Recently I’ve had a number of people contact me about the odd world of catheters. This has been either through comments on a blog article, or through using the contact screen.

Buying shoes from Up and Running – review
Buying running shoes can be tricky and I was quite interested in trying out the new Up and Running store in Milton Keynes, hence this review.
