I have an unopened 7kg bag of Origen going spare. It's in date until August 09. I have offered it to my local rescue but despite leaving a number of messages they have not bothered to call me back. I have also offered it by PM to a member of this site who is involved in rescue but again, no answer. Personally, I think this is simply rude but there we are. As my recent foot op did not go as planned, I cannot walk at present and cannot therefore post the bag, so if anyone wants it, they will need to come to Rochester to get it. If no-one shouts within a week, it's going in the bin, which is a shame as there is absolutely nothing wrong with it (belatedly discovered from a trial pack that it doesn't agree with Dot).

I'm nowhere near or I'd take it! Hope someones close enough to make use of it. (And I agree, a quick phone call is only polite. :))
-
Tis the same as me, I have an opened tub of puppy powder and no rescue got back in touch with me after I phoned them, he ho :tired:
-
Where in the UK are you ? If you are anywhere near me I will gladly take it

I can't walk, I'm in intractable pain and I don't have a car and frankly, I am tired of trying to contact people who can't even manage basic civility. So no, I'm not really inclined to start racking up my phone bill. It's here for whoever wants to pick it up. That's it.

Rochester, as per my first message.

ooops - yet another "blonde" moment - sorry
Unfortunately you are miles away from me - could you contact Zoo Plus to see if they will take it back for you (I know they can collect) you could ask them for a credit note and buy Dot something she likes.

I did think about that at the time but (and this is really, honestly true!) I thought that I could do a rescuer or a cattery a favour with it. I read far more than I post on here and I am conscious of the huge effort that people go to for cats, while I do nothing. I know this sounds God awful Bono-ish slush but it was what I was aiming for. I gave away something else to a rescue member a while ago and (and this IS annoying) I would have given her the food as well but I still thought that the rescue I had spoken to was going to come back to me!
Sharon has told me that Blackcat's local, so I will PM her.

Hi Cath, sorry to hear that you are poorly- I hope Dot is looking after you :hug: If you can hang on to it for a couple of weeks until I am on school hols, I would like it please. It is a little way out but worth it for my bubbas as they is big piggywinkles and will be very happy at a lovely big bag of food! If you are desperate to get rid of it this week though then I totally understand :)
Well wishes, Debs and the boys x

I hope Dot is looking after you
Ha!! Fat chance!
I have PMed someone else who might be interested as well. I didn't come straight to you because, frankly, I didn't think you would want to flog back round t'motorway after the nightmare journey last time. I am being dragged back into Guys tomorrow and prolly won't get back online until Saturday, so I will see if she's replied by then. Otherwise, it's all yours! And you can combine its collection with pre-Christmas trip to Bluewater - AAARRRRGGGGHHHH!!!

Debs, it's all yours. Blackcat has PMed to say that she can't use it at present (no car). Do you still have my contact details? If not, PM me. I can't always get to the phone before it cuts to voicemail, so if no answer, please leave a message and I will call you back.
Thanks.

Thanks so much! I've PM'd you about time and address details as I can't find them. Hopefully I'll get to meet Dot this time too :D See you in a couple of weeks
-
Debs - PM replied to - I have to go now but will hopefully check back on Saturday, should you need anything else.

Sorry I didn't get back to you Cat. I have been busy revising for exams which I had this morning and struggling to keep up with day to day stuff - and have to be in Margate at 7am tomorrow for an op which will leave me out of action for 2 weeks (and I can't lift anything for 6 weeks) - any way, glad BC is taking it.
