Cheers mate,
We're looking at Melbourne - hopefully I'll find it better than here. Mine
also is very seasonal, now being the worst time. Bloody typical as meds are
next week.
Thanks for the link, I'll take a look at that. If the blues are as cheap as
you think then that is beaut. I normally get given 2 on one prescription and
that is now £6.50, ( say $16 ).
Thanks again.
