Talk to you all soon!

yes i tried to pay for my shopping with my mobile today twice, I also walked to the atm and wondered what i was doing there, and i searched through my back for my card i had taken out and put in my pocket already. This is a often thing in my world lol but i think it is definatly PTC maybe even VP shunt related

So so glad to hear you are doing well.
