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 Winkabloo 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.

Hello everyone and welcome back to the studio, and also I guess the show I'm John Eroland.

This is the damage report, and we are back, I am COVID negative, which makes me the only person in America without COVID.

I'm number one.

So that unfortunately means that my co-host is probably COVID positive.

Francesca, fear and teeny, how are you feeling?

Oh no, no, no, I wish I was COVID positive, because that means you do things, you go out.

You see the world, you've got friends, you take risks, you live life, you love.

But instead I hunger, I work, I read, I fail to sleep, and I'm COVID negative, what did what cost?

I will cost.

The only cool disease you've managed to get is cabin fever.

Yeah.

Well anyway, no, I'm totally joking, she's clean.

So thank you all for sticking with us during what felt like three months that we were at home.

I think it was three weeks, the holidays and then the COVID thing, and it'll probably happen again soon.

So I will at some point figure out a better camera and lighting situation for the home studio.
