    Knew there was something I was going to say :o

    Had to take Maisie to the vet - she had a lump on her nose .....

    I thought she'd pulled a whisker out and it started pimple sized ..... and grew .... and grew :eek:

    Didn't seem to be bothering her too much but it wasn't looking that pleasant so bit the bullet and went ...... £122 later :eek: - it was drained and she's got anti-biotics for a week, which came to around £70

    I then got some Advo*cate which is supposed to work well for harvest mites as the poor lamb's chewing her feet constantly :( so that was another £33 .....

    THEN when I got home and looked at the statement - I've been beeping well overcharged :mad:

    She had her booster in July and I had a 1/2 price offer from P@H so I phoned & my vets said they'd match it. So I went & paid 1/2 price ...... and now the other 1/2 re-appeared on my bill .... 3 months later :mad:

    Just wait until the morning ........


    BUT ..... it gets better ....... drum roll please (new post needed I think)

    Placed an order for some bits for Mia (mentioned earlier) but never got the dispatch notice - and cancelled it and re-ordered elsewhere so ...... got home tonight .....

    And there's a beeping email from the 1st companies courier saying it's being delivered tomorrow :mad: AND

    that it needs signed for :mad:

    Even though I phoned before I ordered to check they would leave without a signature AND the beeping order's supposed to have been cancelled :mad:

    Another phone call needed in the morning :(
