Dosette day prep

[LoncinLad]

Found a picture to add to my earlier reply to Don’s brilliant rhyme on Monday, The Dosette

Before putting the tablets into the separate daily compartments for the week, I open up a checkered tea-towel onto the table then lay out the full weeks requirement in daily columns using the squares before filling the box 1 day at a time.

Very good idea LoncinLad. Pete might need a tablecloth but that’s ok. Xxxxx

Nifty tip - thanks!

[HungryHufflepuff]

You’re very organised! 👍

[LoncinLad]

Thanks HungryHufflepuff.

It sure cuts out the frustration of being tablets short or over by the time you fill the last compartment.

Such a bright idea! 😀I do mine nightly ready for the next day I find it easier that way ..... or maybe I’m just lazy!

Ackshully, having so many pills and tablets lying totally unfettered on a tea towel on my desk strikes fear in my heart. I could easily absentmindedly pick that towel up and do the washing up whilst Midge munches away at my weeks supply on the floor.

The towel will be good to stop pills jumping about whilst I load up though. My dosette consists of 7 individual long boxes with 5 separate compartments to each box covered by one sliding lid with the day marked on it. With all the lids off all seven boxes placed one above the other gives me a pattern similar to your tea towel to deal with each box of pills.

Sounds like you have it all under control Don.

[Oshgosh in reply to Hidden]

Where did you get your boxes from?

I puta fewofmy tabets in a box,but the problem. Have is that I have so many tablets morning and evening that-they won’t fit in the box

[Hidden in reply to Oshgosh]

Amazon have a wide range, mine is a Anabox Weekly Pill Organiser, but you need to choose carefully for one that suits your purpose best.

Thank you

[LoncinLad in reply to Oshgosh]

I second Don's reply.

I also have a wide range of daily medications, some to take in the morning & some in the evening so I use a different box for AM & PM. As well as Amazon, you can normally buy dosette boxes in the larger chemist shops like Lloyds & Boots.
