    Mum paid for my dog to have her nails cut as they were in a bit of a state. Can't manage to take her for walks anymore y'see,so her nails were getting long and starting to coil.

    Sorted out my overflowing, bulging handbag today and found an envelope (in a little secret zipped pocket) with 2 old £20 notes in :T:T - looks like a trip to the bank is in order :D.

    After my DS and DDIL had their 'mad hatter' themed tea-party, they were going to return the china back to the charity shops. I had first dibs though. I am now the proud owner of a delightful rose and gold decorated china coffee pot, four cups, sugar bowl and milk jug. We have already used them to enjoy a potful of hot chocolate - perfect.

    Also kept a few other nice pieces. The charity shop will be also getting some of my unwanted stoneware mugs and other items. Maybe someone will enjoy using them

    Picked some blackberries, got some sweetcorn from the allotment for tea. Oh and the other day I got a small brand-new-looking plastic dog bed out of a skip (the cat loves it!)

    That's a nice find - lucky kitty

    Could you not get some clippers and cut them your self with some help from someone.

    I clip my rabbits nails. Would cost me about a tenner a time at the vets. Think my clippers cost approx £5.

    Saves time and hassle and money.

    Very please with what came my way today...

    Went to local Co Op (if i had gone to MrT I would have spent £20!) to get DW tablets as that was all I needed... Got whoopsied fresh prawns (supper last night and snack for DD today) and when I went to pay for them, the lady in the shop went and got me a second pack of DW tabs saying that they were 2for1 offer :D I didn't notice on the display so if she hadn't been there, I would have lost out!!!
