    This is an appaulingly dense question I'm sure, but why do people stop their cats having kittens, is there a medical reason for it?
    The only reason I had Pippin 'done' was so when he goes on his adventures he doesn't make lots of unwanted kittens, some places are pretty pro-neutering just to cut down on the amount of unwanted cats that end up strays or getting badly treated. Bless them! If you want a kitten you should go to the vets, alot of them have 'private' contacts for people that just try and rehome rescued kittens - My old kitty (the one who died a few months back) was saved from a farmer doing the bag treatment because he couldn't be bothered to get his cat done. Poor kitties!

    Well done on the next £500 Wendz!! :beer:

    Thats really kind of you Poolie. From Darlington. To Birmingham on the 27th November (morning) coming back the 29th November (evening). Best I have found was about £88 but we need to get two £28 18-25 railcards to get those tickets, but at least we'd have the railcards for another year?! It's only about £130 without the carsd so I figured we're beter to but them and still have them than just pay the extra £20 each.

    NIM has got us free entry to the wedding fair this Sunday, which is good as I forgot we needed £6 to get into that!
    Debt January 1st 2018 £96,999.81
    Debt September 20th 2022 £2991.68- 96.92% paid off
    Met NIM 23/06/2008

    Couldn't resist the 50% off snapfish after getting my Grandparents canvas made so I've just ordered one for OHs family and my brothers girlfriend. Means I only have £6 in my bank to last until payday. Uh-oh..

    The only reason I know the cheaper tickets are out as I was buy my dads tickets back from Bracknell - Reading to Darlington this morning.

    Got his tickets for coming down the week before so always get the cheapest fares.

    Just waiting on Christmas time ones coming out for my sister since she is going with OH to China (OH is chinese so going to see her parents)

    I'd love to get OH a canvas done with one of the pictures he has taken, would love to have some of his photography up in the house when we move out again.
