Same here Px are free for over 60s thank goodness but dental charges give me toothache Smile first find an NHS dentist, but we're lucky P&I are with a really good practice. I believe dentists get a fairly raw deal from NHS funding, it's a shame, everything seems to be going to pot.

IN yesterday came a Cafetiere - a bigger one than the single cup one I've been using for my herb tea. Its good because, if I've boiled too much water, I can just add it to the pot. I haven't drunk coffee for about a month now - just Free herb tea - either given or from the garden.
IN today came about 5kg of dog food, some dog chews and 3 tubs of meat.

IN today came a herb pot, with 4 little openings on the sides for the herbs. It even came with a bag of compost inside it - an unwanted present that had been stuck in the garage and forgotten, apparently!
Tomorrow I'm picking up some hamster cages (don't ask). Wink

I've no idea what they're like but there maybe about 8 of them. Apparently the owner used to run a hamster/mouse rescue and these are temporary cages, not big enough for a permanent home.
I'm hoping to be able to use the wire top bits as crop protectors, maybe using the bases to propagate seedlings in with the tops on to keep the GH mice away.

IN came this pile of cages for mice, hamsters and gerbils. One of them is a gerbilarium!!!
Also collected a load of food to top up the Moneyless Chicken's Pantry. Packets of couscous, rice, noodles and some baby food that I'm giving to the dogs. From the freezer, packets of chicken, mince, bacon, fish and bread rolls. Plus a random assortment of toiletries and cleaning stuff
