you are telling me!!!
Ciaras dr wants to change her medication to a differet tablet - the new tablets will cost 130 euro a month!!
I think Ill stick with the ones she is on which are a much more reasonable 20 Euro a month!!
Thank god at least diabetics get free scripts otherwise we would be completely screwed having to pay for Decs insulin!

I find it more expensive than the UK
alot of stuff is the same sort of price
food is slightly more expensive (supermarkets), take out would be a similar price
alcohol is more expensive
Declan pays 42% tax , he wouldnt be on an incredible wage but its not a really low one either
we get no free heathcare unless you earn next to nothing and you can get a medical card for that
other stuff is cheaper - our petrol is cheaper than the UK but on the whole I think its more expensive overall
