Thankfully his wardrobe revealed more than enough T-shirts - phew.The garden has had a good tidy up and everything in the greenhouse has been moved to the patio so they stand a better chance of DD remembering to water them. Picked 2 courgettes. Everything will get a good water and feed tonight and another water before we set off tomorrow morning.Packed Mr SA’s suitcase, that was a nightmare 😩It’s times like this when you realise how bad his brain injury is. The stuff he’d packed!! How many pairs of shoes 😱 How many man bags 😱 How many lypsyls 😱 Oh my days!Have put in a Mr M delivery for the day after we get back home. I’d qualified for a £34 off your next shop voucher which was very handy. Nothing spent today so NSD 7 final call for August.Can’t believe this time tomorrow we’ll be in the air if all goes to plan.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)4

The lypsyl situation is worrying Mr SA, he can only find 7, will this be enough for 9 nights 😬 He’s unpacked them all from his case and put them in his hand luggage so he knows where they are. I’ve also had to remove a T-shirt with a hole in he sneaked in his case. I can’t lock it yet as his is the bigger case and the toiletries bag needs to go in there so will have to check it again before we leave.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)5

What made me laugh was I have to order them from Amazon because Savers have stopped selling them. I’ve ordered him 2 packs of 6 lypsyls since last month. The subscribe and save suggests most people have a pack of 6 every 5 months. Goodness knows how he gets through so many! He won’t entertain any other make and it’s the plain ones only no flavours. Drives me nuts.DD has given me my birthday presents early a new cookbook Dominique’s Kitchen and a bottle of pink gin. DS got me a bottle of wine and some toiletries. Mr SA hasn’t got me anything but I told him if I see something at the airport or on holiday I like then I’ll get it. I’m not really bothered as if I need something I get it and he’s lost the knack of present buying. He used to be really good at buying presents although used to spend far too much. One Christmas he spent over £400 on perfumes and skin care products for me and we really couldn’t afford it.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)5
