Hand warmers
Can anyone recommend the best type of hand warmers? I decided to buy some for when I take my dog for his walk, we're out about 40 minutes or so each day, and I wanted some to fit inside my gloves. Not sure whether to choose rechargable or any other kind. Does anyone have any experience using these, or advice to offer?…

Repeat prescriptions when moving house
Hello - I moved house at the end of October, and have successfully registered with a new GP (via their online portal). I have also downloaded and registered for the NHS App, however I cannot order my repeat prescription (or see a history of previous prescriptions). Do I need to do anything else to get this sorted? I…

Castor Oil addiction
I've recently become addicted to castor oil as a beauty treatment for just about everything, has anyone else been experimenting with it? I use it at night after cleansing and moisturising my face, I rub it in my belly button, on my husband's bald head (he shaves it twice a week and his skin feels tight), on my nails and…

Has anybody tried Anbesol gel for gum pain? Am I the only one who finds it difficult to use?
I have a debilitating and chronic gum pain that can't be fixed (or so my dentist says), so the only think that works is good old fashioned Bonjela. Because I am a cheapskate, I went to Savers and I bought Anbesol gel 10g for only…

Dental Implants Abroad
I am looking at options for dental implants, I only have my front 8 and a back wisdom tooth on my lower jaw and want to reduce the wear on these.

Hair help
Hoping someone with hair care knowledge can help me with my bird's nest hair I'm ashamed of it. I think it must be a problem with blow drying technique although I do point the nozzle in the right direction and I invested in a dyson last year. I use all products my hairdresser recommends and I even had a keritin treatment…

Private gynaeo help - follow up consult fee contest
I am wondering if I can get some advice on where I stand contesting an invoice I have been sent regarding a follow up telephone consult I had with a private gynaeocologist.

Ultrasonic cleaners for retainers, glasses etc.
I have a gum shield to help stop me clenching my jaw. I've had it 18 months and despite cleaning it after every use and regular soaks in retainer cleaner, it's looking pretty discoloured and some dark staining which I can only think has come from a filling. I keep seeing adverts for ultrasonic cleaning devices. Which they…

Laser eye surgery - advice
Hi All, My eye sight is just starting to mean I need to wear glasses regularly, and with my job, this means I'll need several pairs - 'occupational' and just for distance at least.
