Power naps - how do you do it?
Now I've seen a few really great threads here about sleeping problems and ways to get a good night's kip - I'm lucky that sleep has never been an insurmountable problem for me, and I have my own ways of ensuring I routinely enjoy decent shut-eye. However, at 28 weeks pregnant I am starting to feel a bit washed out of an…

Anyone had a face lift or laser surgery? Come on, be honest!
I would love to have cosmetic surgery, but I don't know if I am brave enough. It also seems pretty vain and petty with all the other things I could be using my money for (adding to the reward fund for little Maddy for instance. Something like that makes you re assess your values.) Anyway...I am 45, smoked for years and…

10,000 steps or not??
The cheapest way I know to exercise is walking - and free pedometers help to monitor how much walking you do. But - when the target is set to 10,000 steps (which seems the norm) how is this measured? Does it depend on the type of pedometer? :confused: The wretched devices can be strapped to one ankle, clipped to a belt,…

Alzheimers Help
My mother in law suffers from Alzheimers but so far is managing to live alone in her own home with support from family. However, one of he main problems is that she has very little awareness of 'what day it is'.

No hassle prescription only for glasses???
I normally go to Specsavers for my glasses but they are very expensive!

Omega 3 capsules (merged)
Hi Would it be possible to start an Omega 3 oil/capsual hunt, as from what I can see there are quite a few people who by it for their children (including me) and have found it to be invaluable but also expensive. It looks like the haliborange brand seems to be the most popular, has anyone else got any ideas. Thanks Maria

Does anyone have a relative with bipolar disorder?
We haven't got a formal diagnosis but we're fairly sure my sister is suffering from this. She's now on really high doses of Prozac but it seems to be making the peaks and troughs worse. We suspect she's telling the doctor about her depressive episodes but hasn't realised that she's also got a problem with 'highs'. She also…
