    It's official I have a chest infection :( Dr has given me some antibiotics so hopefully that should sort it.

    I was :eek: at the chemist when I found out it was £8.05 charge these days! Can't remember that last time I needed a prescription from the doctors but it must have been many years ago!

    Hope the antibiotics are starting to work and you are resting too.

    Thanks Goldie & Cath :)

    Sadly not resting as much as I would like as still having to go to work...however, I am keeping the evenings as free as possible ;)
    No change today but I don't feel worse so I will take that. And on the plus side it's the weekend :j
    They are forecasting snow here again overnight :eek: I hope not as I'm due to be going out tomorrow for an early birthday treat. I have covered the car windscreen just in case!

    No money news today

    Same here.

    We have no snow :(
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

  • None here either, just a little yesterday which soon disappeared. Next time you are in Spain, go to the pharmacy and buy some antibiotics. Then you don't have the faff of going to the doctors and they cost less than the prescription price for just a week's course. It is a bit naughty but we are adults, we know when we have an ear infection etc and I got fed up being told to wait u til my eardrum had perforated before they would give me any drugs.
    Paid off mortgage nine years early in 2013. Now picking and choosing our work to fit in with the rest of our lives!
    Still thrifty though, after all these years:D
