Looking for the silver lining

Sun_Addict

It would be fab and all paid for by work. I know it's a responsibility taking the notes, they need to be spot on it's really important, but I could do it no problem. Bliss to get hotel room all to myself How to sell the idea to Mr SA though .... He won't like it. He'll worry about his dinner.

He can ring a take away in! He'll love it

I could book it in advance for him, believe me he wouldn't be able to do it for himself. Or he could go on his scooter to the local chippy. Lucky you are selling me the idea

Yah to 4 days off.
TBH if I was you I would just tell him I had to go.End off.

I do have to go Beanie, there is no one else can do it or is willing to do it in reality. Sometimes I come in useful, not always, but occasionally.

When I think back, I was on my own for 9 months when he was faffing about in hospital.

Ditto Lucky's comments.

What about a selection of posh ready-meals for MrSA? Won't hurt him to have a ping-dinner for three days (some of the M&S ones are pretty good - "3 for a tenner" deals).

Maybe also get someone in from Pawshake [or similar organisation] a couple of times a day to walk Pup - and co-incidentally check MrSA is ok?

The penny dropped early this morning - he survived when I was in hospital for 2 nights and that was unplanned. He can't say anything. DD will be there, I'll ring him to make sure he takes his meds and sort out something for his dinner. When I was in hospital all he was bothered about was his dinner. His sister told him it wouldn't do him any harm not to eat he could do with losing some weight, and that was the only sympathy he got.

I won't tell him until nearer the time though or he'll be sulking and going on about it for weeks. It's not exactly a jolly, I'll be note taking for 3 days solid.

Robin he takes the dog out on his scooter so she'll be ok for walks. We live literally across the road from a park where he takes her 2 or 3 times a day.

This weekend is going to be all about decluttering.

So pleased you've decided to go. Nights alone in a hotel sounds bliss, even if the days are spent note taking!

Think I might join you in the decluttering!

I am with you on this.

Not the same at all, but am going away for 2 nights to help my sister move and we are leaving the boy who lodges with us instructions re looking after the pets and HM dinners which he can just heat up...or the number for Dominos...depends how he feels!! :rotfl:. Really don't think 2 night away is an issue and your DD is there. In our case neighbours all prepped and on call.

Main thing will be not to come back to a junk yard of unwashed plates etc after 3 days hard transcribing.... when I am away that's what upsets me the minute I walk back through the door. They are learning though and now at least stack the dishwasher and make me a cup of tea....


Have a great few days off
