The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free.
But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient.
Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead.
Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?
Thanks,

Oscar's Everyone Day
Sunday 22nd June 2025
In 2021 Oscar the Grouch proposed one day each year where "we unite as a community and EVERYONE records an activity of some sort - a dog walk, a run, a swim, a ride, ski if you want...".
Sadly we lost Oscar in March 2024, so now we dedicate Everyone Day to him.
Thank you for the inspiration you gave us Oscar.
Well it's Vaseline plus cetirizine - the tab is fine while I'm at work, but not quite enough for running, especially as it's usually starting to wear off by the evening, and the vas is just effective enough. Good that you have a solution, either way!
This is the first year I have suffered with hayfever. I tried benadryl first which made me feel awful, really tired and not with it. On recommendation of the pharmacist in Boots started taking their own brand non drowsy tablets which have no side effects for me and work brilliantly. Buy one get one free at the moment too:)
My OH suffered terrible side effects with cetirizine, they made him grumpy, I'd like to use the word depressed without meaning clinical depression. He stopped them a few years ago and now swears by the honey thing.
I also found similar types of side effect from cetirizine, so I now just use a nasal spray. Recently discovered an inhalation powder thats inert but supposed to act as a barrier to the pollen getting through. Haven't suffered much this year, not sure if its because I'm more allergic to grass than tree pollen, because of the minimal stuff I've taken so far, because I haven;t spent large chunks of time outdoors/in fields or because I ate some local honey straight from the comb (yum!)
I used to use nasal sprays & they worked really well, but I would be coughing up froth when I went running, which wasn't worth it for me. Pity, I've never used anything that worked better.
Guess we all have to experiment to figure out what works for us without wiping us out one way or another...
I have tried them all and none of them work for me but I just have a spoonful of honey in the morning everyday in the Summer and seriously I haven't had hayfever once for 2 years now. Its best to get local honey if you can because of the types of pollen that the bees in your area source everyone is different though. If you are alergic to grass though its probably not going to work for you it only really any good against flower pollen, I used to get it so bad that my eyes would be burning and itching to the point I couldn't stop rubbing my eyes and driving was out of the question. Try honey if you haven't it really does work for me and it doesn't make you drowsy like most of the rubbish they sell over the counter!!!!
