I Got that Lovin' Feline
I have spent much of the last week looking for plastic lids to reseal tins with - specifically cat food tins so they don't stink out the fridge. Whilst I was sure Lakeland would have them, Wilkinson's was more convenient and have never let me down yet.
First time for everything.
They recommended Lakeland and Steamer Trading. No joy in Lakeland. They don't do them any more. Into the basement of Steamer Trading - and I get a webpage from someone who used to pack them for a living, but they are not stocked.
That leaves the department stores with kitchen sections - nothing in Debenhams, nada in Nason's, zilch in Fenwicks.
And while we're at it, zip in Tescos and a complete blank in Sainsburys. Walk to Morrisons or bus to ASDA?
I decide that a pet shop is called for - after all, I cannot be the only pet carer left with half eaten cans.
A pause for a delivery from Tesco - cat food for 96 days and litter for I hope 96. And a free Daily Hate Mail, which I handed back, but could have used to line the tray with. But I don't want the beasts to be put off their stride.
Wander down to pet shop - and they don't have, but can order for Thursday week. I think there's a Pets at Home or some such on the industrial estate. In the meantime, I try the hardware shop next door to the pet shop. They don't exactly have a whole section, but they sell multipacks with several sizes, for about the price I'd expected to pay for one.
Result.
Shop local.
I also have two catnip mice - which are studiously being ignored.
