yes exactly. that stuff about the "no extraneous tests" - no one was thinking you got fleeced! No one's out there saying "don't listen to the vets, they just want to charge you for unnecessary tit like garages do". No one!
Yep. This is all a smokescreen. We were the ones who told her to take the poor mite to the vet, the thirst and the state of him it was obvious there was something not right. She’s now claiming she’s been saving the insurance costs in a separate account for exactly these purposes and I have never been so tempted to cross the streams, the lying little scrote.
Tak. In the shared house she moved into for 2 months in 2013 when she lived with herMummy, Daddy and her younger brother and sister four Polski LADY cleaners
She foisted her foul slops upon them “as is common in houses of multiple occupancy”, and in return they turned her into an EXPERT in their cuisine
so much of an EXPERT in fact that she was commissioned to write an article on Polski Skleps and Polski Cuisine!
Jack Monroe shares her Polski sklep shopping list and favourite Polish recipes The first time I noticed my local Polski Sklep was in 2013, in
www.theneweuropean.co.uk
(Said commissioned article had literally nothing whatsoever to do with her inventing four Polish lady cleaner housemates who were never, ever mentioned before and have never been mentioned since)
I still think the imaginary four LADY Polish housemates were inspired by 2014’s saucy Eurovision (LADY) milkmaid and her (LADY) friends
“Cantankerous” has actually made me livid. You crappy excuse for a person Jack, I hope you read this and have a proper think about how utterly gross you are. You don’t deserve … have never deserved … to have an animal dependent on you.
this may be unreasonable but I don't care about dumbass point scoring about the bleeping NHS. I care about the little animal that needs help right now. not everything has to be performative "political" content
And I certainly don't care about your stupid hateful non existent "food budget" that you made up or your stupid new name for your son. you don't get points for doing the right thing and getting him the special cat food. You're not a saint sacrificing your own food for his.
and get pet insurance you awful person. You can afford it.
She probably wouldn't have bothered with a vet consultation if she hadn't read everyone's comments on here about the state of his coat, and the fact that no healthy cat sits and drinks for - I dunno - was it 15 minutes or something? Something ridiculous, anyway.
Even she must have twigged that to have YET ANOTHER animal die on her would not be a good look.
That final “we” is the giveaway that this is a lie, Jack. You’re the only adult in that household. And the only human if your son’s lucky, given your record in caring for your dependents.
My dog had to have surgery that cost almost 3 grand. I have insurance but they took ages to pay out, and unlike Jack I don't have £157000 sitting in the bank.
I am just imagining the smell in the crappy bungalow of rancid anchovies combined with incontinent cat pee
Just reminder for those with insurance for their pets that dental isn’t usually included so it’s worth putting a little extra aside (especially for cats, who are prone to dental issues).

wait they kept to themselves but also were a genial bunch sharing food and recipes. Hokay then
I'm not a fan of wide-eyed, staring at all the "strange" "ethnic" "foreign" "culinary delights" of "different food cultures" "hungry for new food experience after growing up on beans and coronation chicken from the corner shop" ( must have been a posh nisa even then) neocolonialist bullshit jack
She can’t have been putting what she would have paid for insurance aside for very long, if it didn’t even stretch to £500. Oh why bother - she’s lying.
since her "separate savings pot" has only covered "most" of this £500 bill, which presumably means there's none left for any other treatment he may need, I don't know what else we could reasonably expect her to do

Yeah squig, that was the same supervet she was desperately dangling a very unwell kitten in front of so she could get some tv exposure. Maybe not the best choice of example.
My view is that vet charges are like the wild west; totally unregulated and with (it seems) no upper limit. A friend of mine took their cat to the vet thinking they may have eaten some petals from a flower that was in the house - she went for advice. the cat ended up in the vet hospital for 3 nights for 'observation'. the cost was in the thousands - i get that they're very cautious but in the spirit of jack comparing this to the NHS (it's like apples and oranges, we know), there's no way a child would be kept in hospital for 3 nights observation under the same circumstances.
anyway, a reminder: POOR PEOPLE CAN'T HAVE INSURANCE.
further reminder: good job she had that money put by otherwise we might have witnessed her trying to sell the butter soft leather trousers that she bought as an insurance policy for a later date.

Our little spaniel needed surgery to mend a broken elbow just days before first lockdown. It was pennies under five grand. We didn't have insurance but had been putting the cash away each month so had £4,000+ sitting there waiting to be used, thank God!
One of only two animals which have cost us money in half a century of multi-pet ownership. (The other was the world's unhealthiest Yorkshire terrier which had EVERYTHING wrong with her. I wouldn't care - we only took her on because the BYB was going to drown her. Cost us a mint . . . but she was so sweet. ❤)

Good job several posters here (including me) diagnosed chronic kidney disease, wasn’t it Jack? Saved you the effort of caring about your pet as a responsible owner.
