Re the job - the extra cash would have been helpful, but you sound very happy where you are now.
Shame about Mr SA and the Men's Shed. It could have been a nice way of getting himself out of the house and make new pals into the bargain.

Sorry the job and the Men in Sheds didn't materialise (that sounds very suspect but you know what I mean!)
It's odd about Mr SA not being able to swim now. It's good that he's at least giving it a go, even a bit of splashing about is exercise, after all, and he may be able to improve.I think a bit of sunshine is good for frugal living. (Cranky40)

Hello folks
Thank you for your kind comments re the job. Honestly I'm not bothered, I love where I am now, the money's not bad, and there is no stress.
Had a lovely catch up with old school friends today plus a tour of one of my friend's workplace which was really interesting and historical.
On a massive minus side Mr SA had a very bad fall yesterday, he fell down the stairs and has done something to his hand
It's bruised and swollen Honestly he drives me nuts there's always something.
Had a nice day in Brum yesterday, aside from the work meeting part, weather not too bad redo. Didn't buy anything from the shops though. Next time I go it will be end of November so the Christmas stuff will be out :eek:
No particular plans for the weekend, just a quiet one hopefully.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)0 -
Oh no - Mr SA's is really going through it at the moment.. Are his falls becoming more frequent do you think ?
On the plus side, your old friends catch up sounded fun as well as your Brum trip.
Here's to a relaxing weekend for you.
