If I could have got reasonable priced insurance for Ben I would have taken it and been out of pocket, so far.

I enjoy putting the hampers together, I make the containers as well, last year they were peg bags complete with 12 dolly clothes pegs, this year I have not decided yet.Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18406981075860636289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2541083431029092303.post-92002708176954139152013-08-22T18:27:42.164+01:002013-08-22T18:27:42.164+01:00Glad to hear that Ben is doing better.

He is also on a wheat free diet, pet store has special wheat free food, pricey of course.<br />Three more sleeps, bet you can't wait. Have a great holiday.

We've just got our renewal notice for pet insurance. It's going up £2 a month this year, £24 in total. That seems like quite a steep jump, and Archie's only three with a clean bill of health. I don't think I'd cancel it though, the minute I did it would be Sod's law that I'd need to claim. Better not tempt fate. The Christmas hampers you make sound wonderful.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436932004631816039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2541083431029092303.post-38997218543319295852013-08-21T10:38:41.573+01:002013-08-21T10:38:41.573+01:00If it becomes a long term issue then I will, as hi...If it becomes a long term issue then I will, as his skin is so much improved he should not require further injections.
