When you’ve finished with your advent calendar, don’t forget to separate the cardboard from the inner tray before recycling it. The outer cardboard packaging can be recycled, but the inner tray goes in the general rubbish. More tips here 👇 walesrecycles.org.uk/news-and-campa

Most coughs are caused by a cold or flu and will usually clear up on their own within 3 to 4 weeks. There's usually no need to see a GP but to help get better you should rest and drink plenty of fluids. Find more information on coughs at 111.wales.nhs.uk

Out for a few 🍻? Leave the car home. Drink and drug driving costs lives so: 🚗 Never accept a lift from someone who’s been drinking/ taking drugs. 🚕 Suspect someone is driving under the influence? Report it. 🚙 You could still be over the limit the next day. #TisTheReason
