    OK D don't shout.

    Admit I missed the pet insurance vets etc but @ £20 it aint gonna be a goldfish so eating fish flake wont do it no good.

    If its a dog worming tablets and flea control dont come cheap,theres also its annual jabs

    i was advised to roll the pet food into the shopping, so that 190 mightnt be far off the mark now

    I put £20 down for pet insurance and mine was agreed. Pet food should be in with h/k.x
