How many is the correct number? I am sincerely interested in your opinion.

How many what?
And it'd probably vary from person to person as well.

Mrs Exlaser works in pharmacy so knows how the system is supposed to work .
1) Person orders repeat prescription from doctor using the paper repeat , by email or by using an app. Doctors are not really supposed to take repeat orders over the phone , but some still do .
3) Doctor sends prescription to nominated pharmacy.
2)Doctors are trying to put the work of reordering onto pharmacy so they don’t have to do it due to the rise of online pharmacy as that how these companies work.
3) Bricks and mortar pharmacies are not happy about this as it extra work for them , for which they are not contracted to do by the nhs, nor are they paid for.
4) At the pharmacy my wife works , they are now only doing repeat ordering in special/exceptional/ emergency situations.

PS I am the only person in my family still using paper repeats, as by doing this I know who is responsible when it goes wrong 😂😂😀

Still have a repeat prescription phone number here. You just leave your details and what you want and go to the chemist 48 hours later.

We are really backwards in Wales. Take prescription to the quacks. Put it into a box on the outside of the surgery. Wait 5 days. Go back to the quacks and pick up medication from a window at the side of the surgery. Making a round trip of 32 miles just to pick some tablets up

I didn't want to say that someone had obviously plonked them into the wilds of Wales.

Beavers were introduced to Knapdale in Kintyre where they were tolerated but not exactly welcome. Now they have somehow found their way across country to near the River Tay where they were certainly not welcome but nobody is allowed to remove such sacred animals.
Quite a journey for a family of beavers past several conurbations and across motorways without being seen.

Got them here too on the Earn.

We can only reorder by phone to the surgery and if they have managed to get their act together it should be available at the pharmacy in 48 hours. They don't always get it right so I allow plenty of time for sorting problems if required.

WoW that is crazy, so what happens if you have no transport, I suppose you wouldn't live out in the sticks.
I put my prescription in on the surgery web site and pick it up from the chemist 4-5 days later

Weren't there beavers in Loch Tay in '95?

 

[monkers]

Bimble now postponed. I'm now headachy, achy, coughing and shivering.

I've now got a blanket, a pillow and Mr Ted for company.

I'm still house hunting but only on-line so far. One caught my eye but it got snapped up very quickly. The right one must be out there.

 

[classic33]

How about a thatched cottage?

They may well have got there. Short answer is I don't know offhand but will check later.

On the northern shore, about a third of the way up.
