Hi,


We are going away for 4 weeks in August and im desperately trying to find someone who can take care of our very hungry Guinea pig. Anyone know someone who looks after small furries? Perhaps you're thinking of getting a guinea pig and would like to foster ours to see how you get on??? We would supply all his food and bedding.


Gins isn't the most entertaining pet, he loves to eat and well thats about it. He can be handled and probably could do with a bit more interaction than he is currently receiving.


Ideas, suggestions and recommendations gratefully received.

You could look into Trusted Housesitters [www.trustedhousesitters.com]. I came across them in a Cats Protection magazine at the Neighbourhood Vet (see attached for article). I am just about to use them for the fist time - have met my house/pet sitter already.

Ah, that's the thing - you and the housesitter both pay an annual subscription and then they sit for free! It is a mutual exchange of free accomodation for looking after pet/s and watering the garden if needed. Also there is access to a vet advice line included in the subs. There are some housesitters who seem to pretty much travel the world with freelance jobs/businesses that can be run from anywhere. If you find a sitter who would like to ask to sit you can, otherwise you answer responses to your post. There are a lot of sitters based in the UK, but also from all over the world.

If you're happy for someone just to come in daily and feed him and give him a bit of a run around then you could try www.thecatsitter.co.uk

She's local and although we've not used her ourselves, friends have (for their cats) and said she was good.

      Help purchasing a car please

      By Alex66 · Posted

      Hey everyone, I’m currently on the hunt for a second-hand car and thought I’d reach out to the forum for some advice. I’m particularly looking for a U-LEZ compliant automatic hatchback, so if anyone is selling or knows of a good deal, I’d love to hear about it! Also, if you have any general tips on buying a second-hand car — things to watch out for, red flags, or recommendations on trustworthy dealerships — I’m all ears! Any advice would be really appreciated. Thanks in advance!

      I had the covid vaccination at TJ a couple of weeks ago or so and checking the card they gave me it says Spikevax which is Moderna.  Edit: just seen you had your jab in the pharmacy whereas I had mine in the first floor premises arranged by ECPS. I have heard/read that all vaccinations are Moderna this time round.

      I've just checked on my NHS app, it shows that I've had the vaccine but doesn't record which it was. But then, it didn't last autumn and I was then given the record of what I'd had. Presumably this is a cost saving measure. I never get details of what flu vaccine I get or who made it.

      Last year Krystals were not using Pfizer, if you wanted it that had to be paid for, think it was £100.  they should have given you some documentation saying which brand it was.
