Hand Sanitiser
Hi all. Has anyone been able to get any over the last week or so? If so, from where? They are out of stock everywhere near me. Is it just a case of buying them off eBay or Amazon now? Is there a way of making my own or something similar? I know hand washing with soap and water is the best but it's not always possible.

Has anyone had Tier 3 weight management? If so, how did you find it and what was it like?

Dental treatment in Europe after COVID border lockdowns
There are some flights already, but once it's easier again to fly, I'm planning to have quite extensive dental treatments done abroad. I'm thinking of Hungary, Turkey or Poland so far where I'm happy to travel a few times and enjoy the holiday at the same time. Those who had it before, what are the most important factors…

With the extra hand washing I've been doing recently my hands are now cracked and red raw, I've always normally had issues with dry, chapped hands. What do you guys recommend as a decent hand repair/moisturiser cream, particularly something I can use in the day without leaving greasy marks form whatever I touch.

Boots Sleepeaze- Aldi clone
Along similar lines to their cosmetics clones aldi are now selling an exact replica of boots herbal sleeping tablets at around half the price. You can buy as many packs as you like (£1.99 for 30 tabs,) as no nasties in them. I’ve used skeepeaze for years with great success so stocked up for many more nights (cheaper)…

Crown fell out
With it being bank holiday and then the weekend, I can't phone the dentist for advice. My crown fell out of a molar, the remains of which are probably best described as a tooth shape but with the whole of the middle very much hollowed out, and the sides above the gumline are maybe half the height of a normal tooth. (I've…

Restrictions on repeat prescriptions
I went to pick up my repeat prescriptions from Boots and usually I have two months supply but was told by the pharmacist that the government has now put restrictions on repeats. I spoke to my gp surgery who informed me that the government put these restrictions in place since Coronavirus. I wasn’t told about this and as I…

Haircuts
How is everyone else managing right now? As a woman with short hair and a fringe I'm now starting to look like a Yeti (just when I am more in need than normal of looking normal - with all this Lockdown going on). I've gathered there are a few bootleg hairdressers out there - so have been trying to find one unsuccessfully.…

Any females on here had laser hair removal?
Hello everyone, Once I lost the excessive weight I carry, I will be getting laser hair removal. My GP told me because I have a lot of excessive weight (and PCOS) that my body produces a lot of male hormones. Therefore, I grow excessive hair as well. Once I've lost the weight, I'm going to be getting laser hair removal. I…

Creams and lotions in pump bottles - a rant and an appeal
I know why companies put creams and lotions into hard plastic bottles with pump dispensers: people like them. I do too. When the pump dispenser is working properly it's easy to get the desired amount of cream out of the bottle. It feels slightly 'swish' to do so. But the waste! It's criminal. When the bottle gets down to,…
