Supermarket shopping - proof you're a vulnerable person?
My partner has bad asthma; so bad in fact, she couldn't get enough breath to complete a spirometry test a couple of weeks ago. One can understand why she doesn't want to go anywhere public until COVID-19 is not such a threat. In addition to this she's also gluten intolerant. I'm now doing her shopping for her. Up until now…

Free dental treatment question
I remember many years ago my husband got free dental treatment as he was unemployed for a short time. He booked a series of appointments to have the work done but got a job before the work was completed. The dentist said he didn't have to pay as he was unemployed when he booked the work. Does this rule still stand or do…

Temporary dental crown fix.
Eek - just woken up to find my crown in my mouth - good job I didn't swallow it ! It's one of my canines, and the supporting post is the original tooth rather than a metal implant. I don't imagine this will be classed as a dental emergency - so is there something I can buy from a chemist to stick it back on until we are…

Hotter Sandals--- replacement insoles?
The insoles in my Hotter sandals always wear out before the sandal straps and soles. The replacement insoles that hotter sell are for shoes rather than sandals and quite thin and flimsy.

They can't help me as I'm not in enough pain for it to be an emergency and even then, they can only do a phone consultation to tell me the best ways to manage the pain. I'm taking…

Does anyone use or take CBD products or oils?
Keep seeing CBD everywhere in articles and even our local health food had it advertised in the window. Does anyone here use CBD oil in anything (coffee, cakes etc) and most important of all, what is the feeling you get from taking it! My cannabis smoking days are long over, but interested to hear thoughts on this latest…
