Hi there, has anyone heard of this, or better still done it themselves? I'm writing a feature about older parents who are house swapping with their kids who have growing families but can't afford a bigger property... the parents have all family off their hands so are happy to downsize, so the two generations swap houses. Has anyone done this? thanks

ha! yes, drop me a line and i'll persuade your parents that everyone is doing it! But apparently, due to the recession, it is becoming a thing now, so would love to speak to anyone who has attempted it - either temporarily or permanently.

Not something I have come across in London, but my brother and his family (in Finland) are in the process of swapping with his MIL for similar reasons.


His FIL passed away a couple of years ago and his MIL feels the house has become too big for her. She would prefer a smaller (cosier) city apartment so has asked them for a swap. It means they can move to the countryside (near a beach and lots of parks) with their son and she can get closer to the city - to her workplace and friends.


Happy to get you connected if it'll be of any help.

      Problems finding Delmosart in pharmacies

      By Penguin68 · Posted

      I'm not sure pharmacists have any discretion to alter specific medication prescriptions, although they can choose supplier where a generic is prescribed which may be offered by more than one company. This will only be for older medicines which are effectively 'out of copyright' . They can't issue alternatives on their own authority as they don't know what counter-indications there may be for specific patients. GPs may prescribe a specific supplier of a generic medicine where, for instance, they know patients have an adverse reaction to e.g. the medicine casings, so the Nottinghamshire directive to specify only generics where available may not always be helpful.

      I see that in Nottinghamshire the local NHS Area Prescribing Committee is recommending that prescriptions should be for generic methylphenidate, giving their pharmacists the option of supplying any brand (or presumably a generic product). https://www.nottsapc.nhs.uk/media/bw5df5pu/methylphenidate-pil.pdf It might be worth checking with your local pharmacist(s) to see whether this will help them if, as I suppose would be necessary, your GP issues a replacement prescription. I'll have a look around our local NHS websites now, to see if I can find anything there.  Nottingham, btw, provide more information, nominally for clinicians, at https://www.nottsapc.nhs.uk/media/vwxjkaxa/adhd-medicines-supply-advice.pdf.  And at https://www.nottsapc.nhs.uk/adhd-shortages/.
