It's £200-300 per month through Boots Chemist online over here. Think you have to do an online consultation first. Through the NHS (free) you would have to get a referral through your GP to a specialist weight management service. I don't know anyone who's done it so I don't know much about it. I would think you would have to have a very high BMI to qualify under NHS. I really strugle to lose even half pound when following a strict weight loss programme and I exercise quite a lot. So it's something I'm quite interested in. Will be interested to hear @brilloheadhow you get on with it. Typical diet for me is one weetabix with a little milk, berries and plain yoghurt for breakfast, home made veggie soup for lunch and a calorie counted homemade dinner in the evening. Maybe a couple of glasses of wine a week and a small sweet treat in the evening with my herb tea

Though its similar to when lounges or areas of the ship are closed for large groups. I remember one transatlantic when the VC lounge was closed every night for diamond happy hour between 4 and 8, just the time when hubby and I liked to go up there for pre dinner drinks and watch the sun set . As we were pre Diamond then, our favourite lounge was denied us every evening

Glad you had a good cruise. I've been looking at other lines (annoyed about being kicked out of crown lounge during HH. If we had stuck with RC we would be diamond plus now but there's always the thought that HH may be taken away from D+ too eventually 🤷‍♀️). What 'experience' did you book. We can't afford the suites but I get confused about the three different levels on MSC

Congrats on the fast mending of your new knee Greg and good wishes for a speedy resolution of your stomach issues

What a wonderful story, you're friend looks amazing. Many Happy Returns for her 100th. What a great granddaughter she has

I made the mistake of letting Gary go to our village butchers to order the Xmas turkey instead of getting one from the supermarket. He's ordered a huge one costing over £100 😳 AND I think number 1 son and family will be at his partners family so it will just be four of us plus baba

It's night time now so you can see there's nothing coming from the panels, but we're using from the grid. The little circles run along the lines in the direction of where the power is coming from. If its a sunny day we should go into the evening with enough stored in the battery to last all night, so the electricity used from the grid is not much. We've just bought an air fryer today. They're all the rage, apparently cooks very quickly and with hardly any power.

So frustrating, tried to book a short Asia cruise on RC and kept getting an error messsge. Gave up in the end, will try again tomorrow.

Sorry for your loss, our pets are so much part of the family

My first job at age 17 as a secretary was at ICL (International computers ltd). The computer room the operators worked in was massive, with floor to ceiling computers whirring away.

We had them installed earlier this year. We've got an app that tells us how much power is going from the solar panels to the battery and how much is used by the house from the battery or from the grid. And yes, Gary nags me to use the washer/dryer and dishwasher washer during the day when the solar panels are working.

@grapau27Graham, I believe you cruise P&O sometimes. Spotted this today. Seems an amazing price, though not sure what the weather will be like Nov/Dec or crossing Bay of Biscay

Sorry to hear about Joebob, a beautiful cat 🐈 Hope the root canal went well, some days you are glad to get to the end off ....

When he first booked the world cruise he said he was going to do a blog. He's got a great way with words with his trip reports and I was really looking forward to hearing about all the unusually ports.

Yesterday was our normal weekly grandson childcare day. Started off with music class, which our other grandson and his mum goes to too. Great fun. Absolutely pouring with rain so our normal park visit didn't happen. Later in the afternoon we had a walk in the woods 'going on a bear hunt'. Lots of mud and puddles to splash through Lovely day

I don't think there are any Lands End stores in UK but I buy on line quite a few things. Love their 'no tug' swimsuits and matching cover ups

I'm so so sorry to hear about your hairdressers employee. You're right, when it's personal it hits so much harder 😪

Happy for you both the sale has gone through , selling (and buying) is so stressful

Hopefully with relatively few sea days (only 2 on our 16 day sector) most people will be ashore most days, but agree a dedicated card room is an excellent idea

I think I read its over 900

We have Remembrance Day tomorrow, 2 minutes silence at 11am on the 11 Nov. Originally to commemorate when the guns fell silent after WW1 but then expanded to honour all the dead and wounded from subsequent wars and battles. On Sunday there are Remembrance services in all the churches and a national service at the Cenotaph in London. Gary sells poppies each year for the Royal British Legion, one of our main military charities

We're having a really wet autumn over here. Rain most days with the odd sunny spell. Walking in Henley-on-Thames a couple of days ago the Thames is very high and fast, almost bursting its banks

Looks like you have good weather. 👍

I remember the same thing happened about six months ago. Offered extremely cheap specialist dinning but you couldn't complete the purchase

Thanks Helen 👍
