    Hey - fun fact, it's 50yrs since Sir Rod Stewart recorded and released the song 'Sailing'.  How's about you and the girls do your rendition on the boat? Just for fun 😁

    🤣 well we didn’t sing that GP but we did have a sing song in the “nightclub” on the last night, it was a good trip I think I was probably in a grumpy mood when I posted as I was just so tired the whole time. Late nights and waking up early very quickly takes it toll now! Bruges I have been to twice before we but arrived from a different spot and had the most amazing walk in past some stunning scenery, I’d now like to go back to Bruges with dh and have a longer look around 😬

    Hi Ed, thank you 🙂 I don’t think he feels like that’s what he’s done, he feels he has caved in for family peace ☹️

    There are four days left now and I’ve no idea how that will end really, dh feels deeply betrayed but is trying to “do the right thing for the family” but I’m not sure he can actually do that. For me it just feels like a pressure cooker, I’m out with dd, step DGD and mum today , we are going to Aunts for lunch which is a very rare occasion, I’m hoping the subject is swerved totally by all 😩

    Hi Al, that’s very kind, it’s tough I must admit but I’m getting used to it quicker than I thought. Still unsure of whether we should move now they have gone but that’s not something we will decide on for a while yet. 

    Finances need checking , but it looks like I’ve spent £36.53 as I added the parking to the split expenses (was £99) so not much spent, it’s time to now look at the main account and check everything, not 100% dh will get paid at the end of the month, I think he probably will now but I’m pretty  sure they won’t pay the extra month they committed to - apparently at the end of sept - which we assumed would have been in the last pay packet anyway…. 

    In good news though I rang the gas/electric firm and they agreed to me setting the dd at £100 from the recently reduced £213, it doesn’t allow for heating really so I’ll see how we go 🤣
