    Would you be able to get your prescription delivered by Boots rather than pick up? I don’t know why chemists seem to be making picking up prescriptions so stressful right now, our local pharmacy is the same. Every time I go in there to pick up Mr SA’s prescription I feel like the great unwashed 😩

    Aww, feel better soon, OBL. Treat yourself kindly for a few days & do gentle stuff like chatting to the 🐔 🐔.

  • I hope you feel better soon OBL. This is such a stressful time for everyone at the moment and I do think that picking up prescriptions is the most stressful thing of all. I had to queue for 40 minutes to get mine the other week.

    I possibly could get it delivered SA but to be honest I will be glad of the excuse to get out of the house,I don't actually find waiting to be stressful at the moment because I know everyone is up against it so I'm cutting people lots of slack, the stress came from knowing DD was outside and would be getting annoyed at having to wait 😟

    I hope you feel better soon. Tensions are high at the minute so hope you and DD are ok. It would annoy me though if someone was constantly moaning. I probably would have snapped at Boots.

    She just gets really angry and I get that things are a bit weird right now but I'm constantly walking on eggshells trying not to upset her,she had had a go at me three times before I snapped but then made it to be my fault 😡
    I know that feeling. I usually end up apologising as well x
