This is not a rant more of a plea to stay home don't go anywhere unless for essential travel and everyone knows what that is and sorry buying items from Facebook or neighborly is not classed as essential
Think of what the parents and the family of the boy or girl are going thru in this horrible and uncertain time

Lockdown and birthdays are two words that do not go well together.
Children love celebrating their birthday but with social distancing and bubbles birthday parties are no go under lockdown.
When Emery Maclean​ set out on her morning lockdown walk with mum Abby Vogel​ and big sister Avah​ she quickly realised this one was extra special.
Within minutes the 4-year-old spotted a collection of balloons tied to a gate – and the shocked girl was told by her mum they were for her birthday.
It is lovely to see neighbours pitching in to help the youngster. If you have a birthday or a especial anniversary (wedding, 21st etc), have you thought about how you are going to celebrate it?

It is also a fantastic time for those of you working from home to check in on your set-ups, and make sure you are doing everything you can to limit the postural stressors on spine. Check out our video below from lockdown last year to remind yourself on how to set-up a spine-friendly workstation at home!

We love seeing our apprentices making waves in the industry.
Wade Peek was recently named Plastics Apprentice of the Year, is definitely one to watch. With two qualifications under his belt, he’s been earmarked as a future plastics industry leader.

He hopes to one day start his own manufacturing business and says: "I really want to pass on what I have learnt to support apprentices in their training. I also want to be able to teach people outside of the plastics industry about what we do, as I truly believe we can't solve any of the really important environmental issues that surround plastic unless as many people as possible understand it."
