I tend to get my Frontline from Fetch (but that's because I get an Ocado shop), but I have shopped around for the best deal for the prescription stuff - that way you can take advantage of the intro cashback % on £co! I've used Viovet and PetDrugsOnline - the latter were very efficient and the best price for what I wanted. HTH.
Good luck with the last Ebay item!Mortgage free 16/06/2023! £132,500 cleared in 11 years, 3 months and 7 days

Morning AFK, yes we had a bit of snow but it didn't stick.
DH is working all weekend, so we will be going out fior a walk this morning to blow off the cobwebs. The children want to feed the ducks
Yesterday was a NSD, today may be it just depends if we opt for a spot of lunch out or not.

Seconding Thermadvix suggestions re online. I started using on line when the neighbours cat was calling in and was flea invested. I couldn't use prescription treatments as she was not ours but the on line no prescript stuff worked and shopping around I found some good deals.Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became
In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!0 -
Morning All
Had a lie in until 7, unheard of in this house! DH was meant to be working all weekend but managed to get finished yesterday. He was chilled to the core when he got home as he had been working outside all day, with heavy aluminium parts which were like ice.
Yesterday was a NSD, today will be too, making in three on the trotI had entered a competition to win a free haircut at a local salon, logged on to my emails last night to find out I had won, which was a lovely surprise :j so I will telephone and book that in tomorrow.
I must must remember to package up my Music Magpie items, they are coming to collect them tomorrow

Not a great start to the week. Poor DS has picked up a bug and has been vomiting since 5am. So we are quarantined and my washing machine is in overdrive!
He has just nodded off so I am trying desperately to catch up with some paid stuff and financial admin. Have found some more gold to sell, which is great. Totted up the figures and the 20s are feasible in the next fortnight, which is great.
Feeling a bit flat today - most unlike me xMFW

Oh no - hope DS gets better soon. My two are just getting over a bug. Think it must be that time of year, alot of the schools by us have reported outbreaks. xx0

Thanks MM89. He is chomping a banana as I type so hopefully it is a short lived thing.
Lord knows what came over me, but I have listed 4 bits on ebay. They are the real dreg ends of potential sellables, but if they did go that would be around £20 in the pot. All on buy it now so let's see what happens.
The sun has come out - fabulous - and I have OPd £100 so I really must paint a smile on my faceoh and today is yet another NSD, the joys of being quarantined at home!

Your house must be "Heaven" in that you can only find 4 bits to list on the bay. I have listed over 30 between yesterday and today and still have loads . . . and loads . . . and loads :eek: Sold 14 so far this month, so that equates to roughly 1 a day
Shame about DS - hope its not catching and the rest of you are all feeling fine.Always have 00.00 at the end of your mortgage and one day it will all be 0's :dance:MF[STRIKE] March 2030[/STRIKE] Yes that does say 2030 :eek: Mortgage Free 21.12.18 _party_Now a Part Timer from 27.10.190 -
AFK - I followed the Marie Kondo method of decluttering last year and it made an enormous difference to our house. Also, having two small children it is easy to get overwhelmed with stuff so we are constantly churning things out when they are no longer in use.
Two items sold so £12 in the pot, duly OPd, so that's £112 today. Not too shabby for a Monday xMFW
