I said to another forum member on here a few weeks ago when they asked me what I predicted, what my feelings were about what was likely to happen in the year ahead that I thought 2025 would be the year of lots of tv soap related deaths .

Oh I decided years ago that I am going to be permanently 28 so older age won't touch me. !

I will sort soon! I'm terrible I know! I think luck and good judgement on your side this year. I think your lists are very balanced and smart.
