Anyone a hospital doctor? Or does anyone know one personally?
Ruby 2, 15 July, 2009 at 11:37

How easy is it to get time off if you are on the rota to be working, or even on call on a given day? Say it was for an extremely important family event - a one-off for a very close family member? It...

Decent optician in London? [for contact lenses]
Ruby 2, 19 March, 2009 at 15:31

HeidiHole, 5 February, 2009 at 13:47

I've been dieting the last couple of weeks and have done fairly well. However, this week I have had the appetite of a St Bernard, as if being bloated pre period isn't bad enough. I have no willpower...
