I guess at least two of the questions are related. The problem is just the third question.

Yeah if it was the first two then I'd have probably taken a few, 1 is ok, 2 is a little much, 3 is taking the p*ss.

OMG at the amount of Chemists on RE!!

I currently have 485 jobs showing (not just chemists, but several pages of chemists alone!)

I would sign up for some of these but I would need to put on some padding first....... many things can be said about me but needing weight loss advice is not one of them. I'll wait for the giving up smoking and drinking questions oh and one for giving up sarcasm and cynicism!

I have to admit I've taken a couple of the chemist jobs - I use the mandatory purchase item anyway and the third question I can get away with asking, esp as I actually am trying to shed some of my winter blubber (although I was thankful for it at the weekend when my drysuit leaked). But the fee is quite rubbish for the amount of work involved!

Yeah, it's a great way of getting free drugs if you need them, absoloutley.

As it happens, I could have used the drugs, but my nice doctor gave me a 6month prescription, so I shouldn't need them this year Although if I'd have known, I'd have bagged my local before it disappeared and sent you the tablets, scubaangel!

Do the pharmacy visits on RE always involve three different questions? Was looking forward to doing one of these, but it seems rather a lot for the small fee.

Ilona the only surprising thing is you are surprised.

You know me the wee naughty bit is very tempted to take 1. There are 31 showing for me. You have to buy a hay fever remedy leaving you £2. Then they ask what you spent that on. I would love to put Condoms!!!!! Banana flavoured ones.

And after you have purchased a hay fever product you don't need they have a cheek asking on a scale of 0 10 How likely is it you would buy this product. I want to answer 0 and give as my reason " I have no idea how to answer this question as not having hay fever I have no idea what I would purchase as I don't have hay fever."

A bit like this swine flu. We are told there are loads of stocks of Tamiflu. Supposing it cost you £5. It would be like me asking you if you had swine flu how likely is it you would purchase Tamiflu.

Just when I thought RE could not get any worse.

But oh I am tempted.

These pharmacies once went for ages and hardly anyone took them. I kept watching as there were loads in my area and week by week they extended the date. This went on for months. Hell mend them.

Hey scuba if I do just 1 I could sell you the tablets half price. Now there is an offer you cannot refuse. I still have a cupboard full of winter cold remedy you take at night with a hat on from about 3 years ago. Since then I only do them when you can buy what you like with the reimbursement.

OMG What are you going to do with the 485 boxes of hay fever tabs. Sell them on ebay.

Lol probably end up reported to the police for drug dealing if you tried that!! :eek: :rotfl:

Many thanks for the offers of chemist products but I have a stock pile at home anyway from assorted supermarket offers (both my Dad and myself use them for cat allergies as well as hayfever) so I'll decline the offer of buying them for half price unless you want to exchange them for other items eg banana condoms from the rest of the reimbursement (I loathe banana so would be more than happy to oblige).
