    I did see that Skint Yet Again, I think mine was definitely triggered by the jabs, whether they were already there and triggered by the weight loss who knows.

    Sorry for the lack of updates, been spending all my time with puppy :) She is utterly gorgeous, learning very quickly. Today she has had a bath and is currently asleep next to me on the sofa. I bought a dog shampoo from Sainsburys that smells just like baby powder, it's lovely.

    End of the month banking is looking healthy, managed to have a bit left over which has covered her 6 month puppy pack from the vets and a bit extra to go in the savings pot.
