Hi,

I am new to ubuntu-budgie (not new to ubuntu linux).  
Since today I am no longer able to add applets. I did install some this weekend, but today I got an error.

I get the following error:

```auto

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

I am using the following versions:

```auto

  - ubuntu-budgie-welcome.budgie-discourse
  - ubuntu-budgie-welcome.budgie-themes
  - ubuntu-budgie-welcome.budgie-welcome

```

I also tried the 0.10.2 version with the same results!

my ubuntu version is:

```auto
$ lsb_release -a 
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID:	Ubuntu
Description:	Ubuntu 19.10
Release:	19.10
Codename:	eoan

```

I am not sure what to do next.

Yeah - my bad. Fixed.

```
snap refresh

```

This should refresh with v0.10.3
