Bollox to that! Bella does, however, like being outside helping. People comment on her stood by my side, looking on anxiously in case she misses some detail. I think it'll be HER that starts a valeting service!

I am so very sad...

poo bags, 10 of.(each 150 bags).
Deodorant, 6 of.
Toilet rolls 40f (each a 4 multi).
Dog food 48 tins.
Jumbones 12 twin packs.
Nescafe Massive jars, 4 of (buy them every time they are on offer in the Co-op).
Bleach, 4 of.

Fitting WAS the reverse of ...
