Costly 'scale and polish' service at the dentist 'may be unnecessary'!
So then, after many years of dentists trying to scuttle me off for a 'scale and polish' at the hygienist (this instead of carrying out the procedure him/herself as per charge band) at possibly great extra cost, looks like 'scale and polish' has always been what I considered it anyway.

Value for money Sanitary protection
Can anyone recommend a good brand of Sanitary towel? I have such problems with them and they drive me up the wall. (I can't use tampons anymore). Usually they're just not long enough and they stick to themsleves before they stick to my underwear, or they don't stick at all and disappear down my trouser leg.

I had an eye test the other day, and decided to take the prescription and look for glasses at my leisure.

So, my eye test revealed…
