As a coeliac of 20 years Debra Lendrum, founder of Deli Divine, knows how hard it is to find great tasting gluten free food. Having searched long and hard and been left lacking she set up Deli Divine in order to bring quality products and new discoveries together in one place, saving you the time and effort of shopping around for the best intolerance friendly foods. All the gluten free foods at Deli Divine have been taste-tested by Debra's gluten eating hubby - to ensure that they are full of flavour and not free-from taste.
According to the RSPCA, new figures show an alarming increase in the number of pets being abandoned, with more than 37,000 animals being dumped across England and Wales in the past year. This is a rise of 9,000 (34%) from the previous year, with financial difficulties being listed as one of the reasons people are getting rid of their pets. Every year the charity sees a sharp rise in abandonments at the height of summer and evidence from the RSPCA and other animal charities suggests some people chose to get rid of their pets rather than pay for them to be looked after while they are on holiday.

These include metal hand rails, bricks, modern guttering, zips, nail polish and clothes pegs.
