Repeat Prescriptions 3

I am happy to report that I've been able to collect the repeat prescription drug item which was missing from my package. It was, apparently, "forgotten" to be included from the list on my re-order form by the people in the doctor's surgery. So I re-emphasize that you check that you've got what you ordered and don't hesitate to chase people up - or get someone to do it for you.

Following my advice to check that all items of prescription drugs are contained in packages being picked up at your pharmacy, I had cause to regret not taking this advice myself as I discovered, when I got back home, there was one item short. This sort of thing has happened before. The last time, the missing drugs were found in a separate package in the pharmacy itself. This time, however, it appears that the fault lies within the doctor's surgery. This drug has now been re-ordered and will be, I'm told, ready for collection in a few days time.
To be continued.

Repeat Prescriptions

To all those out there who rely on pharmacists to supply them with repeat prescription drugs, I give this advice:

Check that all items are in your package before leaving the pharmacy as mistakes will and do happen.

The Missing Link

Ann "Is that your real name?"

Contestant "That's my name, Ann".

Ann "Your parents gave you that name?"

Contestant "No Ann. I changed it by Deed Poll".

Ann " Oh, and what was your name before you changed it?"

Contestant "Myss, Ann".

Ann "Miss?"

Contestant "No, Ann. Myss - with a y".

Ann "Missy?"

Contestant "M-Y-S-S, Ann".

Ann "So. How did you decide upon your present name?"

Contestant "Well, Ann, you remember that film where this black guy says, 'Call me Mister......'?"

Ann "Put your board up".

Contestant "I didn't put it down, Ann".

Ann "Thanks, Mister".

Gosh! "Three Thousand Years In Sodbridge" is not the historical document I was led to believe. It was, hubby says, written by a local man Allfonso Carpenté and published privately under the pen name Alfred Carpenter in 1920. It contains, apparently, many inaccuracies leading a disappointed critic to scribble across several pages the word "ballcocks". No luck in the Christmas raffle; the winner, to everyone's surprise was the vicar's wife. Gosh.

Gosh! Great news today. "Three Thousand Years In Sodbridge" has just been returned, anonymously, to the local library. This historic treasure was missing for almost five years and thought to have been lost to us for ever. Hubby will be delighted as he takes such an interest in the history of the area. This will, I hope, get him out and about more often. Our Xmas Fayre was well attended and, apart from a couple of drunks making a nuisance of themselves, a good time was had by all - especially the children. The Grand Christmas Raffle will be drawn by our local vicar at the weekend. The winners, he announced, would be hung on the church railings facing the main road. Gosh!

Gosh! Did you see the cricket? Hubby says he could've done better than most of them despite his complaint. Myself, I thought the English side were even worse. Why not play Wally Hammond? Have been much too busy to do much Christmas shopping. I will have to do it on line and save lugging hubby round the shops as its becoming quite an effort for him these days. The grandchildrren will be taken to see Father Christmas by their mother who's managed to get time off work. I hope to go to the school play this year as both boys are appearing in it. We now have a brand new supermarket at the edge of town. Its opposite the Castle Museum and is on the site of the original building of 1808 erected as the County Lunatic Asylum. Gosh!
