Centre pieces for winter wedding

Foraged pine cones and teasels; added a lick of gold spray paint to the teasels, some faux berries and put it all together with a hot glue gun!

Edited for grammar and clarity:

The venue is a very beautiful Victoria house, usually a hotel. It will be very Christmassy and well decorated generally already!

I sought some quotes for wreaths for the table; it was in the ballpark of £1500-£2000 (completely understandable for the effort etc, but sadly not in my budget).

There would not be time in the morning for me to make fresh arrangements (off to the church for 12 and resident guests will be breakfasting until 9 in the same room).

The venue were happy to place pre prepared arrangements.

So here we are!

The demonisation of hormonal treatments

Anyone else finding patients are really afraid to have hormonal treatments?

I completely appreciate enquiring minds, and looking at women’s health with greater scrutiny. But a lot seems to originate from complete misinformation; you could even say from fear-mongering.

I am worried about where this has come from. The majority of my young patients believe the coil, the pill etc cause potential infertility.

Is it cynical to feel there is a big social media pull to make women ‘fertile’ etc? Statistics support that abortion numbers have risen as a result of cycle-based ‘contraception’.

How do people handle these consults? Am I a conspiracy theorist?!

Assertiveness Training

Has anyone ever had assertiveness training? Any decent recommendations? I had a friend undertake some years ago and it was very helpful for him, but provider has since discontinued that particular course.

Thank you!

Accidental Pumpkin

First year of gardening and another lesson learnt!

Some pumpkin and courgette seeds did not germinate after prolonged time, so tossed the compost into my flower bed.

Behold the Accidental Pumpkin, which has flourished far better than my intentionally planted veggie patch pumpkins!

An unintentional, but much loved, addition to my flower bed.

Honeymoon recommendations

Hey everyone!

We are an OW qualified couple with 27 dives apiece.

Live in the UK, looking to book honeymoon April/ May next year. Willing to travel, 2.5 weeks. Healthy budget.

We would like somewhere which includes culture, land activities and diving.

Previously dived in the UK, Spain, Greece, GBR, Egypt and Mexico.

Would be willing to potentially do additional qualifications, either before or during honeymoon.

Although still low numbers of dives, we have been very fortunate to have some great instruction and have good buoyancy and have kept skills etc fresh.

Thank you in advance!

How many ‘extras’ do you have added on average, per session?

Salaried GP. Had locumed elsewhere but otherwise only worked at 1 practice.

I like how it is ran but feel workload is grinding me down.

10 minute consults, 15 per session, no double appointments, complex demographic and often get an extra on top. I feel this is very normalised in the practice, on top of an already steep workload.

How often do you get extras?
