Registering with a GP Surgery.
I had the same GP surgery for nearly 40yrs... then I moved around quite a bit over the past 5yrs and went through a number of (quite poor) surgerys relative to my then postcodes. In 2018 I moved back near the area I grew up, and later was surprised to find that the person who owned my house prior - was registered at the…

Dental and Health Insurance/Plans etc
Hi all, Firstly mods if you feel this needs to be in a different section of the forum please move. I am looking for dental cover. I have recently had to move far away from my previous residence and where I am now it would appear NHS dentists are as rare as hens teeth (no pun intended). No one will accept me and I even have…

Understanding NHS Dental Costs
Hi I moved back to my parents home to look after them during the pandemic. My local dentist wouldn't take me on as a patient as they were not opening their books during the pandemic, I'm likely to be taken on in 2-3 months. I've had 2 crowns fall out during this year one of which I saved the other I think I swallowed, and…

Unhappy with new dental crown

Boots in-store Points Event question
Is it possible to get stock ordered to Boots and do the transaction in the store to make the most of more favourable points events? Basically, I want to buy some cosmetics that aren’t stocked in my local store, but would like to max out my Advantage Card points since it’ll be a big-ish purchase.

Shoes for Icy Steep Drive?
Hi all We've had a bit of frost recently and our steep drive was treacherous. We put some grit down but it was still ropey in places. Could anyone suggest a shore/boot that might help? I know you can get metal spikes that attach to shoes but I have no idea about how safe or effective they are. Thanks
