New NHS Wellness :rolleyespink: campaign:- 'Forty fags a day keep the care home at bay'.
Quite agree, FM. Really, if the NHS was a bit more honest about its funding situation, it would be persuading us to take no exercise at all, cut...
Lovely, Penny. And I love your new deck.
'Ballerina' produces large trusses of smallish flowers, rather than single blooms like yours. Unfortunately, as Woo will tell you, tracking down...
I was at the dentists a while back when a receptionist came in with a message. 'Mr Bloggs doesn't care what you do to him but he doesn't want you...
Yes, Pete, I've got those fillings too. :) It is true that practices get funds for 'preventative' care - hence the sudden interest in lobbing...
Hello Kels. The problem is ... there are so many roses! And if yours is an old rose, the task of identification is even more difficult because...
Thank you, Daisees. Why aren't all doctors as sensible as you? :) Since my surgery now runs a system under which you rarely see the same...
It certainly is. Done regularly, it works on your mind as well as your body and leaves you with a wonderful sense of wellbeing. It will give you...
Jenny, I make a rule never to recommend places as everyone has a different idea of their perfect holiday and I'd hate to be responsible for a dud....

Clueless, Fidgetsmum is quite right. Medics somehow want to believe that there is a 'correct' blood pressure reading, when all the evidence is...
Hello Clueless Your post sounds all too familiar and makes me rather cross. I suppose it's good that we're all monitored so closely but doctors...
Thanks, Vicky. I'm surprised that the J. beesianum is struggling. But now that I come to think of it, my pot-grown plant is amongst the first to...
Hello Jenny. Well, it's always nice to catch up with things at home but, whereas sometimes I am really ready to come home at the end of a...
So sorry Loli - I'm just like you, I get far too attached to animals. But then, there's not much point in having them unless you love them. I...
Thank you for identifying my plant, Victoria. Does your Jasminium polyanthum have large flowers? On the specimens we buy as house plants I think...
It always seems to happen to me. I think I must have a suspicious face or something. I'd removed every last bit of jewellery and I wasn't wearing...
