Things can only get better

Good news about the TV and that's an excellent idea to email Virgin about the engineer. 😇
That's also really handy that the charity shop is sending someone round to pick up all your unwanted stuff. I hate having these sort of things hanging around the house too - it drives me up the wall. I find my friends are helpful in that they have often taken bigger things like old microwaves etc to the tip for me. 

😱 to Mr SA and his beer - perhaps ask the charity shop if they would like to take an annoying husband as well when they pick up......

Hopefully that's the tv sorted for good now. Is Mr SA medicated to the hilt? If not it sounds like something for anxiety should be added to the mix maybe? Either that or he could do what some people do and pay for a personal assistant who could go shopping with him so he could go when he wants. That's sort of my job. I'm a PA to an autistic adult so I'm a mix of companion/caretaker which gives his parents a couple of hours extra free each evening. A couple of hours a week wouldn't cost him that much - it's a minimum wage job and it would give you some peace and quiet. I'm paid via the looked after person's disability money. I know Mr SA is a bit careful with his pennies but it might save you from going round the bend.....

He had a PA/carer a few years ago, full time for the first year then part time. He then decided he didn't want want anyone coming so that was the end of that. Then he got the mobility scooter so he could take himself out and about. I certainly don't want Mr SA going shopping without me there to supervise, he likes to spend money for the sake of spending it, he's definitely not careful with it. He has no idea about budgets, savings, etc, he thinks as long as you've got a credit card you've got the money to pay for something - which is why I have control of the finances. The timing fixation he's got is to do with the part of his brain that's damaged.

Morning all, happy Friday Eve

Have been for a walk first thing, the dog was up so took her with me. She wasn't keen and I had to drag her a bit 😆 Nice sunny morning again.

Today should be NSD 10/12. I'm too busy to fit in a Lidl trip today. We don't need anything today that can't wait until tomorrow. Mr SA has plenty of other beer it's not the life or death situation he thinks it is.

Managed another shelf of the cupboard of doom last night so will finish off the final shelf today. It look so much better but give it a few weeks and it will be back to how it was. It's one of those cupboards that ends up full of stuff no one knows what to do with (most of the time probably should go in the bin!). I also keep all my notepads in there - I have quite a few.

Cleaning today is the master bedroom. Tonight's dinner will involve veggie sausages and roasted root veg.

Have a good one 😎

Ohhh I forgot about his spending habits sorry! My best friend can be a bit like that about spending for the sake of it too.

Oh I have one of those cupboards aswell, keep it - it will come in handy one day. When that day comes I can’t find it 🤣🤣🤣.

DD has changed the WiFi router back to the TP Link one. All appears to be working fine. 

The dog and cat are involved in a scam between them. They have worked out that when they want to come back in the house from the garden, if they just sit there staring at me when I open the door and not actually come in, I’ll give them a treat to entice them in. If I try to go out and pick them up they run off, if I close the door on them the dog barks and the cat scratches the door. The cat was the first one to trial it and the dog cottoned on later. Little devils 😆
