    Wow Beanie, 30 years in your house is such a long time! Weve been here 11 though and it feels like literally a couple as time just flies.

    Hope you manage to get a good deal on you glasses xx

    I use the cashback sites for cat food, they tend to have offers for first time buyers. Thankfully my fluffball likes Asda and Aldi wet food, so that's a bonus. The Asda pouches work out about half the cost of most of the main brands. She would eat the Asda dry but it was quite reluctant, and a couple of other people on here had similar issues with it.



    I am always in favour of new adorable fluffballs!

    These fluffballs have settled in well so far.
    Still quite hard work keeping them separated sometimes(My best boy does need his own space) & dealing with the litter~~yuk.
