Thanks, and reducing in general unfortunately @KajiKita, all my friends in freelance writing are saying the same- chatgpt has nicked so much work as people would rather have a shoddier website or promo material or explainer script than pay someone. We're the luddites of this era 😥
Cheers @Sun_Addict, they're probably waiting till you're retired so you'll more likely be in when Agent Million pops round
Excellent win for you too @dawnybabes, whatcha spending it on?
Very much so @redofromstart!https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6466032/an-in-between-phase/p1
