NHS Dental Work
Hiya, I think I need a root canal, while the NHS website said this would cost £65 I remember discussing the price with my dentist back when she was putting a filling in and she said if the filling didn't work then a root canal would be what she'd have to do. I seem to remember her saying this would be the maximum £280…

I just bought Liz Earle 50mls Cleanse and Polish for £2 from Boots online app. It's £5 Friday at Boots so it's already reduced. I had a 300 points worth £3 off any Liz Earle product on my Boots app so it brought it down to just £2. I don't know if everyone gets the same offers on their Boots app but it might be worth a…

Wet Shaving, your experience please.
In my day you had a wilkinson Sword single blade. Gillette has increased this to two, then three then four, now 5 and pivot head. I am interested in your experiences (whether Gillette or other).

I spoke today with Axa about how to reduce the cost of our policy
(without changing provider). Axa suggested the guided option which is their
list of 16,500 consultants rather than the full 21,000. They say that when you choose
your hospital they will offer three or four consultants from their reduced
