    Morning all, why is it that I was sober yet my brain feels like it's being repeatedly hit by a bus?! Hopefully the painkillers will work soon as I'm never good if I've not had enough sleep or if my sleep pattern is upset...

    Oh well, last night more than made up for a headache. I can't believe what a weight work has had on me over the last few weeks and I'm now full of beans and raring to go!

    May sound a little strange to ask but I am on the pill and have run out (thought I had another pack) but it's almost impossible to get an appointment at my doctors so does anyone know if they can prescribe them at a walk in centre?

    I paid for the meal last night which came to £137 but it's going on my expenses. If I lose the receipt though then it will be the most expenses Indian I've ever had!!!

    Have a look at the NHS website or call NHS direct? They might be able to help. There may be a saturday family planning clinic or something you can go to? If you are on your break now anyway, then there will definitely be a clinic during the week you could go to. You can also go to another doctors for birth control as I had to once when I was away with friends. Hope that helps :)


    Loubie i feel your pain! Right now my debt is ever so slowly creeping back up, but I refuse to update as I WILL get it back down again... and I've worked out even if I go back to work on April 1st my pay won't go back to normal til the end of may :( I was on track to be debt free by the end of the summer really but not any more!

    It's probably release from all the tension you've had about work. Happened to me quite a lot in my last year at uni (massive tension at home as my Mam's job was going badly) The day I found out I'd passed my degree I broke down in tears on the admin (I turned up a day early and they couldn't tell me, I was devestated so badly they found out and gave me the results). I had this huge tension relief headache for a week after and couldn't stop shaking just to know I had passed.

    :huh: i never used to see a doctor when I was on the pill, I just had it on repeat prescription, obviously times have changed (I feel so old :rotfl:) Is it worth ringing doctors and asking if he will issue a repeat without seeing you?

    This is why I love my implant, nothing to remember, no one to see and when the 3 years are up, plenty of notice to get an appt :rotfl::rotfl:

    Haha yes, it sucks doesn't it! I'm paying money to the card but it's just offsetting what I've spent... although I did invest in some good trainers as I'm starting running so don't want to do myself an injury :o Not all of it is that sensible though! :eek:

    I'm on the implant too, it's ace! :D Although I'm not looking forward to having it out as the bruise from getting it was bad enough :eek:

    Ahem, anyway, back to moneysaving! (although not making babies is sorta moneysaving :rotfl:)

    My mate has already had hers replaced and she said it wasnt that bad, just a bit of tugging and that the new one going in was easier as there is already a gap for it :o Im taking he word for it :rotfl:
