Putting up my hand to recognise myself as Mrs Spine at my local chemist recently. I went in to have prescription filled for hrt patches and the pharmacist laughed at me (world wide shortage at the moment). Mrs Spine erupted…….. too many swear words to add to your space Katy. Loved this
I too use my local chemist where the owner is both terrifying and incredibly helpful in equal measures. She didn’t even flinch when I nearly had a meltdown when I couldn’t get my HRT. I have many questions about the fly lady, so many questions. Fly spray from the chemist? Why is she covered in flies? I will ponder for a respectful amount of time.
The independent chemist near my mother-in-law’s house is pea-sized, and 50% of the time the staff refuses to allow you to buy an over the counter item. Toothpaste is usually ok but if you want anything else, probably not. My mother-in-law loves this because it reminds her of rationing, and virtuous suffering gives her superhuman strength. I asked Mum if she had any hydrogen peroxide. “I’m not allowed it,” she said with delight, “the girl down the chemist said no.”
Am I the only one person wondering if the elderly mother is actually dead, hence the fly covering?Whether they have yet to realise this or if have propped her up in the corner for old times sake I’m not sure.
Well done for not full snot splutter laughing in to The Spine.

That's totally allowed. I'm not sure that much ire is to be used for a £1.75 tin of fly spray though!

There are definitely more questions to be asked here!

You're definitely not the only one who was thinking that!
ha ha! it did definitely cross my mind
😂
Nope. Me too!
I would have been staring hard at those vitamins as well. I do hope the third time was the charm for the prescription.
It was!
Funniest story I have read to date 2024. Thank you for making my day…..and the ear worm.
