    Kittens are due to be spayed next month so this month's pay i'll save 30 for that, I have found a discounted vets which is good - they had all their jabs before i collected them from cats protection. If they keep growing (outwards and upwards) like they do I'll need a hoist to lift them! God help next door's dog.... laughing-smiley-014.gif

    Hi CA

    Thanks for sticking around, good luck to the kittens for next week.

    Is it a major supermarket where you buy from or a local store. We eat lots of pasta, pasta sauce and tuna and it would be really great to get them so cheap.

    TIA
