Default Saving tomato seeds

I've grown thee tomato plants in a gro-bag away from other varieties in

Any tips on harvesting and saving the seeds, please? Specifically how to
dry them without them all sticking together?

Get a pair of tweezers and lay the seed out on a sheet of kitchen paper.
When you come to sow them then just cut the paper up. You don't even
need to separate the seed from the paper.
