One of our dogs is having a fatty lump removed.
The quote? Nearly £1K. FFS.
I told the vet when we were discussing the op. that were not going to pay for all the bells and whistles.
Looked in greater detail at the quote today, looked all the drugs up on tinternet. Couldn't believe it.
Sent an email querying what they were doing pre-surgery/induc.
Attached the detailed bill from French vet's spaying! Where they did none of this!
Don't expect to be flavour of the month tomoz when dropping her off!

Ours is a three storey town house ... it's a long way to drop a windie ... and a stretch to silly cone the top of the frames ...

Makes sense.
Ours may have been done in the days before working on ladders became illegal. Only two storeys and the uppers could have been siliconed off a ladder, prolly. (7 of them).
Hope it all goes OK!!

All mine were done from ground level ---------------------- might be something to do with living in a bungalow.

That’s nuts cost.
Knock him/her out cut it off stitch it up.

We had our boys cut off and it was nothing like that cost.

...that I bit the bullet and after my lunch I went up to the ~~old bag's~~ MIL's place with herself to see what might be wrong with her water heating.
Open circuit across the plug (Fuse had gone?). Plug she plugs in is all browned and starting to show signs of being burnt. Measured across the wires and c.20 Ohms so the immersion had not gone.
Pulled the fuse out and put a new one I had taken with me in and then plugged it in the socket (also burnt) and after a few minutes the plug was warm to the touch so it must be passing current.
I set a kitchen timer for 35 minutes and told her to run a hot tap and call us to let us know. Is all I am prepared to do right now.

Burnt

Thats no good. !!!

The French vet charged €240 for the Spaying.
Right at the beginning of the convo with the vet he admitted we could knock quite a bit off it by not having the pre op blood tests and also quite a bit of other stuff, so he will not be too surprised.
But we really wish this had happened in France as they are so much cheaper and just as good.
Did you get yours done in Buglaria?

Been yet another lovely day!
Fascias and soffits all done, blokes gone, now we just have to pay the bill and await the scaffold bashers coming to remove their bits.
Think we might hang on to some of the money until the scaffold has gone, as they joked it might take till Christmas.
Have a lovely evening folks.

If its still there next week how much do you want for it.

When we had ours done, they did it all from either ground level or in the case of upstairs, from inside.
We had replacement Upvc. They were replacing the original single glazed wood frame ones.
So rather interested in the need for scaffolding. Perhaps they are made in such a way that they simply have to be removed from the outside.
Oops forgot to mention that our house is timber-framed, I bet that's the difference.

The chap across the road measured all his own windows 6 in total got a company to make them
& when they turned up they were all wrong as they were all too small, he measured them from
outside. 3.5k down the pan what a t!t lol Company came out an done it properly. I got all his
windys that didnt fit & sold em.

Yes I know.
Its developed into a High-Resistance joint and gets HOT.
I shall pass the issue along to HER Son and suggest he attends to it.

It will give the rascal something to do on a Sunday while his 90+ YO mother is making him a dinner.
