NHS Prescription Query
Last week my GP (over the phone) prescribed a medication for a
new condition and added it to my repeat prescription. I went to the chemist just now to collect both the new
medication and my usual meds. I am exempt charges on my usual meds but I need to pay for
this new item on the script which I am happy to do. However,…

The ordinary
Hi what are your thoughts on the ordinary. I have tried Liz Earle in the past and I have got a stash but I haven't used it in a while and I think it's expensive for the whole kit to get decent skin. I've heard the ordinary is good as they use the stuff you need without mixing other stuff in and you can tailor your skin…

How does Supercuts work?
I last used them about 25 years ago and it was a walk-up service. I assume they do the same thing now, but they seem to have an online check-in these days. (Which sounds good, because back in the day they would just tell you to come back in two hours each time you went to the desk.) However, their website explains nothing…
