Try moving to Scotland its only 17 degrees here. Leggo you say! My Daughter is into the 5000 piece Japanese architecture micro Lego brands found on Amazon. She loves building them and taking them apart again to be able to build them again in the future. If you haven't tried them yet @Nicola M...

Hi @Hoodiegirl3 don't let the mocks stress you out, there is never ever only one chance at things in life. If you ever have a flair up in a real exam and things just don't go as well as you would expect. You can appeal for Special Consideration after the exam which takes in to account the...

Hi @helenb1979 this is nothing to be worried about. :happy: I can only offer my experience the drops will sting, this is very mild and only last for a few seconds, but I have never had to wait for them to take effect for more than 5 mins not half an hour as stated above. After the exam your...

Its ok @helenb1979 lots of people don't watch TV or Films. No stigma here. ;) :bag:

Hi @DiabeticDi As you can see from the other responses porridge and dried fruits are not too good for a diabetic. Can I ask why you're husband is eating this for breakfast? Is it time constraint need something quick in the morning or is this in your mind "the healthy option" Healthy option...

Hi @robin321, this is fairly normal. You will find that you deal with a Diabetic Nurse not a Doctor. Results are relayed over the phone, not a face to face appointment. Discussing anything which requires the Doctors attention with the Diabetic nurse is pointless; they usually can not make an...

Fascinating. I don't want to our conversation to generated any more unpleasant memories @zand thanks for sharing. :bag:

That fascinating @zand it didn't stop to consider the obvious down side of "smell-a-vision". Do you have any control over it or is it completely involuntary? I.e. The try not to think of a of a pink rhinoceros scenario. OR if it helps the end of Ghostbusters choose your own destroyer...

I will bow to your experience I didn't even know it was a thing I had to google it. But it is the type of thing you see in movies all the time. As with many things I just put it up to Its a visual medium and they have to convey it some how. Abstract smell makes perfect sense thanks @Melgar...

This is why I would fit in, in Australia I just call everybody Mate. :bag:

Now that is interesting. Didn't know this was a thing just looked it up; are you able to, sticking with an Apple, imagine it with your eyes open sitting on a desk and moving to a chair etc... that would implied external imagination. Faces I can't visualise you when your not here. I would be...
