  • I don't know if any of you guys have heard but there is currently a LOT going down, with new rules coming out once a week and quite frankly we couldn't not get involved.


    So here is our LOCKDOWN LOWDOWN special where Helen and Beth give you their rules for Lockdown Life. Please bear in mind, that these are almost as loose as the Government rules and are much more to do with Sims that Social Distancing. And hey guess what!? What happens in Lockdown, stays in Lockdown. So we won't even know if you've been doing any of them either.


    Listen and enjoy!
