A British GP has advised people to get checked if they can hear a “heartbeat” sound in their ears. The condition is known as Pulsatile Tinnitus (PT) and leads to people hearing a whooshing sensation, similar to that of a heartbeat. Some of those who suffer from it may find the condition slightly annoying, while others have described it as “intense and debilitating.” The condition is usually linked to other health conditions such as high blood pressure or an overactive thyroid.

In fact, researchers at Cornell University estimate that we make 226.7 decisions each day on food alone. Yes, you read that correct, just one part of our everyday routine.

We all try our best, but sometimes we make mistakes, sometimes we miss appointments or run late for school collection. Being late for pick-up can be stressful for both the parent and their child, but we never mean to be. Sometimes life just gets in the way or the car stops working or the traffic decides to be particularly slow.

If, like us, you’re running out of ways to keep the kids entertained during the winter break, then Netflix has you covered. It’s too cold to visit the park, we’ve visited the cinema twice, and we’re out of craft ideas. It’s time to turn to Netflix and there’s absolutely no shame in that. As much as we love being productive, having a cozy day on the sofa is acceptable too.
