    Late but I was going to suggest the Catsan packs that come already in a tray liner as it makes clean up easy. Maybe some newspaper on the floor around it too??  

    And Zooplus used to be decent for ordering online and delivering which is helpful with the heavy stuff.

    Yes, I can't remember who on here suggested Zooplus to me but I use it and  get cashback plus they have a reward points system and last time I ordered WattyDog ended up with a free toy and a free bag of treats too!
    Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

    In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!

    It sounds like their is a good chance it is the antihistamines, it is worth trying different active ingredients. In my house we all take citrine hydrochloride but my sister finds it makes her sleepy so she has something different.

    Once you have found a formula that works it is worth buying in bulk. We buy our generic  antihistamines in bulk from an online pharmacy which saves us a fortune, it worth shopping around as the prices vary.

    Thanks @Baileys_Babe. Definitely worth experimenting now before they become a necessity. I have been taking Loratadine for the past few years. I will have a chat with a pharmacist and see what their thoughts / suggestions are.

    Would something simple like a chamomile tea bag on a bite work for you or is it the pollen??
