Sounds like a hectic month for you SA.2

Yeah, couldn't you leave it in there? in the middle of the room
Nevertheless she persisted.3 -
DS will be able to move it the weekend before. It’ll have to temporarily go in our bedroom, it’ll only be for a week or just over. It folds up apparently although never attempted it.
Bought Mr SA a pair of canvas slip on shoes this morning but he couldn’t get his feet in them so have had to go back and exchange them for a wider pair.Whispering this - it’s not rained yet today, at times it’s been quite pleasant 🤫 Got 2 loads of washing dry 😃

Sun_Addict said:Mr SA has brought up the going to the coast on the train subject again. Goaded by his sister who has told him there’s a scooter hire place near the train station. She isn’t the one taking him 🤬 Have told him absolutely no way, I don’t want the hassle just for one day. What’s annoying is she and BIL often drive to the coast but don’t think of taking him. They only live 6 miles from us it wouldn’t hurt them, he’d love it and it would give me a break.
Hopefully the result will be that the idea will fester in his head, then he will pester tham instead of you. If they do not take him he may understand that you had the better idea, and his sister may learn to butt out and stop putting ideas in his head - and you will have a day to yourselfCredit card debt - NIL

Susie I wish he would pester them but it appears he prefers pestering me.The smart TV has decided to un-smart itself so we couldn’t watch Netflix or Prime. Tried to sort it but it’s not playing ball. Will look at it tomorrow, can’t be bothered now. No doubt the old trick of unplugging it and plugging it back in again will be the answer.Now Mr SA has got his much-pestered for canvas shoes he’s moved on to a sweatshirt pester. This is because I got a new one yesterday. He’s like a small child at times, thought I’d left all that behind years ago. Drives me nuts because it all he talks about, he chips away until I cave in.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)4

Have you checked all your cases? Perhaps there's an unworn one you can recycle, like the shorts he forgets about.
I wonder what would happen if you'd got a new bra or a dress thougheek

Mr SA's sister needs to step up to the plate.
The least she could do is take him to the coast for one day.
Selfish woman.
