Thanks @Cheery_Daff, brilliant @greenbee 😂 if only I could chip him 🤔 …, I did find a decapitated mouse head and gall bladder on the dining room floor this morning, so perhaps Chloe was trying to ‘contribute’ and then got distracted and ate the contribution…? 🙄😂
@Brie, that guy sounds a lot like my dad … sigh … There’s something about moving through the wilderness unencumbered in this, I think.@savingholmes, he lost his phone so lost all navigation and means of communication as he had no analogue back up ….
We’ve had a far better day here 😊
Mr KK hasn’t had an attack all day. Hasn’t moved very far from the sofa but has managed meals and a shower. He’s well enough that he’s getting bored now and wants to be ‘doing something’, keeps offering to do the washing up. I will move all his modelling stuff to the dining room table tomorrow and clear some space for him. I have told him that if he manages to do modelling tomorrow he can help with the washing up 😊
I will also try to have some time to myself tomorrow as well as I have been pretty much glued to his location for the last three days. I’d like to set up my vision board for 2025 and do some more interesting reading as well as catch up on my financials.One small MS win - wrapped up the slippers that came two sizes too big for Mr KK’s Christmas present and got them down to the local Evri pick up - refund has already been issued by the seller 👏😊

I’ve been paid. According to the MSE take home pay calculator too much (wrong tax code, no pension contribution yet, other?) - do I tell them? The other weird thing is I seem to have been paid for a full month - but I started a week into the month and had to have unpaid holiday in the payment month as I haven’t been there long enough to accrue paid leave. #confused …
Will do money shuffles and move what looks like excess into my easy access, reasonable interest savings so I can pull it back if needed.KKAs at 15.08.25:

As someone who has moved jobs a lot of late I think they wait until you have been there about three months before joining you in the pension scheme. And don’t start me on the tax code! But tax office is very helpful, I just wish I tried them sooner rather than trusting work to sort it out.Mortgage OP 2025 £6750/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000
