I recently used Carol's Services to do twice daily visits to my home for a week to care for my cats and she was totally amazing - at the first meeting I was sold on her bubbly but professional attitude. And she totally gets the Crazy Cat lady thing I have going on. I received SMS updates with funny details of "my boys" day and wellbeing and pictures - I,loved the pictures. It is the first time I have done this - and I will only ever use Carol again. She realises you need to be confident your babies are well looked after and cared for, I don't believe in catteries where they are just another animal. Carol gives a high level of professionalism but more importantly you realise she loves what she does and the animals.

We had diner at the Aztec Mexican recently and if you are looking for authentic Mexican this is the place to go. They have great half price lunch deals, which makes the food more affordable if you have a family. Also Tuesday night is two for one night, but best to book for this as it can get quite busy. Try the Aztec deight.
