I cant talk.
Fell twice today.
Once in shower & once in a puddle :eek: :rotfl:
You are very patient SA.
Oh Beanie, I hope that you are not too sore and bruised:)
Different circumstances, but I have a family member who is incredibly accident prone, he is 6ft tall and my Ma has said she often thinks of getting me to find and buy a whole roll of bubble wrap for her to wrap him up and keep him safe:eek::rotfl:

Oh Beanie hope you're ok! Mr SA is 6ft 1 and sometimes he's like a willowy tree, all bendy and all over the place. He's had a fall in the shower today too, I usually help him but today he decided to go off and have a shower all by himself thus resulting in a fall! Fortunately none the worse for wear despite the loud crash - which reminds me of just before he got ill we were on holiday and I slipped in the shower and banged my head and ribs. I shouted him for help without success. When I got up and out I confronted him why didn't he come and help, his reply was he didn't hear me because he was playing Angry Birds on his phone! Strangely this was literally weeks before he became ill so still wonder if this was the beginning of it all.
Today has been a nice day despite Mr SA coming out with a couple of embarrassing comments to other people. The most embarrassing being when DS and his OH came round this afternoon with GD it was obvious GD was hungry - he said "time to get your udders out". Still cringing now! The old him would have never said this. He seems to have lost his decorum.
Need to do finances tomorrow as today has been rather spendy

Oh dear to the udders! At least he didn't call them anything more crude!
It's nowhere near the same, but I've noticed Mr Lucky has lost inhibitions since the accident too. Pre head injury he would never have asked a shop assistant for help for example, but now he tears off to find one!!
Hope you have a lovely day tomorrow XxDebts @ LBM £23,729.31. Debts @ 08/04/2016 £0 :j

We have crossed posts yet again Lucky - I've just been delving in your diary! We must come to life at the same time! Yes Mr SA has lost his inhibitions too and is much more talkative in public, unfortunately as he has lost the volume in his voice most people can't tell a word he's saying (me included at times).I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)0

Forgot to mention I have lost a whole pound in weight this week! Weighed in this morning. Need a better plan leading up to Xmas though as have so many meals out on the horizon.
So far this weekend I've achieved not a lot except for spending money. But tomorrow I must clean up, do my WW meal plan, sort out my Fitbit and do finances. Can hear Mr SA snoring in bed from downstairs

Grr - I have just spent ages typing a very long post about my plans and it literally disappeared when I pressed post! And tried to set up Fitbit today and found it was missing the dongle! Have sent a shirty email to Wacky Tech who I got it from. Very disappointed on both counts!I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)0

Hello all
Managed to get the Fitbit up and running via app. Apparently Wacky Dot don't bother with dongle as no one uses them anymore. Still getting to grips with it but pleased so far. Monitors steps, exercise, calories, water intake and sleep. Sends you email if you've hit target. Pity it doesn't do finances!
Yet again have started new budget today and intend to stick to it this time. Spent £66.88 on Mr M big shop today. Don't need much more grocery wise this week, just fresh fruit I think.
Still sticking to 30 Day Shred 3 times a week. Might move up to Level 3 on Sunday.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)0 -
