Where can I buy contact lense boxes individually?
I'm with specsavers at the moment and I'm trying to sort out contact lenses that I can just buy as and when I want. Specsavers say it's £22 or £18 a month depending on certain plans but you can't actually buy them that way, instead I have to pay for at-least two months at a time so double the cost. This seems to be the…

I've noticed bleeding after using it on a couple of occasions. Not actual blood, but there was a definite pinkish colour left on a bit of the floss. The…

I wanted to ask if anyone…

Ombudsman decisions and other options.
I'm not sure where to put this question but it's to do with the Public Services Ombudsman, so this seems the closest. I'm wondering whether the ombudsman's decision means that I cannot sue afterwards? I've been searching online but all I can find is stuff about the financial Ombudsman which doesn't seem relevant.
