Clever cat Mine open the greenhouse and sleep in there. I gave up and put some old pillows at the end of the potting bench in the end.. My mortgage free diary: https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6498069/whoops-here-comes-the-cheese

Not sure when it will arrive but it's earmarked for finishing the dining room then hopefully the garden/outside of the house. Need the house repointing at some stage plus a new back gate as Mr SA has rammed his scooter into it and wrecked it. The list is endless.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)0

Can you rinse dog poo off it sorry I have dogs but wondered about it
I had artificial grass in my last house. As long as it is well laid, with a good sub base, wee should just filter through. poo just lifts off (my two are raw fed so we rarely have sloppy poo) but you can always hose it down.
Once I have worked out what I need to spend on our current home anything left over will be spent on a new artificial lawn for here. With two, shortly to be three dogs, it really helps to reduce the muddy paw prints, the need for additional baths and saves my sanity!:j Proud Member of Mike's Mob :j0 -

I have artificial grass - it's only a small lawn and cost about £500 last year - there where cheaper grasses but this one feels lovely - he put all the base and sand down and He did a great job - we don't have a dog though so can't help with that.January spends - £587.580

That's Monday done.
Yesterday was NSD 1/12, grocery spends today of £5.57 in Mr S plus a small Mr M delivery £37.90 after staff discount - mainly for Mr SA's beer as he was worried he was running out, so added a few more bits to make up the £40 minimum spend. Have booked another delivery for Friday trying to keep to £40. So have already spent half the grocery budget but shouldn't need anything else until Friday.
Tonight's dinner was the other half of the butternut squash risotto with a huge portion of salad using up what's left from the weekend.
It was a lovely Spring-like day today, felt so much warmer than last week thank goodness.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)0 -
