Very nice of EE to throw in a free screen protector and case with my phone. Would have been even better if they’d told me they were going to do that so I didn’t buy one in my way to pick my phone up 🤦🏻‍♀️

Turns out cats can’t play jenga. Much to the disappointment of my son and (according to him) our cat.
