What i do is lift €500 from the ATM and put it in the bank to pay my phone and internet as i need an account for them..Rent is paid into the landlords account..My Movistar account is only €34 a month so €500 goes a long way..

Not surprised to read that three out of ten Spanish are overdosing on ibuprofen., seriously increasing their risk of even worse health.

I get the impression from Spanish media reports that the increased domestic pressures as a result of the crisis are becoming all to much to bear for many, with numerous cases of attempted suicide, some by overdose as well as increasing problems with domestic violence.

It's quite understandable I suppose, in household with big families living permanently on top of each other on a shoestring budget, with no jobs to go to and little or no money for other activities outside their own four walls.

There have been a couple of comments from those in high places saying the worst is now over.
Lets hope for just once they are right, because even in a best case scenario most experts seem to think it could take another five years to get back on an even keel.

Having had a 1 year old ill in Spain and getting liquid paracetamol from the pharmacy was difficult, one pharmacy had a policy of no drugs for children without a prescription, following a trip to the Drs we returned with prescription but the liquid was still a much higher concentration than we were used to in the UK and worked out at 0.2 mls..... very difficult to get down an unwell child! This was a few years ago so I do not know whether they do have a lower dose now, but I have been unable to get sachets of liquid drugs for children for when we are traveling.
