What’s Mr SA like saying that to motorbility - it’s a pity they didn’t talk to you. Could you put it in his notes and ask them to talk to you or do need power of attorney to do that? It’s a difficult one in that you want him to do the things he can himself and not take over but as he gets confused is he up to it. It must be heartbreaking for you and your family and of course for Mr SA himself.
I want some of your energy. Out at the shops early, a full day working and exercising too. I have worked from home but it’s as and when I want to fit it in - as long as I do what’s asked of me and report on it by the end of each week it’s not a problem. I spent well over my hours earlier this week when the weather was rubbish but yesterday I finished about 1 pm and we went out for a walk. We travelled a quick squirt along the motorway - about 5 miles from home to a water park - there is a big lake, a river and canal - the wildlife is amazing. In normal times there’s a lot of water sports. There are parts of it which get busy but so many lanes and combinations of walks around it. Dh knows it well as he grew up virtually next to it - his playground. So we parked in the carpark and meandered between the lake, river and canal basin. The main lake was very busy but we barely saw a soul - it’s about as far as I plan going. That’s the first time I’ve done any exercise this week 😳January spends - £587.5810 -
Milann I am classed as the ‘responsible person’ for everything to do with him but obviously this must have been overlooked.After work did C25K week 6 day 3, 25 minutes running 😱 Just finished it when Mr SA burst into the spare room where the treadmill lives to ask if I’d ordered a Chinese. There he was in receipt of a takeaway I hadn’t ordered. Why he thought I had ordered it God only knows 😩 So I had to phone the takeaway and tell them they had delivered to the wrong house. What a nightmare, took ages to get them to understand. Finally got someone to pick it up and hopefully take it to the right house.Bit late to the party but have finally subscribed to Netflix. Mainly because I’ve seen adverts for the new series set in Ibiza, my favourite place on earth 💕 White Lines - which looked really good. Watched episode 1 tonight and it didn’t disappoint. Anyway Mr SA is in his element with all the films and programmes on there so well worth £5.99 a month.On the finance side finally cashed out £75 from Quidco from a BG Homecare plan I entered into almost a year ago. Apart from the £5.99 on Netflix no other spends today.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)8

Someone was asking for a desk on a local FB group so looks like I can get rid of my old portable desk, hopefully coming to collect tomorrow 👍 Wonder if I can get rid of a few other bits 🤔I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)8

Unfortunately the lady picking up the desk has a nail in her tyre, she even sent me a photo, so not picking up until tomorrow or Monday.Left some books on my wall and only 2 left now 👍 Apparently it’s Takeaway Saturday round here which I didn’t realise. It’s killing Mr SA me giving stuff away, he’s such a tightwad unless money is being spent on him 🤣
Mr SA really annoyed me - I was on my laptop ordering some garden plants to be delivered when he appeared dead on 12 and said never mind that get my lunch 😠😳👎 Still angry 😡I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)9 -

I hope the lady sort her tyre out and picks up your desk, it is a good way to get rid of things.

Someone posted on the local FB group they had plants for sale 50p and £1 so grabbed the dog and off we went. Bought £5 worth of plants, all sorts, pleased with my haul 😁 Gave the dog a good walk too, ended walking up heart attack hill on the way back, although most roads round my way are like this.Loving the Eurovision best of on BBC1 right now. My favourite winner of all is Euphoria but then I love my dance music.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)7
