Bloody annoying! I don't have perscriptions but Steve does every month as if they are not expensive enough, especially as he has to chuck half the bottle of eye drops away!!

Are you able to get a pre payment card, this may work out cheaper if you have to get something every month, both hubby and me have one:

I tried to get our doctors to up my OH's prescription as it only lasts him a month but they said due to EU regulations they were not allowed to do so (he's on this drug for life) bloody EU what's it got to do with them
