When can you declare an emergency over?
The 5p “emergency” petrol tax cut was introduced in March 2022, to offset a spike in prices

Newborn rhinos are extremely vulnerable. They need to be shielded from even the slightest chill, hence Chamboi's woollen, cherry red blanket. It was such a favourite when he first came into our care, that he flatly refused to wear anything else! Meet the rhinos currently in our care: t.co/CvOTGiQk8X

I'm consolidating two pensions into one at the same provider and I am so glad that the nice person I spoke to warned me that during the transfer process the big pension with all the money in it would disappear off the screen and I'd be looking at one pension with one month's contributions in it. 😅

Just a friendly reminder as we go into the holidays:
Folks don't have to explain to you why they don't drink.
If you offer them a drink and they decline, don't ask them why. It's not your business.
Just offer them something without alcohol to drink instead. And move on.
