Now they are leaking. The NHS has told her she needs them removing, and they will do it, but they will not…

Losing weight

Dentist going PAYG instead of Denplan
I have been paying a dental subscription with Denplan for many years, and I am contemplating the idea of going on pay as you go. I have got a price list for treatments from my dentist, and on the face of it, it will be a lot cheaper for me to pay per session than paying via Denplan, based on everything that's been done in…

In my 50s - new to makeup - help!
Although I have left it late, I have decided to wear a bit more than my usual 'eye shadow and mascara' from now on. But I have no idea where to start. I could go to the make up counters in a local Department store but I don't think that would end up very money saving! And I think that 'heavy' look would be wrong on me when…

Multifocal Contact Lenses
Anyone have experience of these. I bought some with a recent prescription and found them very blurry. Neither far nor close vision was good. In fact they would be very dangerous to drive with. Think I'll stick with single (far) vision ones in future.

No prescription fee on HRT meds with HRT certificate
Hello to all, Copied this from the Mum's money saving forum as this forum is probably more appropriate. Apologies if this has already been posted but in case not, did you know that by obtaining a HRT certificate (£20) which is valid for 1 year, you can get (most) HRT medication free of prescription charge? I wasn't aware…

Dentist conversation - reasonable?
Hi, First to say, I am not asking for or expecting medical advice here. What I'm seeking is views on whether the conversation I've had today with my dentist is normal/reasonable, as I really wasn't sure. If the consensus is yes then I'll leave be, but if not then I will consider seeing another dentist (which would have to…

Dental crown question
Hi, I have just had my first ever dental crown… aside from it being ugly metal on the nhs (quoted £500 or £700 for private white or full porcelain ones!)… should the crown cover the entire tooth? On the inside, the crown goes down to the gum line. On the outside it only goes half way down the tooth so part of my own tooth…

Are Boots Opticians frames now single use?
When your prescription changed at Boots Opticians you used
to be able to have the updated lenses fitted to the existing frames. Last
Friday I was told that it was now necessary to buy new frames – last time
(2021) my prescription had changed but I needed new frames anyway so it wasn’t
an issue. Does anyone know when Boots…
