We're just late for last year. Wish we still had the old emoijis, I'd provide cake and bubbly.

It makes me feel so trapped. I grew up with a mum who was very over-protective, she wouldn’t let me go anywhere, I was a very much tried for only child, she was terrified of anything happening to me. I feel the same with Mr SA it’s very stifling. Made harder as I am fiercely independent 💪

Next time you go for out on your own can you not go a bit further away so Mr SA knows he can't come and find you?

Feeling trapped is awful. My XH would ‘surprise’ me by turning up at shopping centres…it was clearly just to check I was where I said I would be and with who I said I’d be with….as if it was anyone else’s business! If he went anywhere or I went anywhere he would be ringing every half hour to see what I was doing…utterly embarrassing when you are with other people. The follow up of not answering was worse and I think I exasperated a lot of people who didn’t understand. At the time I didn’t feel there was a way out and I can understand why you are where you are, but you definitely deserve a medal. @RelievedSheff has a good suggestion…a train ride somewhere could block this.

These are the only friends I meet in town, the others are usually further afield. When I’m physically at work I don’t even bother telling him I’m meeting them so he’s none the wiser, thinks I’m at work.

Staycation Day 3 🏖

Decided to walk into town this morning as it looked as though my advantage card was sorted. Mr SA wanted to come along to cadge a coffee out of it, which was fine with me, stops him going on about going into town. Took purchase to till showed my app with £56 points showing, couldn’t redeem them 😫 Was told to contact customer services 😠

Anyway we went for a coffee then Mr SA wanted to buy me a birthday card, took him absolutely ages, he was struggling to find one apparently in a card shop full of 100s of cards 🙄

Passed an international supermarket on the way home and stocked up on some herbs and spices, they are so much cheaper there than anywhere else. 

Phoned Boots this afternoon, was in a queue for over 30 minutes. Apparently technical issues earlier today with points redemption and they’ve assured me my points are all there ready to spend. I’ll believe it when I see it, what a palaver!

Not good re the Boots points.  Very frustrating.

Hallelujah I’ve just managed to spend the majority of my advantage card points via the app and free delivery 🥳🥂👏 I’ll never let them build up like that again, although to be fair they were accumulated before the pandemic and I just never had chance to spend them. I had visions of having to traipse into town again.

Hooray 👏👏👏
