    If you regulary have 2 prescription items or more a month, it is worth you paying for the prepayment certificate. It costs £104 a year, spread over 10 months - that's £10.40 a month with two months of the year free. Compare that with paying something like £16 a month or more in over the counter prescription charges!
    That's handy to know! I can't afford that with my current job as I only earn £100 a month and I *really* need to pay around £60 a month already... But if I do need to get more prescriptions regularly, I will defiantly look into it! I'd do it straight away but can't afford it :(
    If I pass college, I'd be looking for a new job around august.
    Deafleopard - well done for declaring NSD # 4 & 5. :j:j Hope you're feeling better. Also you declared # 5 yesterday and again today, so are you on # 6 :D
    Oh silly me, sorry my brains been a little muddled since being ill and thank you I'm starting to feel a little better,just hope my hearing comes back to normal before saturday...other wise i'd have to miss work.

    NSD #6

    They do a 3 momth 'pass' for £29.10, which it's worth having if you need 4 prescriptions in that time frame.

    The annual one pays back if you need more than 13 prescriptions a year, and it can be paid for in 10 instalments (if you pay by DD), which isn't much more than 1 prescription per month for those 10.

    Try a little bit at a time with the garden, attempting anything like that all at once is daunting - can anyone give you a hand?

    Boot camp early this morning, quite a tough session that ends in something taken from Navy training - its tough but gives the opportunity for a good sprint and I love it, as a grown up there's not many opportunities for a good run like that and stretch of the legs. Back at pole for the first time tomorrow too after my digit injury :j

    I am also super excited as I've just booked our summer holiday :j Just need to persuade myself I do not need a complete new summer wardrobe....however (as with car expense which is also on the list for tomorrow in the form of an MOT) that does not count as a spendy day so decaring NSD #5 - not sure I've got my mojo back but just been so busy I haven't had a chance to get out of the office at all. MUST get my eyebrows done tomorrow before someone mistakes me as a relative of the Gallagher bothers :eek:
