It's getting hot out there.
Feeling dizzy, weak or very thirsty are signs of heat exhaustion - move to somewhere cooler and hydrate.
High temperature, confusion, seizures or no sweating could be heatstroke - call 999, place them in the recovery position, try to cool them down.

Martyn & Dinah quit smoking together.

Now retired, they needed to shift their mindset from saving to a sustainable spending plan. With their smoking habit costing over £100 a week they felt this was unsustainable.
