What sort of value would it have as a holiday rental? Could you make the figures balance and still let friends and family use it. A really depressing thing but would you be liable for death duties if your dad passed on. January 24, 2018 at 10:18 am #306 mel 4 Posts I would like to see a breakdown of spending on PFI vs actual patient care. I suspect a great deal of front line money is going to private service providers and their shareholders (or not, as in the case of Carillion, who took the profits and left the risk to the taxpayer). And VERY swish buildings – our local hospital has beautiful frontage and entrance lobby, but is struggling with patient care and targets. And highly paid managers who think perception and appearances are important. But you can’t ask them to sort out the issues, they are hardly going to tell it like it really is. On a brighter note, I don’t think the public would stand for privatisation as per the insurance system in the USA, and the politicians know it January 16, 2018 at 12:14 pm #277 mel 4 Posts I use the Caroline Hirons “regime” too Morning: cream cleanser, toner, HA serum, moisturizer with SPF Evening: oil cleanser, cream cleanser, toner, HA serum, heavier duty moisturizer. Twice a week I use the Aldi got cloth cleanser in the evening in place of the cream cleanser, I also have 2 or 3 moisturizers with and without SPF on the go and rotate to a new one each day because otherwise I seem to get sensitive to them. I’ve only been doing it for a few months but it’s made a huge difference to my skin. I’m interested in The Ordinary stuff – how on earth do you choose which products to use?
