Episode 65<\/strong>: A Christmas Message <\/strong><\/h3>\n

No real advice this week, other than that you should take the day off!<\/p>\n

(Please note that this episode was recorded at a time when both the Keegans and the Boswells had expected to be getting together with select members of their respective families. However, when this episode was released on Christmas Day, both were in a full lock-down and their Christmas’s will be somewhat scaled back – and definitely within all current regulations!)<\/h3>\n

Keep safe, healthy and Merry Christmas. <\/p>\n
