Diabetis is a serious ilness you know
My dad got free meds for his diabetis because if he had to pay £7.20 for each prescription he'd be in perminent debt. so much other stuff can happen to your body because of it
psoriuses (sp)
angina
strokes
losing limbs

I find this really offensive.
i lost my dad 24th november 2009 when i was just 19 and he was 48
far too young to die!!!

In my life ive had to stand there and watch my dads face fall to one side whilst hes having a stroke in front of me several times
watch him have angina attack after angina attack
watch his whole hands/legs seeze up and him not be able to move

in fact ive spent my life slowly watching my dad die in front of me until just after his 48th birthday he has to have his foot removed, then caught ceedif from the filthy hospitals, then have his whole leg removed, then catch mrsa then watch him die

So sorry but i would have rather had to pay for all his prescriptions and still have him here than get free ones but still lose him

its just money, moneys nothing

:(:(:( I'm so sorry Tricia, as Nikki said (thanks Nikki :A)
I posted above that I re-read my original post and I think it could have been taken the wrong way which is obviously how you interpreted it and I'm so sorry, I really didn't mean anything offensive at all.....let me explain.....

The guidelines regarding exemption of payment for prescriptions are centred around replacement of what your body lacks naturally. That is my one and only reason for mentioning Diabetes...it's a very well known illness and I was merely illustrating the comparison of my illness to another, both of which stem from lacking a particular substance but one illness qualifies for free prescriptions and one doesn't. I have NOTHING but sympathy and understanding for anyone that has illness in their life, growing up my second home has been hospital. My mother has Rheumatoid Arthritis, blood clots and Bechets syndrome, my Father has Multiple Sclerosis, I have Lupus, blood clots, Osteoporosis and have been Anorexic, my Grandfather has prostate and skin cancer and Alzheimers, my Grandmother has COPD.....:o:o:o I have a neighbour who has been seriously ill with Diabetes for years and from a young age we were always taught what to do if we found him in a diabetic coma, my uncle also has the disease.

Your poor Father, Tricia, he went through so much. Please understand my point has absolutely nothing to do with Diabetes, it's severity or the suffering it brought to your Dad or anyone else. I was simply moaning that as a household we spend in excess of £350 per year on prescriptions and now I just sound like an unsympathetic hypochondriact and I'm completely embarassed. Of course money is nothing at all in comparison to a life and I'm so sorry if you interpreted my post to mean that.

I'm so so sorry to anyone I've offended, I'm gonna go now and have a little cry. I'm sorry xxx

ETA: Just to say thank you to tigerwhite and tbw xxx

Can anyone remember the dishwasher tabs DTD, I saw a SEL for £10.50 on a pack of Finsh but can't remember which but it had a star in the corner.
TIA:)

The Finish dishwasher tablets expired 4th March and were £20 ish down to £10.50. I think there were 60 in a pack.
However, keep your eye out for Fairy Platinum (in a silver bag). I got a OOD SEL from £12 to £6 so I got the DTD and had them for free. Think they have 62 in. I didn't find them in the dishwasher tablet aisle, they were in the RTC and bulk buying aisle. Hope you can find them for a freebie.

We were the same initially WiB , always had a bag of bags etc but when the supermarkets and others stopped issuing them we found that there we had a shortage of bags to wrap items before putting them in the freezer etc ...
when we cross the border into England we take up the offer of bags at every opportunity .
