Late yesterday I found more of the green Kiwi fabric in my stash, so I am really happy about that.
I can make at least 10-12 more placemats with it. So that is what I will be doing today.
This afternoon is our village's AGM, and Stew is leaving work early so he can attend. I went last year and found it dead boring... but I should go, just to show an interest I suppose.
Last year I think I only went for the lovely afternoon tea! Clearly I won't be having any of that today.
When you are paying an arm, a leg and half ya left tit too for WEGOVY, the last thing you are gunna do is blow all that money by eating badly!
It really is EXPENSIVE. I don't know what people in other countries pay for it, or it's equivalent Ozempic, but I bet it's not as expensive as here!
In a month I go up to the 2.4 mgs dose, and I dread to think what that will cost. The 1.7 mg dose's price was a bit eye watering for sure.
If you are in another country, and are on WEGOVY or OZEMPIC, what does it cost you per month? I'd love to know.
I think Lacy is calling in again this morning, after her hike up the Hakarimata Summit Track. If she does, we will be returning the brazier I bought her.
And then she will be getting another one to replace it. One that I know will actually NOT fall apart.
More about that later.
ONWARD...
I asked them what would they be putting in the lemon tree's spot? They were not sure, so I suggested...
Hydrangeas don't do well in pots, particularly over summer. So best to move it now.
I've just been to Spotlight for some backing fabric for the placemats I'm working on.
And Lacy is on her way over, so we shall be heading over to Mitre 10 shortly... I hope that goes well and they give me my money back!
I saw a dress in Chartwell Square yesterday that won't get out of my mind... which means I might just have to go buy it! lol
Also this morning, I re-arranged shit in the freezer, so the gardening team were given a big bag of savoury scones for their lunch. They were very appreciative.
11.50 am, Lacy arrived. We drove to Mitre 10 and took the OMG totally munted brazier in and they gave me my money back, no hesitation at all. That brazier was only 6 days old and looked like it was 10 years old! I was gobsmacked when I saw it.
Anyway, money back. Lacy then dropped me off at Chartwell Square, where I tried on that dress.
Well 'tried on' would be a bit wrong, I couldn't even get it to go over my head!!! It said it was a LARGE, but no way in hell was it a large. I'm not THAT BIG... clearly very, very small sizings. I was disappointed, but not overly, as it was an expensive dress that I didn't really need.
After that, I jumped on the bus and came home.
Lunch time... and I might just have some fruit. The scales have gone on a strike... nothing is changing! I feel like I have to literally STARVE to lose anything right now.
I think menopause and my age is going against me.
I've only just started on Ozempic but my pen cost me $84($105nz) and it will last me 10 weeks. First 4 weeks at 0.25 and then 6 weeks at 0.50. When my girlfriend started on it in January it was $275($344nz) for the same pen!! So it's come down a huge amount. I looked up the price of Wegovy. In Canadian Costco locations, Wegovy generally runs roughly $412($516nz) to $422($528nz) per 4-week supply/pen depending on the specific dosage (such as 0.25 mg up to 2.4 mg) so quite a difference. I know that as my dose goes up it will cost me more. I have heard that most smaller pharmacies here will match Costco prices, so they can get the business. That's what happened with me cause I didn't want to stand in line at Costco when we get our other prescriptions at a small pharmacy. How does that compare to what you are paying?
ReplyDeleteJanice you are paying a fraction of what I am! In Canada the prices seem to be similar though.
DeleteYip, will definitely be doing the Huks then calling in with the bung brazier after Xx

I take Ozempic for diabetes here in Australia and it is the 1mg pen for $25 a month. It is on the PBS for diabetes. Wegovy costs a lot more as does Mounjaro. Wegovy 1.7 and 2.4 both cost $370 here in Australia. Mounjaro is a lot more...
ReplyDeleteWegovy is just another name for Ozempic... and you are so lucky to only be paying $25! I am paying a little less than $500 a month right now, and once I go up to the 2.4 mg dose I fully expect it to go over $500 a month.
DeleteI'm in Melbourne and just got diagnosed with diabetes and put on Metformin, and I have been told Ozempic will be $7.70 a month since it is on the PBS for diabetes. A friend is paying that amount now. I am still thinking about Ozempic as I am losing weight at the moment without it.
DeleteOMG that is incredibly cheap!!!! I wish I lived in Australia right now.
DeleteI think $7.70 is the price for those with a health care card.i have been on it for a number of years because i could take metformin. It used to be $40 but has slowly dropped to $25. Hubby was on it for a short time as a non diabetic and was paying $150 a month
DeleteDid the garden team get rid of the ugly tree?
ReplyDeleteHope the hydrangeas get shade after midday, they hate afternoon sun.
ReplyDeleteHere in the states (Georgia) I oay $44 a month for Wegovy.
ReplyDeleteWegovy 2.4 mg is $470 and 1.7 mg is $450 at Chemist Warehouse. I presume you are getting it from there?
ReplyDeleteDamn! No I'm not. Next prescription will be sent there for sure.
DeleteYes, Ozempic and Wegovy are the same drug, but as a diabetic you can get Ozempic 1mg $25 a month in Australia...just to control the diabetes...I wonder if you can get that after you have lost your weight to keep your diabetes under control.. 1mg does nothing to control my appetite...Ozempic is the only medication I take for diabetes and my Hba1c has been 5.6 since I started it 2 1/2 years ago...these drugs when used for weight loss are meant to be used basically for the rest of your life....as the weight will come back...just like any weight loss plan etc...
ReplyDeleteIm on Mounjaro, and get the 15mg pen which costs $690Au . But I’m only on 5mg so it lasts me 3 months. At the moment my pens still have the ‘golden dose’ so that gives me another 2-3 weeks, so it works out to only about $50 a week.
