    Several missed calls from Mr SA today, I'd been in meetings. Rang him to see if everything was OK. He just wanted to tell me Liz Dawn had passed away!!! Plus he has got paint all over the new tshirt I bought him just one week ago today :(

    In other news today has been NSD 10/18. Obviously not going to hit 18, but might do 11 :) Never done this many before.

    Tonight's dinner is fish, potatoes and veg for me - chicken is Mr SA's case. All freezer/fridge things.

  • Evening SA,

    Oh no to Mr SA's telephone calls and the t-shirt :mad:

    Well done on the NSD front xx

  • Glad the phone calls weren't anything urgent SA, Mr SA obviously thought it was very important :rotfl:

    Shame about paint on the tee shirt, but it does mean he's been painting :D.

    He was trying to go over the patchy bits on the bedroom ceiling. Looks no different so seems most of the paint went on his tshirt. He wants to try and do things himself which is good but he can only do a small bit at a time so it takes forever.

    Tonight he's got his tshirt on back to front (not the paint spattered one). He insists it's on the right way round, even though the picture is on his back!!! If I didn't laugh I'd cry!!

    Reminds me of when Mr Lucky was adamant his shaver was his mobile phone! Would NOT be told otherwise.
