    Just got my letter and a booklet through confirming my appointment.
    The dog food was delivered this morning....I ordered off petsupermarket on friday just after 4pm along with frontline flea stuff for her and I must say I'm impressed with them.
    The flea stuff arrived Sat morning recorded delivery and the dog food today...they send you an e mail saying when it has been picked up by the couriers.I only got an e mail about 8pm last night re the dog food being dispatched and it arrived this morningso will be using them again......it was very reasonable as well and free delivery over £29....
    Her Frontline 40-60kg dog ...6 pippetteswas only £35.11 and 15kg of James Well Beloved was on offer at £35.99...I went through quidco as well but it doesn't seem to have tracked.
    Tess was very happy with the Parcel Force man who gave her plenty of attention and thought she was lovely and also that he brought her a bag of dog food....both packages were really well wrapped as well..so will be using these people again.#
    Have to nip out in a bit and get a new headlamp bulb for the car as it went last night..why could I not have needed it yesterday when I went to pick up the rear light cluster!!!!

    Thanks Taxi for the tip. James Wellbeloved is what we use, so I will definetly give them a try. Flea stuff seems really reasonable too.:)

    Hope you are ok

    Taxi I think we should all say thank you to you as although you are having a tough time at the moment it has reminded us all we should be checking regularly.
    It's also highlighted to me how we all make friends and get support from people on here that we dont even know.
    Having been through this myself i know its important to keep busy.
    :j:j:j Well done on clearing the cards that must give you a good boost to get the rest cleared.

    I agree with all this:):):):)

    There are loads of lovely people on here and it would be hard to get by without you all.:T:T:T:T

    And yes we should all definitely check regularly for lumps and bumps

    Taxi, I know you've got the undercurrent of the lump and the appointment, and all the feelings around all of that, but the first thing I read was about the bargainous dog food and flea stuff, and then the huge overpayment to finish off a card! And you're cc free now, personally! Fantastic! I'm very, very pleased for you.

    Absolutely. I'm just about to check on my bank account - if the total's gone down by a few grand, then Northern Rock have cashed the cheque, and that loan is gone, so just the mortgages then.
