Spiralizer/Zoodle recipes
Has anyone got any good recipes for spiralized vegetables? I bought a zoodle chef a few months ago and have so far only spiralized courgettes to use in place of pasta and cucumbers to add to salad. I can't think of any other vegetables that are either round enough or soft enough to use, would aubergines work? Carrots would…

Syringoma treatment
Hi! A few years ago I was diagnosed with syringoma (small lumps around the eyes), but the gp said that any treatment would have to be done privately because it was cosmetic. I didn't have the money at the time so I didn't follow it up, but I would really like to do something now. I've been looking on the internet, but the…

Mooncups
Sorry if this is a bit grim :o Does anyone use a mooncup? If so, do you rate them? Just wondering whether I should invest in one. I am interested in them for their greener properties and convenience. Having read up on them, I understand that they sit lower than tampons... can anyone vouch for their comfort with this in…

Thick, good quality (not see through!) ladies WHITE tops. Where oh where to buy?!
I'm perplexed. Whenever I go on a hunt for ladies plain white tops (either long sleeved, or sleeveless - scoop neck or boatneck, just good basics for work), the tops are always too thin. What I mean by thin is that I can see the flesh toned tinge of my skin underneath the garment (and usually my bra!) :eek: not a good…

Still waiting for taste of soap to go from my mouth
First time I've had this and it started a few days ago. I've been waiting it out for it to go, but it hasn't yet... Checked out re cause and found that fluoride seems to be most likely cause (its not that - as I don't use fluoride in my toothpaste) and dental health problems (not likely - as my last check-up was a few…

Question about SimplyHealth Cash Plan - Child Benefits
Am thinking of taking a SimplyHealth Cash Plan for my wife and children (I am already covered by BUPA through work). It costs just £11.50pm, less £26.25 cashback on TCB and a £35 M&S voucher. So total annual cost of £76.75. Now this would easily be spent on dental and opticians checkups, never mind if extra dental…

So I just wanted to get some people's opinions. I went to the dentist about a week ago with general toothache on the right hand side of my mouth,…
