I have ordered the plastic card and have promised myself if I keep it up I will get one of the wrist bands

Very pro Jay!

All I've got is a piece of paper, stuck to a piece of card, stuck in a small plastic bag then shoved in my bra 😂😂

The adjustable ones are the business.👍

The previous design, stretch pull on type OK. But.

The advice on measuring incorrect.

Ended up with extra small size.🙈

Just knew, but stuck with the advice.🙈

So tight no blood flow to my hand.🤔😂😂

Just as well we do not run on all fours.🤔😂😂

The little plastic cards are good to either put on your shoe lace, ( there is a hole for the lace), or can pin to your top. Great for youngsters and really easy when I have been volunteer scanner.

Ashamed to say I bought some of those too! The bar code on the wristband looks totally different to the one on the cards 😳

Phew.... Otherwise it'd be a cue for the obvious "I've never seen one that small/old" jokes....
