Thanks to all my clients, referrers and everybody who has provided me with work for 2025. I'm now taking booking for 2026. If you have a project with a start date of Q1 2026, then feel free to drop me a message.

Went to the #Boots online pharmacy to reorder my repeat prescriptions, was given the choice to refuse adverts, did, used the NHS log in, chose my repeat items and then the page just continually loops until i get a message saying they have blocked my ip address. The site uses React…
