    All packed up ready to go, amazing how much stuff you need for 2 nights. Saw the meeting agenda today and we are doing 9am until 6pm (eek). Will be hard work but a good experience for me.

    Mr SA ok about it now thankfully.

    Good news in that Mr SA been awarded his PIP until 2023 :) No change in the enhanced rate. Phew! Thought he might be called in for assessment again.

    Roll on Friday!

    Just got back to hotel room, meeting didn't finish until 7pm!!! On 8th floor of hotel, key card didn't work so had to get replacement. Didn't get in room until 7.50, had to meet others for evening meal at 8pm. Literally threw everything in room, straight back out. Amongst all this chaos, text from Mr SA have I ordered him a pizza!!

    Anyway he's not happy, said don't ever do this again.

    Not usually up this late but laid on bed with a coffee, got to be at meting tomorrow for 8.30 so not too early, only down road from hotel. Nice to have room all to myself.

    Yes I did Beanie. Rang our local Pizza Hut from my hotel room in London. About 30 mins later he rang again to tell me it hadn't turned up yet!!

    He's hard work that's for sure!

    Just about to get ready for another long day 8.30 start, goodness knows what time finish. Remind me not to volunteer for anything like this again! Costing me a fortune too - £28 for meal last night but can claim £26 of it back, another meal tonight, Mr SA's pizza plus his fish and chips tonight.

    Also hoping you got finished earlier.
    Thought your DD was doing the meals.

    DD doesn't get home from work until 9pm Beanie, Mr SA can't wait that long. He went to the chippy last night.

    Last day in London today. Will be glad to get home. We finished earlier yesterday 5pm, today we finish at 3pm, should be back home by 7. Hope Mr SA doesn't expect me to cook at that time!

    Wish I'd booked tomorrow off work, I'm exhausted, will probably do a short day.
