All I can say to the vet bill is: thank goodness you have a pot for that! But the overall report for the dog is a nice one, and it's good the skin condition is now treatable, I hope it all settles down quickly.
That's very good value on the cards! Do you have to have an existing account? I just signed up and can't find that particular offer though I can see others that look tempting.

They sent me an email as I’m a previous customer so you might get something tomorrow. It’s only for this weekend.Cherryfudge said:All I can say to the vet bill is: thank goodness you have a pot for that!

Cherryfudge, it is showing at the bottom of each greeting card in pink for me - 11 for £10. I went to the website, then greeting cards, then animals. The individual price is £2 but under the add to basket is a pink banner saying 11 for £10 HTH. .

😀😀😀there are two picture hooks on the wall in DDs old room and everytime I go in there I think it’s either a moth or a spiderSun_Addict said:Morning all.
Back to work today but WFH so enjoyed my coffee and book time. When I walked into my little home office this morning and put the lamp on I noticed a small shape on the wall and thought what the heck is that! Approached it carefully in case it was a moth and realised as I got closer it was the picture hook where I hang my calendar. I took down last year's and forget to replace it with this year's. Must be losing the plot 🤣🤣
Yesterday was a NSD and today will be the same.
Today's exercise is dog walking later this morning, a Pilates session on the FitOn app and live Zumba tonight. Still waiting to hear about the new live classes on the WW app to replace the ones where the instructor has left, hoping they're going to start up next week.
Tonight's dinner is a portion of lentil ragu from freezer stocks with pasta. Determined to get those freezer and cupboard stocks down.Original Debt Owed Jan 18 = £17,630 Paid To Date = £6,510 Owed = £11,1203 -
How funny that you mention loft insulation and I’ve just posted about investigating the same thing today. I didn’t think to look at grants though but Iwas aiming to do it myself with sheep woolOriginal Debt Owed Jan 18 = £17,630 Paid To Date = £6,510 Owed = £11,1202

I’ve been sent a form to fill in as they think I qualify. You need to look on Gov.UK. Mr SA thinks the insulation is fine but he’s going back years since he last saw it.Onebrokelady said:How funny that you mention loft insulation and I’ve just posted about investigating the same thing today.

I'm not seeing it on mine but I will check my emails in case I'm missing anything there. It could be I have to confirm something before I can order. I think a bit of sunshine is good for frugal living. (Cranky40)
