HELP. Can’t get treatment.
My wife has severe pain in her knees which has become progressively worse. She was due cortisone injections long before lockdown but still can not get them from our local NHS providers. Some providers (mainly private) are providing this service whilst ours say they have no plans to re-open soon. I seem to recall that after…

Look Fantastic Absolutely horrific customer service
Totally appalled with LF. Had a sub box, monthly beauty box, had it for 12 months. Cancelled it as the postman won’t leave the parcels and it’s a trek to the post office every month. Set up a new sub with the box to be delivered to my parents address. LF have sent me 3 boxes now and charged me 3 times. Apparently new sub…

Glasses Repair
I managed to crush a two week old pair of prescription glasses last year. I really need to get them sorted as they cost far too much to just ignore! Has anyone here used any of the online repairers? Any recommendations? Thanks

Need to find a good optician, any suggestions?
Hey all, I need to have an eye test, and it is most certainly will need new specs. My last test was 18 months back. I have used Specsavers in the past, but to be honest, although they are a big chain, I felt like I was being herded like cattle. I am considering Asda Options and Boots Opticians, any good? any good deals?…

I returned to my dentist today to explain my concerns and he was like yep we’ll just take some of the length of and thin them out which he did but now I’ve…

Recommend a new hairdryer?
My old faithful hairdryer blew up this morning, literally went up in a flash and clouds of smoke. I need to buy a new one. I did buy one with lots of attachments ages ago and I hated it. I couldn't be bothered with all the bits and it didn't feel robust enough in my hand. I want one with variable speeds and heats and one…

Arthroscopic Subacromial Decompression + AC Joint Excision
I am due to go in for Arthroscopic Subacromial Decompression + AC Joint Excision at the end of August. I know there is one old post on the forum (back from 2014) but I was just wondering if anyone else has had this surgery and if they can provide any insight into the operation, discomfort and recovery period.

I am in my 20s and due to past problems my teeth are rotted away but I cant afford dental care?
I dont know where else to go for advice as i want to remain anonymous for obvious embarrassing reasons. I live in the Uk and as I was growing up I didnt go to the dentist much I guess my mum just never remembered to book appointments for me. I was about 10 when I had a bad accident and broke off the bottom halves of my 2…

Hairdressers putting prices up?
I messaged my hairdresser who told me my regular service would now be £55 instead of £40, as she’s put her prices up. I find a nearly 40 % increase a lot, it smacks of profiteering off the back of covid & how desperate everyone is to book in. The basic materials haven’t risen. I know there was a long period of no income,…

Dry/Wet Cut
Sorry if I sound thick. Booked in to get my hair cut for tomorrow. They said it would be a wet cut as no dry cuts allowed. Why is this? What’s the difference? Do I need to wash my hair before going or will they be doing that?

Who's now ditching the hairdresser?
With lockdown and lots of people looking at how to cut their own hair and doing it, how many of you now realise they now don't need to be paying a hairdresser to to do it and are stopping going to the hairdressers and doing it themselves? Its made me realise I could easily cut my own hair as I normally only have a trim…

First Time Trying Hair Foils
I am hoping to try and colour my wife's hair using the Hair Foils technique. I've done it using the cap over the lockdown, which has been successful on the whole. My question is regarding the development time. When using the cap the colour can be applied very quickly and at the same time as all the hair is there ready.…

I went to see my dentist last week as I was suffering from tooth pain and it turns out I have an infection in a tooth for which I previously received root canal treatment (many years ago). I was advised to see a specialist endodontist at the practice, which I did (£53 private appointment). The specialist has advised…

Tesco Pharmacy no longer ordering perscriptions?
For some years I have had my regular monthly perscription ordered from my GP by Tesco Pharmacy. I then collect from them after receiving a text message. This month I didn't receive a text message but I knew my medication should be ready, so I asked husband to collect when he went there. He was told that I couldn't order…
