    The lump is probably a cyst or similar but best to get it checked to be on the safe side.

    We are fairly certain it is nothing to worry about and we do think it is probably a cyst but we would rather it was looked at by the vet just to make sure.

    Makes sense to get it checked out. Hope all is what you expect.

    Good news from the vets. As expected it is a cyst and we just need to keep an eye on it.

    Even better news. The consultation was free. It was covered by our health plan 😃

    Good news all round then. Glad your mind has been put at rest. That’s a good health plan. We’ve got ones in place for our dog and cat that covers vaccinations, flea/worm treatment, annual check up and a percentage off consultation and treatments but not free consultations.

    I had forgotten we got one free consultation to be honest as well as his annual check up.

    Breakfast, lunch and dinner will be from stores though. Toast for breakfast, we have both taken our packed lunches to work and dinner tonight is lamb and rosemary burgers with sweet potato wedges, onion rings, garlic mushroom and corn on the cob.

    Today's jobs include:
    • vacuuming the house
    • vacuuming the van

    How's the office life mate?

    You off in the van tomorrow? Suspect you've got a long weekend too ha. 

    What was lamb burger like? I reckon I've asked this before actually lol but how does it compare to a beef burger. Quite fancy trying it but I'm not sure even though I like lamb just a bit unsure about a lamb burger lol probably had one before and didn't even know it.

    Good to hear re dog being ok. Is the plan one of the vets ones - I'd work out how much you're paying into it v what you're getting they can be a massive rip off. Vets are generally think I told you the story about the vet who ripped my wife off when our golden was a puppy. She realised she'd been mugged the minute she got away lol look back and laugh but utter waste of money.

    Settling back into office life. I have survived the first week :)

    The vets plan with the dog isn't that expensive. Works out at £11 per month and that covers his vaccinations and boosters, monthly flea and worm treatment, one annual health check, one annual vet consultation and discounts on further treatments. When you add up the separate parts it is cheaper to pay the monthly plan.

    The lamb burgers were very tasty. Get some on your new BBQ.

    We are heading off to Whitby tomorrow for a couple of nights.Expect it will be very busy.
