Well, we have a new dog walker from the 30th...

Went for a walk today, he was very confident handling Zara, she listened to him and all good.

And a massive saving of £100 per month as he is only charging £130 per calandar month when my current dog walker was 230-230 per month at static £10 per hour....

Need to recalculate everything now....heheh

If I could put up with the OkoPLus mess.... sigh.....perhaps I will stick to it....

Opened a 40 litre bag on the 20th March I think, still got half a bag left - that is with 4 cats that ONLY pee/poo indoors and at £23 per bag that i
s £11.50 per month rather then the £40 I was spending on Golden Grey... sighhhhhhh

Great news :j

Mind you, I am very puzzled by the amount of mess you seem to have with OKO as it seems far in excess of what I have! I give it a full change very two weeks, as I find by then it is starting to get dusty - is that what you do? I know you can't have them, but the hoods and the mats stop an awful lot of tracking - I only have a very small amount of bits on the floor every day, is there any way of you having any sort of mat to help?

My 4 jump out of the trays taking litter with them, than Zara walks over it taking it all over the place with her... it is absolutely insane...

Want to take Zara for a while? To test it with a dog around?

Ummm... I don't think I can - I thought I'd mentioned it before, but I've moved to Australia :rotfl::p

Great news about the dog walker GR, well done.
Are youi sure you need to use flea drops every month o them all? How about spraying the whole flat with Indorex or RIP which last a whole year and then using less flea drops??
Also....if you want to be very MSE with the Oko ( and this is not my tip but someone on PF ) when the tray starts getting fuller of the dusty bits, use a large fine metal sieve to put it all through, putting the litter back and discarding the dust. I have never actually done a 'full litter change' since I started with Oko a few months back, so no waste involved there.

Is that wise? think of all the bacteria & possible virus accumulation. Ever heard of FIP?

Revision again:


Cats worming drontal - around 1.5 per tablet,

Can you please tell me where you buy your Drontal XL tablets for £1.50 as the cheapest I have found is £1.94

I know, I know. That's the equivalent of a whole tin of beans a month :eek:

I have had them for YEARS! I'm going to try and work out how old they actually are because I'm sure goldfish don't live that long do they?
