Morning everybody, welcome along to your free podcast for today.

Tis Friday the 4th of February.

Can't believe it's Friday already.

I told you we're going to race through this month.

We really, there is no doubt in my mind that the days get shorter.

And we go from one year to the next and you sort of think to yourself, where did that, where did that time go? It only seems like a short

while ago we were hanging our balls up on the Christmas tree and sort of getting the lights ready

and everything else. Then that finishes and then all of a sudden we're into, oh, the Easter eggs

are on sale and then we go, oh, isn't it great? We're going to have some snow and they go, oh, I hope not. I mean, now I've decided I think we just want summer.

I don't really need anything. I'm going to go and treat myself today. My treat for this month

is I'm going, because I normally have two duvays. Not for any particular reason, apart from, I use one and the other ones in the dry cleaners, because it's best to get them dry cleaned every so often.

And at the moment I'm using and have been for some years, ever since Nick Ferrari bought one, a Siberian goose.

They're not cheap. They're not cheap. They're like 300 pound for a duvet Siberian goose.

And so I shall probably go back to John Lewis and get one in there.

Pillows I have hard pillows which you sink in and they mould to the shape of your

yeah it's like a memory foam type thing and of course I wake up and I look at it and I think do I really look like that apparently so

so I'm going to go treat myself to a duvet then the duve got at the moment take it out of the cover up and I look at it and think, do I really look like that? Apparently so. So I'm going to go and treat myself to a duvet.

Then the duve got at the moment, take it out of the cover,

and then I'll send that to the dry cleaners.

And I've always got a spare.
