I always thought that was its proper name.Sun_Addict said:He struggles with getting the zip in the whatever it’s called you put it in before you zip it up. Sorry that’s not the best description 🤣
I did find this though (no, I don't have better things to do
):

Happy Friday 🎄
Plan A is to finish work early today, go for the boosters, go to Lidl then stop off at the pub for a festive drink on the way home.
Plan B is carry on working and none of the frivolities of Plan A.
The above all rests on the outcome of the LFTs which will be carried out shortly when Mr SA gets up.
Had two people contact me yesterday about jobs on promotion working for them so going to take a look at the job spec this morning. They only contacted me initially to ask if I'd help with the interviews then said I don't suppose you'd be interested...
The kitten is running around the house like a wild thing. The older cat managed to get herself locked outside all night so just wants to sleep and the kitten won't leave her alone.
Must crack on...

Zip Mania made me laugh. My Mum is in her eighties and everything has a zip and she can't do up any of them. She has this massively dangerous habit of leaving them done up and wriggling out of them and then stepping into the jacket or whatever the next day - cos you know totally stable on her feet etc.Scottiedog_3 said:
Glad you can now WFH without worrying about having to go in to work even occasionally. My dog used to be sick when she was coming into season - is yours spayed? You have so much to contend with - good job you have plenty of grit! My mother used to destroy zips at an incredible rate - but she learned to wait until she was zipped up. Mr SA probably is still too young to stand patiently and wait for help. Mum was in her eighties when Zip Mania struck...I've had winter jackets with a two-tier system of zip fastening inside then velcro fastening edges . Try good sports shops. When the zip went, the velcro took over.Sun_Addict said:Morning, happy Thursday.
Just been informed it's back to full time WFH . The dog has just been sick 😫
I have looked and looked but she only wants zips.. I have got her an indoor jacket thing with buttons (which she can't do up) but seems to like.Nevertheless she persisted.4 -

Of course that’s just today and we have to do them again tomorrow. DD is a lot better now and returning to work on Monday. The colleague DD caught it from is in hospital with pneumonia.
