David Lloyd Saving
Hi All, I just found out about a fantastic money save for David Lloyd. I purchased a not publicised Founder Membership deal from David Lloyd in Sudbury Hill and I now pay £97 a month for me and my partner and two kids to go to David Lloyd. That works out less than the council gym. What is even better is that I can use any…

To the young lady who posted about Breast reduction
I do not know if you will see this but I was just replying when your thread was made invalid. Looking at your crowdfunding page the picture does not help IMO. It might help if people could see the problem. However, I think you might do better if you contact one of those'true story' mags and they might be prepared to do an…

Glasses sizing (lens diameter etc) - how does it work
I have a pair of Oakley C-Wire with clear lenses which are 61-16-127 and also had a pair of Oakley Straight Jacket with brown polarised sunglass lenses 61-18-135.

NHS Dental Work question

Economical body lotion

Hi I want to buy prescription sunglasses and have been looking around a bit. I saw nice model on vision express but the lenses are either £59 (standard) or £99 (Glare-proof polarised).
