    My wife is on about half a dozen drugs, which I re-order by e-mail when a repeat prescription is needed.

    We've had some near misses where she has nearly run out, because she hadn't bothered to check her supply often enough.
    This could be concerning as it takes two days for the prescription to reach the chemist and the surgery isn't open at week-ends.

    I told her she needed to take more responsibility.

    After the last, "near miss," I decided to print out a proforma with columns for the ordering her drugs.
    I got her to count up how many days supply she had of each and calculated when the next prescription needed to be ordered.
    A column for when it had been received and a further column for the date the item needed to be ordered again. etc.,
    I was quite pleased with the idea and presented it to her.
    She looked at and said, "Fine! But I don't need this, it's your job!"

    Doh!
    I had to laugh.
