    Another rant coming .... forgive me :o


    Online order saga continues ......

    Phoned up at lunchtime (company 1) and said I was confused as the order was cancelled last Friday but I'd got notification from the courier it was coming today ..... guy confirmed it was cancelled & said he'd email to confirm refund

    He also said I was the 2nd person today so obviously something's gone wrong somewhere as they're automated messages .....

    So ... 1/2 an hour later - got a text from courier saying it was arriving between 4:20 and 5:20 ......

    Got home and ..... it's beeping well in the garage :mad: AND I've got the email confirming the order's been cancelled and a refund issued :(

    MEANTIME, company 2 (who I've ordered from loads & always deliver quickly) haven't yet sent a dispatch notice ..... :mad:

    What do I do?

    Very quickly ...... Rosa - if you're on one of these monthly things & get flea & worming stuff ever month (which I know no one will ever use that much!)

    Still collect them - if you don't use them I know any rescue would be really grateful for them (and they have been paid for so .....

    I must go up to the local shelter - have been meaning to ring and ask if they could use spare stuff left from the last vets so glad to hear they will :) also have a huge litter tray that could go to them now I am converted to Cleansteps.



    Beanie, here's the link for the P@H vets plan. http://www.companioncare.co.uk/special-offers.html?offer=2841

    They won't put their prices online, only in the store, but IIRC it worked out to about £50 for the year's treatments once you costed the vaccinations and an extra consultation. It may not be the very cheapest option but I like the principle and would use that vets anyway, so am supporting it. I would point out that the 'perks' are one off vouchers though, not throughout the year.

    I must get little mog's claws trimmed as I'm sure they are too long... she's not going to like it :eek:

    Very quickly ..... very stressed ......


    Managed to cancel 2nd online order :T - tried phoning the 1st lot (3 times) and couldn't get through so will wait for them to contact me!


    Anyway ...... Stressed to the hilt - have no idea what I'm going to do

    I'm having to bring Mia home :( she's taken to attacking my pal & her son :( AND peeing everywhere :( (which she's never ever done before) .....

    Short term (as not much time to sort anything by Saturday) - I'm going to have to clear out the spare room & put her in there ...... long term who knows:eek:

    Really disappointed - thought she'd settle & love having 1-2-1 attention

    Upset for all 3 of them - Archie's come out his shell so much in the past fortnight & its been lovely to see the "old him" reappear - worried how he'll cope:(

    He's also only been going out for a couple of hours from when I get up to go to work - so he's obviously been staying out all day to avoid her .....


    One of these days I've write something positive on here :o

    Maybe it's good to get all the carp out the way so I can start afresh next year :rotfl:

    Oh dear.
    2013 has certainly not been a great year for a lot of us :(
    No wonder you are stressed.
