I am DEFINITELY purchasing this 😍

The bottles for this line are just so beautiful! I accidentally bought the Parfum and loved it! Then I bought the original...and love that too! It feels like the daytime and night time version, or the babygirl and vixen versions.

No idea what this one will smell like, but I've never tried a maple fragrance before. Seeing as maple and lavender are the top notes, it'll likely fade like the raspberry in the Parfum, and mostly be an ambery vanilla.

I blind bought the other 2 and will probably blind buy this as well! Burberry blend their fragrances really well and they don't smell synthetic so I'm willing to take the risk with this brand!

Who's planning to get this when it drops?

Was putting off doing the home test as I have extremely limited mobility (mostly bedbound) and also have many food intolerances that make the already limited sibo test prep diet even more restrictive.

I can't eat eggs, rice, tofu or have caffeine, so I was left with meat, fish, and water. I don't have the ability to clean and prepare meat multiple times either. (Plus meat without seasoning is disgusting to me.)

I've just had my first meal of the day - good quality yellowfin tuna steak (on sale!), which I put in a food container with duck fat, salt and pepper. Massaged the mixture onto the raw tuna for a few seconds, then put both steaks into my preheated air fryer for 8 minutes at 200°C.

I then put 2 pieces of salmon into the leftover seasoned duck fat, and put it in the fridge for my later meal.

The steaks were ready to eat 10 minutes later, cooked all the way through but very juicy, and tasted like lightly seasoned chicken. The duck fat is what gives it some flavour since we aren't allowed any lemon or herbs or seasonings.

I will be doing the same for my dinner with the pre prepared salmon, and sipping water all day.

It's extremely limited, but thought I'd share an accessible way to do the prep diet for those who can't eat much from the allowed foods, and who can't be on their feet/use their hands to do full meal prep.

Hope this helps someone! I can't wait to have fruit and veg and flavoured water again tomorrow 😩 my diet is already extremely limited from MCAS reactions 🫠

My current GP surgery employs a particular male receptionist who is extremely incompetent.

I was calling to chase a district nurse referral for bloods required by the hospital for a bedbound patient (new drug monitoring). This particular receptionist often doesn't understand simple requests, or I will alert him of an issue, he "looks into it", and proceeds to repeat back to me the very issue I JUST raised.

There was a mess up of requesting the housebound patient to come in for the bloods, instead of sending the referral, as the "GP" didn't bother to read the patient's file.

This receptionist said they would correct the mistake and send the referral to district nursing. I've now checked and seen the request form has been sent out, but most of the form is blank except the dates required. Blood sciences is completely blank, so no detail of what bloods are needed.

The form has the same GP's name printed, but is signed by the incompetent receptionist.

Is the receptionist permitted to do a bloods form instead of a GP? It seems he is carrying out tasks on behalf of one of the GPs and making silly errors on top.

Also, what happens when district nursing receives this form? Can the blood requirements be added later, or do I need to go back and ask for it to be done again properly?

It baffles my mind how many incompetent people seem to skate by making major mistakes and no repercussions.
