I recently had some friends visit and their son was allergic to the cat (and nuts and a few other things). His mother said that he developed them within a few days of his childhood vaccinations and...
My Mum is having to sleep on her back at the mo due to a pelvic fracture (it hurts to try to turn on her side) and she says the mattress digs into her. It`s quite an old mattress and I thought I might...
Well, after a week of intensive tests at our hospital the verdict with my Mum was what I thought. Metastic breast cancer in the bones. With a history of lobular breast cancer, spontaneous fracture and...
Vaillant combi boiler. It won`t fire up when I put the hot water on - only if the central heating is on at the same time. I`ll have to get someone in but I just wondered if anyone has any ideas.
I`m getting quotes for stairlifts at the moment. I`ve got Stannah coming tomorrow and we had Acorn visit this morning. Flippin 'eck - talk about hard sell. They up the anxiety factor and even do the...
The doctor said that there was no cancer showing on the x-ray of my Mum`s pelvis and has prescibed Alendronic Acid. My GP surgery have pretty terrible reviews and I can see why. We were told a nurse...
Re- my Mum`s groin pain. While I was away, she was in agony and a doctor came to her house. He moved her leg around and said that he didn`t think the problem was with her hip. He prescribed ibuprofen...
Sorry to bother you. My mum had to get out of bed the other night (due to the cat destroying the bedroom) and when she got out of bed the next morning, she had pain in the groin crease. Yesterday I...
I`m thinking of making a wedding cake for a friend but want someone else to ice it. Has anyone who has used a cake decorator got any idea of prices? I know it will vary by area but I want to know if...
I`ve got a Flymo that is going to give up the ghost this summer (it runs on when you let go of the handle when it`s supposed to cut out). I was thinking of replacing it with a Qualcast electric...
I`ve found a Pataks tikka masala paste in the cupboard which I`m going to use in the slow cooker with chicken. I should use cream but I haven`t got any and can`t be bothered to go out again. I have a...
I would have put a reply to your thread in Jokes but it was a while ago and I don`t know if you will go back to it. The trip was absolutely fantastic - a real adventure and I`m so glad we did it in...
I was googling a remedy for peeling fingernails (when they peel away in layers) and one website said that this can be caused by vitamin A deficiency. Is there any scientific basis to that or is it...
What is it with kids riding scooters around supermarkets? Today in a smallish M&S my mum was looking at the food and a mother and her 9/10 year old kid came along. The kid was riding a scooter up the...
Just wondering, really. My late Dad had a lump that came up on the back of his neck. It was about the size of a large marble. My Mum said that his father had one in the same place. It was flesh...
I saw a funny thing yesterday in a shopping mall in the US. A risque underwear shop with manequins in the window dressed in kinky gear with whips and other paraphernalia and next door to it was a shop...
