Morning WW!
I gave up washing the dog, we take him to the groomer for a trim once every couple of months and that's his bath. Unless he gets really mucky but I avoid it for the reasons you listed. Plus my back hurts badly by the end of it.

Thanks for mentioning eBay, I have listed some shoes on vinted, might as well put them on the bay now I have the pictures anyway.

Congratulations on getting rid of the horrible debts , I sort of regret going to Uni because now I have this massive debt cloud over me, and the final year tutors left us high and dry for our research projects.

Oh, don't regret Uni! Granted with the pandemic the experience won't have been what it could have been. The training in critical rational thought will serve you well all your life though, and even although my degree is pretty rubbish is has always helped me getting jobs. 
And regarding the debt, well it only comes off after you earn a certain amount, and to me it's just another tax I never think about.
I hope your dissertation works out!

@Deni_debt-free_dreamer I used to get dragged into watching/monitoring the counts (for free!), I hated every second of breathing down the counters necks. I don’t envy you that job!
I never leave dog, apart from in her house or for a minute in the car if getting fuel…I think it’s a bit late to get her used to being left with a groomer. These days I don’t wash her as much as I should, it plays havoc with my back too @jokono. She’s not scared of it, but she gets fed up too quickly. In the end I had to squeeze in with her and keep closing the door when she popped it open with her nose. I’ve moved to a dog soap bar now as she is also reducing plastic, so it’s harder to foam up.  All the towelling down and shaking water has worn her out so she’s sleeping at my feet now. My t shirt is sopping, but I can’t go get another as it will wake MrWW 😖 Luckily I took my trousers off as I’m wise to that now 🤣

I just put my dog in the bath after me, although she’s only little. She especially likes it when I’ve used my Molton Brown bubble bath 🤣

That’s so cute. I’m sure baths are easier, but I can’t lift her in…50kg’s!

Oh haha WW - we have kept our Covid screens so we are in a protected bubble - we can't hear the observers and are safe from emissions
Glad your dog is also plastic free  I've been to the zero waste shop today and the library . I'm not surprised she doesn't get bathed often!!

love Deni

My dog is 9kg so is portable. 50kg isn’t 🤣

I have to admit to almost never bathing my dog - only if he's rolled in foxpoo basically. Otherwise it all dries and falls off and saves me any bother. However all my floors are tiled or wood, and my furniture is all secondhand as the cats savage it, so I'm not too worried about what mud will do to my house.
