I tried to cut the 20mg statin tablets, but they were hard to do as they are small. Good news about your blood tests 👏 1644882116 I had this side effect. Took 20mg of statins and got restless leg and muscle aches at night. So, GP decided to half the dose to 10mg.

Went to NL yesterday to re-fill the drug prescribed by the oncologist. I asked why there was a huge increase / difference in a statin drug prescribed by GP - $16.90 for 20mg in Aug 2021 and $21.49 for 10mg in January 2022 - both same brand. They said the costs depending on whether it was a...

No, I went to the one on the corner (NL). Will go to Chemist Warehouse next time.

Went to the local chemist yesterday to fill a statin prescription for cholesterol. Got home, checked on the cost and it was a shock. Filled the same prescription in early August last year - 30 tabs for 20mg dose, cost $16.90. Yesterday the same prescription - 30 tabs for 10mg dose, cost...

We have spent and spent a lot of $$$ at both Bunnings and Officeworks in the last 3 months :( And, still on a spending spree at Bunnings in the foreseeable future, so will delay it until December after Bunnings is officially part of Flybuys.

It has been 4 months since we were released from prison hotel quarantine. Just had time for some air now. I have been through rounds of appointments with GP, tests, scans, specialists, a procedure and an operation! Also managed to sell a small house in Brisbane, settlement in 2 weeks. Since...

We had our 2 doses in London (the 2nd one some six months ago - how time flies!) and have been getting texts and phone calls this week from NHS England and the local GP office in London offering to book us for the booster (3rd dose). We told them we are now in Sydney and will be getting our...

Our house used to be the renovated one with 2 'old unrenovated' ugly ducklings on either side. Ten years later, the 2 ugly duckings have turned into swans! Now, our house has become the ugly duckling :) The big house (with pool and tennis court) three doors down is now being renovated -...

We live around the corner from kpc - but I only saw them once (since out of prison hotel three months ago) standing outside our front fence when they walked past our house - for exercise. However, we have kept in touch via whatsapp :)

Thanks, GSP, for the comparison of the 2 cards. Will think about our spending patterns if it is worthwhile to take up the upgrade invitation.

Good point. Hubby thought the same.

Hubby has got an email from CBA inviting him to upgrade from Diamond to Ultimate card. I have read about both, and am of the opinion that maybe he should go for it. The only issue is that if they ask him to provide 'regular income' paperwork, then we won't have any because hubby has retired, no...

Feeling technically challenged here ... We were vaccinated in London, got our GP add our vax records in our Medicare records. Got the certificate - as shown in the sample - in pdf and saved it. Opened up the QF app on iPhone, went through all the steps, included the pdf upload, but kept...

Hubby would like to know if you are going to bid for the second hand pair of A380 SkyBed seats?

How long is a piece of string ... cove and kpc have some knowledge of our current home situation - we need to take back space in our home after being away for nearly 10 years 😂. Have been really busy with re-establishing our lives back in Sydney (and pay a lot of taxes into the NSW government...

Funny thing was the invoice for prison quarantine showed $3,000 against my name and $1,000 against hubby's name 😂 We are too scare waiting for debt collectors, so either we pay up or ask for a waiver from revenue nsw (our chance is probably nil and zilch). A friend drove us to their GP today...

@PineappleSkip - We received an invoice from Revenue NSW by email this morning (two days after our prison hotel escape) - $4,000 for the 2 of us to be paid by 6th August 2021 😢😢 This on top our huge NSW land tax bill also payable at the same time will surely "bankrupt" us 😩😩

Taking a rain cheque. You will never know, we will be in Brisbane to sell our investment property in the next few months - if we are allowed to travel that is.

We are so thankful for being able to return home with the encouragement and help of friends on this forum (some we owe a great gratitude) and personal friends from far and wide around the globe who have contacted us by phone (having to pass the hotel reception Spanish inquisition first 😂), daily...

Only a few hours we will be released from our prison hotel quarantine. Hooray! Such a big relief to be home 🙏🏻🙏🏻 Here is our “last” meal – one of the better ones. But, we look forward to home cooked meals, even though they may be bland and boring. For those who may be doing hotel quarantine...
