    :) Would you mind saying where you saw it online? We could do with getting some for the family mogs.

    I paid about £26 for four vials of flea treatment for our mogs at the vets - same stuff cost £10 from petsupermarket.co.UK.

  • Hiya All

    thanks Jackie O for the tip

    Candy girl - only caution about on line is to check that it is actually the right stuff and not a very close imitation. (sorry if you already know this and I'm teaching my grandmother how to suck eggs - whoops have just potentially offended you again - not intentional but humorous so I'll leave it there and hope you get the real meaning!! ?? And that you have a good sense of humour! :A

    NBI today - as I declared I am trying to up my NSDs till end of month - nearly went out and bought lettuce today as am almost out. Then I remembered 'Italian Salad ' as we used to call it: cold cooked brocoli; lettuce; olives; a lemon and olive oil vinaigrette - touch of garlic if liked!! It eeks out lettuce beautifully! Am also out of oatcakes but have Hugh FW recipe for them so I will try that out tomorrow!

    Have looked into the mortgage thing and might be able to save myself £100 per month. Only thing not clear is cancellation fees. If and when I move - also criteria as am now self employed. Also if it is transferable (i.e. if I dont get full amount for this place could I transfer it to another?) Problematic. Think am gonna make a list of questions - using the points on Martin's list + a few special to me and see what my 3 favourites can offer!

    NBIing onward!

    I've used this site for Frontline and for Drontal and found them very good.

    Over here, apart from being expensive, both Frontline and Advantage have stopped working. If you have the same problem, I've just used 'the new kid on the block', Comfortis, which does need a vet prescription :(, but does work. My poor cats have for the first time in a couple of years been totally flea free :D

  • Hiya All

    Glad you saw the funny side - Candy Girl!:A

    Today fancied something nice (ie cakeish) but am low on butter - then i remembered that i had seen a recipe for yogurt scones! have loads of yog -so i made some and they were yum!! So, as in keeping with my intention it was another NSD for me!! Definitely NBI.

    Also NBI in that I am back to my frugal cooking ways as am back on my own ergo - microwaved carrots - re warmed brocoli - and used up some bread crumbed fish. Lunch was a sandwich with YS bread from feezer and the last of the ham. I have 4 eggs left and wonder how long I can go before shopping? Have some free faller apples to process and turn into a an oaty topped crumble (less butter again and am now out of whole meal flour!)

    Must get on with e-bay tomorrow! So much stuff to get rid of and CS have had 2 bag fulls already :rotfl: And i need the cash at moment!
