Looking for the silver lining

That is always happening to me at our chemist SA because my DH has lots of regular meds. They seem so rushed off their feet that they can't cope.

You're very organised for your holiday

Good news that you managed to keep Mr SA away from the paint pot!

Not long now until you're wafted away to the sunshine! :cool:

One more sleep

The plan for today is have my nails and eyebrows done this morning, clean the whole house then pack the cases.

Must remember to book the taxi for tomorrow and draw out some cash.

Oh and go to the chemist to wrestle Mr SA's meds out of them.

Plus need to take the dog on the park for a good run a couple of times as I suspect DD doesn't do this as much as she should when we're away. Have to time the walks to avoid school run times as she does nothing but bark at kids on scooters. We have schools at both ends of our road so it can get quite busy.

Got loads of washing done over the last few days thanks to dry windy weather so washing basket empty.

Roll on tomorrow - no to do lists for a week

Talk about last minute stress!

Piled up Mr SA's scooter with bags destined for charity shop, deposited said bags, then Mr SA spotted two camping chairs for sale. Reminded him we bought some from Mr T a couple of months ago, one still unused in the bag. He has an obsession with these damn chairs!!

Went to have my nails done, reminding him that a parcel was due to be delivered today and to stay home in case it arrived while I was out.

Almost 2 hours later emerged from beauty salon, popped into chemists for the meds. Not ready because "things have gone out of kilter", then they asked whether he still needed his meds. Big sigh! Explained he needed them today, holiday tomorrow, etc. Can you come back in 15 minutes. So decided to have a wander round local shops rather than go back home only to come out again.

There I saw Mr SA outside the charity shop. Hot footed it across the road thinking he was looking at the chairs again. He was about to buy a scruffy hold-all which was "just what he needs for holiday". I bought him a brand new suitcase less than a year ago, paid £65 for it!! After some arguing outside the shop he finally gave up the fight.

Anyway finally got his meds, chemists said they would "try to sort things out but can't promise anything".

Got home to card through the door from postman, yes the parcel Mr SA was meant to be waiting in for!! Luckily the postman was coming back down the road and noticed we were in and came back later.

Mr SA is sulking about the chairs and hold-all.

Still need to clean up and pack cases. Mr SA can't be trusted to pack his case without supervision or he'll forget important things and pack loads of tshirts which he won't wear. So I'll have two cases to pack.

Just roasted some leftover veg to freeze and chopped the rest up for a stir fry tonight. Fridge almost empty now apart from a few bits for DD.

Just keep reminding myself this time tomorrow we should be there.

please-let-me-be-lucky

What a stress! Naughty Mr SA on all counts :mad:. Glad you got parcel though - our postman is nice like that too.

If I don't 'speak' to you again, happy holidays Xx

Camping chairs :eek: :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
(Canvas shoes are another if I remember!)

Really hope all comes together and you have a fab fab time in the sun xx

Camping chairs, canvas shoes and bags are his thing Beanie. He's already talking about buying yet another man bag on holiday.

Thanks for the good wishes, I know we'll have a fab time.

So the cases are packed, house is clean and taxi is booked for 6am. You don't want to know about the ordeal of packing Mr SA's case while he laid in bed watching Tipping Point!!! Apparently none of his shorts fit him, he can't find his boxers and he's got no aftershave. All sorted now.

Now the dog is sulking because she's seen the cases.

Mental note,next time we go on holiday, have my nails done in the afternoon and make sure all the cleaning and packing is done in the morning - or the day before!!

Mr SA keeps saying have you packed X, have you packed y and is driving me nuts.

Think of me tomorrow sinking into my seat when the plane takes off and we're finally on our way. I can't wait.

You have a great time SA and top up that tan!

But I must ask you - and please answer truthfully- have you secretly booked Mr SA on another plane to a different destination.......
