Another busy day at work today.
I have to pop back down to the vets this morning and get them to correct the Animal Health Certificate we picked up last night. It isn't stamped in all the required places. Good job we checked it, I nearly put it straight in the van last night. Not entirely happy about this to be honest. But at least we caught it before we got to Folkestone!

Good job you checked the AHC. I think that's awful with the prices they charge for completing those things.
Have a great holiday! I'm jealous because we had to change the dates of our holiday due to hospital appointments and can't now go until November - we should have been going next Tuesday!

All sorted with the AHC now. Going to put it in the van tonight and chalk it off as a bad experience. We certainly won't use them again for the AHC. Now that we have the issue with his vaccination records sorted out we will use one of the click and collect services for the AHC next time. They are a lot cheaper (50% cheaper) and with the volume of them that they do they certainly should know what they are doing!!0
