  • Morning all, looking a bit bleak down here! Going out to festival in Hyde Park today (not very moneysaving I know but it was a birthday present for OH) so hoping it clears up a bit. Going to do a picnic and a couple of drinks in the park before we go in so that we are not paying their prices for food and drink once we are in.

    Hope everyone else has a nice day planned!

    Morning

    Weather is pants here... booooooo... and the cats wouldnt let me sleep in, so i got up, and now guess who are asleep on the bed :rolleyes: Sodlets.

    I have just ordered a massive bulkload of cat litter (its about £1 per bag cheaper than in a shop) and some cat food im going to try the boys on. The guy said if i order 10 boxes i can get it for £1 cheaper per box than in the shop... fingers crossed the boys like it.

    Was meant to go to a fun day/festival thing on the prom today but my sister is refusing as its miserable, so another day in doors for me!

    Hey Jen

    Its called Natures Menu. Because bengals are well known for having sensitive tums I asked a friend of mine what she feeds hers. She gives them Royal Canin biscuits with a bit of the natures menu mixed in with them. That way they get the biscuits which are healthy and a bit of meat. Occassionaly she gives them some chicken mince (which i have also ordered) and some fish (which i give mine too).

    Its from www.mobilepetfoods.co.uk. They deliver it which is exactly what I need.

    I just worked it out and i dont think it will :rolleyes: Unless they share a pouch in the morning and one in the evening. If its mixed with the biscuits it will bulk it out, and if i leave the biscuits out in a bowl then that may encourage them to eat more of them. If that works it will probably cut £10-15 of my monthly bill, which is better than nowt, and it will be better for them in the long run.

    We shall see. :rolleyes: Bloomin cats!

    that is great if it is better for them in the long run.

    i have just phoned the women who won the tickets and told her husband she is a time waster and i am relisting them! he was not happy with her but i don't care!
    i will relist them later as i want them to end at 8pm ish how may days do you think i should list them? i think 3 days as the performace is on the 18th so that leaves time for payments postage etc
