Here I am trying to be quiet getting jobs done downstairs without waking Mr SA up and the two cats are chasing each other all round the house. It’s hilarious but talk about thunder paws 🤣🤣 It’s lovely to see them playing together.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)7

Has senior cat accepted the kitten then? Lovely (and quick) if so.
Sorry Mr SA seems to be having a bad phase. Do these come and go? It must be so difficult when he is outwardly ok in some ways but not in others. He sounds very strong willed too so it must also be difficult to head tricky situations off plus he must be 2 or 3x as big as you when it comes to anything physical/practical.
You really are an amazing lady - full time job plus full time carer plus family plus house plus pets. Its a wonder you don't just lie in a darkened room at weekends but you always fit so much in.7 -
When we had two cats we used to have the 100mph cat chase too. In the big house it sounded like a horse race was coming through but it was funny to watch.

I must be one of the few people who wasn’t impressed with Love Actually, watched it once and that will do me, now Miracle on 34th street(the remake) is my go to festive movie.x:j Debtfree and and staying that way.:j3-6 month emergency fund, No.61 £140.004

I have just emerged from watching Love Actually, how much do I love this film 💕 Makes me laugh and cry, never tire of it. When Emma Thompson realises that necklace isn’t for her is priceless 😢 Next I need to watch Christmas Carol with George C Scott as Scrooge. However my favourite film ever is Kevin and Perry Go Large, mainly for the 90s dance music and the fact it’s set in my beloved Ibiza.Back down to earth and the dog has had two good runs on the park. DD has been sent home from work with a nasty cough 😩 and Mr SA desperately needs a ball of string, don’t ask 😬
Still not written out my Christmas cards but hey ho. Thinking about what to put in the cards for my cousins who have just lost their brother, one of them has also lost her daughter this year and the friend who has just lost her husband, how can you say happy Christmas to them.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)4 -
Don't send them Christmas cards. I was widowed in October many years ago and I put everything that said Happy Christmas straight in the bin that year. The cards that did go up were the ones that were just plain note cards but that had lovely messages inside from people saying that they were thinking of me.
Mr S_A and string...now there's an interesting combination.5 -

On another note Mr SA has decided he needs a bomber jacket. He hasn’t got the figure for one I’m afraid. Too tall and too big. Think Kenneth in Benidorm 😬I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)3

I'm not going to comment on Mr SA & the bomber jacket! If he is unstable on his feet can he not go in on his scooter. I use one from time to time when my back/leg is bad & I can get parallel to the table & turn the seat, is there anything similar that he can do? If possible it could save msiadventures!
