    Have you measured / weighed her ( of course this’ll happen at medical appointments!) does she definately need the five point one? Not sure if you’ve tried a want ad on gumtree and seller sites?

    I’ll ask around but most people chuck them away as they get so disgusting!

    Edit: will her dla money cover it?

    I've ordered from her DLA money when it came in. It's been with courier 5 days and it still says delayed at depot hence me emailing and chasing. I'll see if it updates by Tuesday am and if not I'll request a refund I think.

    She's over 15kg? But I can't seem to find a true answer. The ones in mum's car currently used by the older two are from asda and state 4 year plus? But I wonder if because she's over 15kg this is okay? Such a midfield.
    They don't have a harness but do have a high back.

    It's my own fault I was questioning the purchase as it's only used when we go away really other than the odd time we go to the Children's hospital further away. We walk on a day - day basis.

    It was quite an easy day until youngest decided to bang on a pouch of yogurt I'd made :eek: All up the curtains/walls even the ceiling got a share :o :rotfl: I can laugh now it's clean again.

    It's fake grass - another stupid thing I HATE. Yes I've hoovered it too :cool: It drives me insane. I thought it would be easier than real grass :cool:

    I was thinking of getting fake grass - so you wouldn't recommend it? Only the dog has more or less killed ours.
    I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)
  • I think it's a love it or hate it situation. We are surrounded by trees, so at this time it's constantly covered in leaves and spinning jennys (don't know the real name :o)

    However I had the same problem with the dog killing the real grass, along with the mud etc that side is 100% better.

    I just like to keep it with no leaves etc on :o

    Hope this makes sense. Its really easy to hose down too. I spray with disinfectant as there's lots of cats around here and obviously the kids play out there.
