More so than mine anyway 😄4 -
@RelievedSheff I'm not known as being the biggest !!!!!! in NG for no reason ha.
@Sun_Addict you have the patience of a saint mate it's clear you have a heart of gold. Make sure you get out and enjoy yourself from time to time though; you get one life and caring for someone who seems unable to be thankful for all you provide for him cannot be easy in the slightest. Tbf to him I think sometimes we all take our loved ones for granted and we all have our own problems and battles to fight but to remain married and committed to your relationship knowing your husband won't ever be the man he was, you are an inspiration to all of us who are married or live as married.12 -
You lot clearly haven’t heard me shouting 🤣🤣 I really don’t have any patience whatsoever 🤬😡🤣I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)8

Maybe endurance? Not the same as patience but perhaps more apt at times?
How about you book yourself into respite?I think a bit of sunshine is good for frugal living. (Cranky40)

Happy Saturday 🥂
Plan A scuppered by rain. Nothing exciting, was going to take a huge heavy throw that won’t fit in my washer to the launderette then sit outside Costa with the dog while it washed. Looks set for the day too.
I need to move everything stored in the spare room back into the bedroom cupboard today.Also need to go to the local shops for a couple of things.Not a lot else planned really, just the cleaning/tidying that didn’t get done yesterday. No painting that’s for sure 😆I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)5 -
Hats off to you SA for any painting you do , my limit is touching bits of paintwork up . I often think I can do stuff but then just get the decorator in.What's next on your to do list ?The weather is a little bit rainy here but still warm , it's forecast like this for days now.Life is an adventure, never stop exploring.4

Next on the list is the spare room. It desperately needs re-plastering and painting. It’s used as a gym, got a treadmill, bike, step, weights etc in there. My old dressing table is in there too and I need to make the decision am I keeping it or not.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)6
