Your way is about the same way I do it, except that my doctor sends me

They never think to tell me anything - I have to read the repeat
prescription which says when next review is due.

And (so far) no telling off. :-)

However, next appointment could be fun. I am going to complain about
repeats only lasting 56 days. If they re-tested me every 56 days, I
would not complain, but they only test once a year so why restrict the
number of tablets? Am also going to explain that I actually buy my own
from Germany because it works better for me than does the UK product. So
longer prescriptions help to reduce postal costs.

My mother in law gets only 28 days. It's a pain if she comes to visit,
out of phase with the repeats. We have to do a temporary registration
here and then wait ages to get her in for a consultation and finally a
prescription.

I get 84 days.
