Best place to be!

skylight

Although Somerfield is one of the expensive places - even for cheapie stuff!

I have done a shop today for £50 for a family of 6 - including toiletries/nappies etc. (But No fruit/veg - thats done now at the local groceres!)

Hi charlotte - well done £50 for 6, I spent that for 2 of us (and couple of grandkids coming for weekend) Reason for going to that shop is it is on way home from work and nothing else but small co op in our village, it means a 22 mile round trip in opposite direction to get to say Asda so dont know if that would be false economy or not. Will look at Old Style over weekend (kids permitting)

Thanks for your advice, the prescription one looks good - I'll ask my doc.

And check if you're entitled to free prescriptions - pharmacist might know that better than the doc. Sometimes for long-term conditions use of a particular drug is all that's needed to qualify you for a prescription card; pharmacist will have the forms.

Thanks tawnyowls I didn,t know that, I buy loads of painkillers too cos they are cheaper than prescription charges, when I asked my doc if he could prescribe larger amounts he said no. Am hotfooting down to chemist in morning to check it out

Dont you dare.

Debt is just money. There are many more important things in life - LIKE YOU.

Agreed. I watched that Panorama show the other night about debt and irresponsible lending. Those guys who committed suicide because they owed so much money probably felt the same way as you do, but I am sure if you asked the families left behind they would rather have ten times the debt and have their fathers/husbands back.

Have just been reading this thread ...

Pattimay - well done on being so determined to do something to change your situation in a positive way!! Recognising that one has a problem goes a looong way towards getting it sorted

Am thinking about you, and hope your appointment goes well :T

Hang in there ...

Hi shantin, thanks for your support, im just glad I started posting on here when I did, things are bad but could have got a lot worse if I hadn't started reading this forum. Will post tomorrow, hopefully with a plan of action.
