@Cue - we have been looking at Nabru too. How did you find the assembly - is it straightforward? What do you think about the quality?

It was quite a process but we got a pretty large sofa. Quality is fine, it’s sturdy and they do have videos of them being jump tested so I imagine they’d survive kids - and even if they didn’t you can find the bit of wood, pull it out and get a replacement anyway. It all just slots together.

Direct pizza is still going but the largest pizza they do nowadays is 20". They claim it's the largest in Stafford and comes round or square!!!

I have a very hazey memory of buying two 24" pizzas for the price of one once only to find the boxes wouldn't fit in my fridge so we had to scoff most of them and plate the rest :)

Not sure if already mentioned but Park House vets are taking on the old Lloyds Bank on Lichfield road....

Park House are the Vets I use for my pooch. I have always been pleased with their service, but certainly judging by the amount I have passed across the desk, I can see how they are affording the refurb of the old bank! I am a tight wad, and she is my first dog, so I may be out of touch with the cost of veterinary services!

Basic things such as antibiotics usually cost me around £90 for the consultation and prescription.
on average every time i walk into a vets its around £100.

sounds a lot but if your pet needs to be referred to a specialist it can cost a lot more , my last bill for an MRI scan alone cost £2000 :eek:

Exactly, I know in many cases the drugs don't actually cost that much...

We would potentially use them if they opened there. We current use vets 4 pets and whilst we don't have an issue, having somewhere in walking distance would be good.

Also a change would be good for our dog. It's clear that our ex racing greyhound has some historical trauma with vet people given her reaction to them trying to give an injection or kennel cough vaccination over the last year. She goes from relative dopey dog into the crazed birch from hell....

We've always used Park House and whilst they seem expensive the service is excellent and they don't charge for unnecessary treatment.

Park House struck our elderly dog off purely through spite. I use the Island Vets for our latest dog now. I would never use Park House now.
