    Aw thank you MFD :)

    Have had a can't be bothered day. Not got as much done as I wanted to.

    Sorted out holiday clothes for both Mr SA and I - the suitcases are partially packed.

    While I was busy ironing Mr SA went in the garden in the mud with his new canvas shoes on. Caught him trying to hide them in the cupboard under the stairs where he hides all his other mud covered shoes.

    Really should do some exercises before my bath, even if only the ankle stretching ones.

    Have just made my soup for the week. Thankfully the last full working week for quite a while - I break up a week on Tuesday then the week back at work is Easter Friday and Monday so 2 more short weeks, then I'm off the following Friday for Mr SA's birthday and the Monday is Bank Holiday. So no more full weeks until week commencing 8 May :):)

    Hope everyone has had a good weekend.

    If I can cheer someone up along the way then it can't be bad :) The fact that he cleaned said shoes with my washing up sponge is another matter. The joys of looking after someone with a brain injury :(

    Today was a NSD :)

    Anyway back to work for a rest tomorrow.

    Oops sorry, thought you were going away much sooner.. My "Happy holiday" wishes somewhat premature! :o

    ps. Reckon 95% of non-brain-damaged men wouldn't think twice about using a washing up sponge to clean footwear! The other 5% are probably the ones who wash up without being asked.. :cool:

    another Nosey Nellie in Surrey :D
    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
