The opening ceremony was absolutely brilliant. I welled up a few times, but then Tim Berners Lee getting proper, well-deserved recognition pushed me over the edge. Then the 7/7 bit. I was actually sobbing.
Other favourite bits were the lesbian kiss from brookie getting broadcast worldwide, the Mary Poppinses, the literal passing of the torch to the next generation to light the cauldron and of course the Queen and Bond.
Brilliant stuff.
Was out at A Winter's Tale last night. What a weird play, but brilliant nonetheless. One of the guys (playing a woman) gave some fella in the front row a lapdance at one stage, LOL.
Brought James for his haircut to "the lady" this morning. He's looking dapper now and we went to Next and he chose some clothes and tried on different things. Lovely mama-son morning and he's in much better form today.0 -

Missing a good night text is pretty standard when you've been together a while and/or aren't 15
My sleeping continues to be a bit awful. I went to bed at maybe 2.30am. I didn't get to sleep until it was quite bright outside and I felt unwell all that time in bed. I woke up about 2pm and felt wonderful though. I've made arrangements to meet a friend for quiet pints, just the two of us in the local relaxing (will be good after a hectic night bbq'ing and clubbing last night.)
That's so late to go to bed, maybe go earlier? Would probably help.0 -

Nah, it's probably so you don't have to make a load of trips to the chemist if the pain gets worse. I've to get taxis everywhere since my accident (still waiting on the new bike) so when I get painkillers from my G.P. he gives me at least a box of 60 tablets because (a) he knows I'm not made of money for trekking to the chemist every few days and (b) he knows I'm in too much pain to be trekking anywhere.
Heading into my fourth month off work now, the horror

So bored.
Reason why its unusual is because the nurse said that these tablets were fairly hard on my stomach - one lot (Ixprim) are the same as my mother is taking and are highly addictive - and said that nurofen and paracetamol would do perfectly! Its actually a weeks worth of them if I was taking the max needed - but I won't be!
Just as well we have the drug payment scheme, Mam got 8 of them from a doctor in Kerry cos she ran out, paid something like 30 or 40 euro for them!! Did some of the exercises today, gonna do more after I ice my knee
4 months off??? I'm bored today, despite having the Olympics on! Brother has the sitting room with the gf, I'm down in my parents room with RTE2 only - time to do more work on my blog I think! Kinda nervous with the brace and tubigrip off0 -

Am, wellllll...I've never used one and my mother stopped using hers 20 years ago, they're a bit gimmicky and one of the first things lots of people buy for cupcake decorating, then give up on. But I mean some people must use them! They were the original way of icing things in the early 1900's-ish.0 -

Sorry to butt in...........just make sure that you have been charged for the correct inhaler. Unless your prescription has actually been changed/increased I'm surprised the price has increased considering its a high cost item already. I say that because Boots (and some other pharmacies) recent changes to prices means that some items have gotten dearer but they would be relatively cheap things. In the greater scheme of things drug costs are generally falling.
You may have gotten the right inhaler but make sure the label & receipt are correct too as this will be what the computer charges for. E.G. Maybe seretide 500 was put through instead of 250. Or symbicort 400/12 instead of 200/6. Mistakes can happen unfortunately. Or you might just be unlucky being on an item that has had an unusual price increase
As an aside the prices listed by the HSE are often given without the correct context. I don't know exactly where you got the figure but often the prices listed are for the cost to the wholesaler. They then add on markup and costs before selling on to the pharmacist. So no pharmacist can get their hands on the medicines for the prices quoted.
Sorry for the long winded post, Im just stumped why your inhaler has jumped in price so much!
Nah, it's all correct, checked and double checked (on this inhaler 7 years now) because I nearly fell off the chair when my boyfriend came home and told me my prescriptions had cost €130:(
I rang the chemist afterwards to double check also and the woman on the phone was so ignorant (you know the way chemists don't like anyone questioning their pricing - well in my experience they don't anyway) and insisted the price was correct and the same across the board so I rang 3 other chemists in the area and they all quoted near enough the same price.
I got that information from the HSE website. If you google it, you'll find it. They have a list of most medication and have the wholesale price listed.
