hi all,

been off on a tangent......

It seems that during the lockdown people desperately left really good stuff at the end of their drives.  I know because I got some excellent bargains !

However, things have gone back to normal.

One bright spot is that I was accused the other day of 'always finding money' !  (pennies)

Well...........I'm always looking for it !

(I am a womble after all..........)

Huntress, a big kiss to Zeus from me.  X

love to all

so glad it worked out so well for you.

Mum didn't know what to do with old washing machine so we put it at the end of the drive.  It was gone in 20 minutes.  I hope it went toa home 'cos it still worked.

BALA so good to hear from you. weve had a very up and down summer. we lost our eldest furry Beau in july and Zeus became very depressed, hes perked up now but has been diagonosed with arthritus, so walks are very slow some days. still brings home lots of bits tho!!! also our coin pot has shot up to £22.80 so far this year!!!

My coin find total still remains at 7p

bit_by_bit

My roadkill acount is 31p this year but twice in the last 10 years I have found £20 in notes. I have had to lay off the wombling because the side of out house has been like ajunk yard. Overall though, so far, I have made about  £65 this year selling wombled items that I didn't really ned but would have ended up in land fill.

Just been to my local tip with some stuff & saw a ceramic plant pot. I need one for some winter pansies so I asked if they'd let me have it and they said yes. I then walked past a couple of wooden shoe racks. Been wanting one for a while. I thought i'd be pushing my luck by asked if I could take those too and they let me

Oh, am so sorry Huntress

And Zeus,poor tender heart.  With Tiggy's arthritus I swear by the monthly Librella injections.  They are not cheap but make a massive massive difference.   She doesn't get them every 4 weeks as she should because of 2 reasons.  The first is that I am not always home every 4 weeks (Mum related stuff) and the cost.

I am on the hunt for rosehyp.  Mum had 5 children, not one of us giving her problems with teething because we were given bottles of water with a spoon of rosehyp.  It's what they did then.  Now we know why, great anti inflamatory.

Don't know how you feel about pain killers but your vet can give you prescription for Metacam for buying off internet.  I try to buy all of Tiggy's meds this way.

But I bet you know all this.........

I'm sure you know that you can make your own rosehip syrup.
Not sure how easy that is but I assume there are some hips almost ripe now?

seems all you need are the hips and sugar
