It's an option that costs £150. They will dispose of the body but you have to pay for that too and you don't get anything back at all. I got an upsettingly small light box that I have totally not opened yet. I could actually have had a fancy wooden one but I'm going to dig him into his favourite sunny flowerbed, when I can bear to. Haven't got rid of his own bed yet.

Hi Una

Thank you for being on this journey with me, I am proud and chuffed to count you as an amazing friend; so supportive and caring.
Who know's where the next year will take us?

This year we've started prepping our house for sale with a view to move to Norfolk (UK) to be near friends in our dotage. So lots of exercise is penciled in emoticon , just as well I've kept the ST going and I reckon we would not even be considering this move had it not been for the op! emoticon
Stay with me, we can grow old together emoticon emoticon

Have a good week hun emoticon

Thanks for the comments on my new kitten blog. My black cat who died had thyroid problems for the last 3 years and ended up on pills twice a day. Although my husband would have been fine without getting another cat he knew how much I missed our old cat and is delighted with the new arrivals

a long soak would be great, can I come round to yours for it? No hot water here till I get together 3 (count them) grand for the new boiler. I went to the gym and stood under their hot shower for 20 minutes . . . I can't USE the gym of course because of the sore foot and pinged back . . . Just the logistics of all this are killing me.
