Too knackered to cook? (Men's Health Week)
I seem to spend every evening staring into the kitchen cupboard, hoping that something tasty and quick to prepare will appear and leave zero washing up. As you can imagine, I'm almost always disappointed. So, what's an easy and nutritious meal (or snack!) you can always reach for when you're either too tired or can't be…

PURPL - Discounts ?
Why do PURPL offer 10% discount off home delivered Morrisons - and not IN PERSON shopping ? Whilst many disabled people (myself included) are unable to get to Morrisons on their own - many people (myself included) have partners who are and would still welcome the discount - perhaps via an ID card ?

Rant about neighbours, sorry....
I'm here venting again. We have had a bonfire piling up in our garden since last year due to building works going on - every time a kitchen cabinet or suchlike is delivered the packaging ends up on the pile. The bottom of the bonfire is an old tree which had to be dug up for our disabled bathroom extension. I've put off…

Let's be honest: we're all experts at ignoring that weird ache or the tiredness that never quite goes away. I know I usually tell myself, "it's probably nothing…" But what's one "it's probably nothing" thing you've been ignoring lately? Perhaps it'll give you the push you need to finally get checked!

Trumpisms

Is it just me, or... (Men's Health Week)
So, apparently it's Men's Health Week (15th June - 21st June) so I thought I'd look at simple, no nonsense things we can do to improve our health over the week. Don't worry. We're not doing some ludicrous and unrealistic 'let's run a marathon' by the end of the week thing. This morning my left arm is giving me some serious…

Difficulty in contacting my local GP?
Above. I can almost never get through to my local GP on the phone, every time I ring, I'm placed in a fairly long queue. Would there be a way to resolve this other than ringing at stupid o'clock before all the old dears with every possible ailment ring up? I don't think they have emails.
