot to say, as the 6 month regular saver matures on 5 February have asked them to reinvest £200 into a new 6 month regular saver and send the balance to the current account. So another thing sorted. 

    Have also signed up to a free YT 30 day 10 minute yoga challenge that starts tomorrow (Sarah Beth Yoga). I’ve just received my printable calendar. As I’ve mentioned many times before I need to get back into yoga/Pilates.

    Thank you - I am going to investigate as we have a small one in the village.

    I’m also trying to envisage stretchy plastics!!!

    Bread bags, frozen food bags, those sorts of plastic that have a bit of 'give' to them.

    That workman definitely had Mr SA sussed.  Mind you he was probably worried about the aggro he would get if Mr SA's "personal vehicle" went into the hole.

    I am unfortunately now hooked on The Masked Singer too much to Mr ES disgust who is not a fan.  It is as you say addictive.
