    Dog shampoo

    I thought baby shampoo was not recommended. I brought the johnsons no more tears one thinking it would be nice and mild, but read online the ph levels are not good, something to do with not stinging little eyes if it goes in them?. I used it once and am now left with a full bottle.

    Spare room in Crawley if your flooded.

    The weather down here is awful, and i have a spare furnished double room if anyone is flooded or without power.

    Hi, get on facebook and look at the livery south east page. Loads comes up on there and you can post your needs too. The other local horsey pages are good for livery too. If you get really stuck there are some grass livery places not too far out which are not bad.
