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.

      No. The pool changing rooms are unaffected.   The gym changing rooms (aka dry side) are being refurbished.

      Councillor McAsh defects to the Greens

      Thanks for the link Dave. For clarity, the document shows that he receives the standard basic allowance all councillors get and a Senior Responsibility Allowance commensurate with the post he held. He claims no other allowance or any expenses as far as I can see... which makes me wonder what your point might be?

      At Forrest Hill is there a wall at both ends? Looks like one end is steps on the website.

      What’s the difference? There’s only one type of changing room for the ladies at least.      Women’s Dryside Changing Room Temporary Closure from 2 March Works start in the women’s dryside changing rooms on 2 March for approximately 3 weeks. Improvements will include: Full redecoration of the changing room Refurbished shower areas New benches Male Dryside Changing Room Temporary Closure – end March Once complete, the male changing rooms will then be refurbished. During this time: Please use the lockers in the gym Toilets are available in the wetside changing rooms
