Hi, I'm Tom Allen from the podcast Pottering, and this week we're sponsored by the M&S credit card.

Now, if you've listened to this podcast for any length of time, you'll know I do have a bit of a

soft spot for Marks and Spencer. I can go in, get something delicious for dinner, perhaps a new pair of

trousers, and treat myself to a new plant. Well, that really is my idea of a wonderful

day out. If you love M&S, as much as I do, I have some great news because they relaunch their

loyalty program, Sparks. So now every time you shop, you can earn money into your digital Sparks

wallet to buy the things you love at M&S.

And if you take out an M&S credit card as a Sparks member,

you can supercharge your Sparks rewards.

That means when your MNS credit card is linked to Sparks,

you'll enjoy benefits like an anniversary discount and the best birthday treat.

So whether it's your weekly food shop,

some go-to picky bits for the weekend,

or perhaps that trench coat you've been eyeing up. With the M&S credit card, you'll have even more

ways to earn into your Sparks wallet. Discover the M&S credit card at marksonspenser.com.

So I went to see a respiratory nurse who sent me off for an x-ray at my local CDC, and they were offering Sunday appointments and evening appointments, which was great.

The government is opening new community diagnostic centres, with many already available 12 hours a day, seven days a week, so the NHS can be there for all of us when we need it.
