Hi, it's Natty here from Growing Up with Gaudem, where we invite friends of Gaudem to respond to old diary entries, text messages or letters from their younger selves.

Our series is currently being sponsored by Dyson Hair Care Technology.

The festive season has arrived. That means it's time to start thinking about gifts for your loved ones, and perhaps treats for yourself.

Enter Dyson Hair Care Technology, the styling tools made to protect your hair against heat damage.

This year they are in a new special gift edition in Winkablu and Rose Colorway.

You can shop the full Dyson Hair Care range, including the new special gift editions,

direct from the people who made it at Dyson.co.uk.

Anyway, I know from the pre-show that some members of the audience probably watching right now

are experiencing COVID, so obviously our thoughts go out to you.
