Can't imagine why anyone would need a lifebuoy in their back garden but there's one born every minute especially in this thread

Oh sorry, you meant this obviously

This will be a weird one. I was fixing the bathroom and I stopped using the immersion realise I saved €10 per week so I joined the gym and now I don’t use my immersion and I shower in the gym… It’s effectively free gym membership

My gym is frequented by angry-looking, shaven-headed, heavily-muscled types covered in tattoos.

I’ll shower at home thanks. Hang the expense.

That's tough, and just under the DPS limit.

I suppose my money saving tip is make sure couple \ family are registered for DPS so all scripts count to the limit.

There’s a separate thread on prescription costs. Prices can vary significantly between different pharmacies. It can also work out cheaper if you get several months prescription at a time.
