    Hello!

    I think you're quite lucky - that's low from what I've heard!

    Hope it's nearer the £17 than the £30!

    Welcome to the forum btw, it's not often Sarah can't keep up with someone

    Keep smiling!

    Thats some discount you got there! That is my plan if they dare charge me £30! although I feel very grateful that it is just £30 max I can pay!

    Mine cost £70.00 and took the Dr over 5 weeks to sign it. When I chased it up, after 5 weeks, was told it was still in his in box, funny how they cashed my cheque straight away though

    wish mine was that cheap.

    mine is £60 but a doc's near me charges £150. very unfair tbh how long can it take them to have a quick look at your records.
