  • Perhaps you could bill him for your Carer's services the last 3 years, such as missed toilet trip clean ups and hill pushing after coffee shop trips?!?! Xx

    Big hugs.... I think people have no idea what it means to be a carer, even though you love them deeply
    As a dear MSE friend says “keep plodding” or
    What does the saying say.... When life hands you lemons, make lemonade
    Or as my Mum would say, brush yourself down, tomorrow is another day or
    Fake it, to you Make It

    Thanks all. He goes off like this from time to time. I try to ignore him but it's still frustrating as you can't reason with him.

    New crown fitted at dentists £70 lab fee paid.
    Jewellery sent off by Special Delivery £6.45.
    Bits and bobs in Wilko £11.00.

    So a spendy day today.

    Flu jabs done for another year. Builder replied to email, told him I'd ring him to sort out date/time he can have a look at what needs doing.

    Wow I can't believe I sent off the jewellery last night and today there is £367.90 in my bank from them. Well chuffed :)

    In other news Mr SA appears to have flu. He only had the jab last night. He's been quite poorly today, very chesty. I came home from work early and he was confused asking where I'd been. He was also drinking a pint of beer as he thought it was 7pm - it was 4.30!!! :(

    Mr S delivery tonight £52.05 - they sent me 4 £9 off £60 spend for 4 weeks so have been taking advantage of. Trying to get the spend as close as possible to the £60 :)

    Boo to Mr SA.
