The cynic that I am - I think these type of companies change things every 2 years for that exact reason so that we have to go out buy all the new books, calculators etc, its a rip of really (I did say that I was cynical), I'm not rich, I don't have a lot of spare cash so I would find it a struggle to replace everything I have already. If they change the points to incorporate fibre like they do in the USA (which I personally think would be sensible as it would encourage us to have high fibre foods to reduce the points value) then I would buy the shopping book and calculator and thats it! Everything else I would get off ebay as and when I can afford it!
Or alternatively I will just carry on with the system I am using now! It works!
My poor baby is poorly - thats my dog Millie by the way, shes my baby substitute. Shes got a dislocated knee cap, doesn't need surgery at the moment, gotta keep her calm, no jumping or running about, shes on anti-inflamatories for 5 days and take it from there. But its got me all upset and annoyed.
You see, she first got a dislocated knee cap when she was 14 weeks old when my horrid EX fiance threw her to the ground and dislocated it! Shes been ok for the past 3 years but it happened again yesterday and this morning, shes put a bit of weight on since I have been ill with glandular fever as I haven't been able to take her out on her 1 mile morning walk every day. She can't walk for the next week but after that when I am back at work, the walks can start again and need to get her weight down which will help her knees.
I don't normally think about my Ex but when this happened I just wanted to punch him and say "happy now? see what you've done" LOL!!! Good job for him hes living in Scotland now!!!
Anyway shes getting loads of cuddles at the moment, even if I am £31 out of pocket, OH and because the original dislocation happened when she was 14 weeks old and within the 10 day buffer period when you take out pet insurance it will NEVER be covered by insurance - the op at the moment is £500 plus, so the vet said its in my best interests to do exactly what he tells met then hopefully she won't have to have the op, poor baby has already had 4 ops in her little life.
