Re: Saga Free Breakdown Cover

I maintain an AA policy which I take out new every year, as the renewal price is always higher than new. It's nice to have the peace of mind with an older car which I use for family holidays towing the caravan. I have it purely for the "tow me to where I want to go" Relay cover to get the car home (...

They prescribed me some anti-anxiety stuff for the headaches, took one look at the side effects on the box and didn't bother.

Re: and today i have mostly been...

Re: and today i have mostly been...

I had cluster style headaches for a year, around my temples, but would spread / move all over to the sides of my head, top or even back. They didn't tend to be 'bad' but the near constant presence of them doesn't half wear you down.. Diagnosed as Stress, then possibly infection with antibiotics, the...

Re: The practice of Undertaking cars
