Hi All, can i ask is anyone finding January 2026 a lot quieter than previous Januarys or if im an anomaly. I kind of know the pattern things slow down towards the end of November and pick back up as soon as January kicks in. (That is how it has been over the last 10 years) however this year it slowed down as normal in November (non Christmas/gift related items) but it hasn't picked up, infact so far in January it seems slower than it did in December which is really strange. My only thoughts are the cost of living is really hitting hard now apposed to previous years (taking into account the extension in a lot of peoples pay days - 6 weeks) or something else is up which i have no clue. thank you
