Poor you having to clean up after Mr SA and the cat. I'm terrible when there is something smelly to clear up - you cope amazingly with all the daily trials and tribulations.

Happy Sunday.Mr SA has been worse with his accidents since we got back from holiday. Thankfully he didn’t have any while we were away. I do get fed up of constantly cleaning up after him 😞
I’ve been up for ages as I had both cats making various attempts at getting me out of bed. They won eventually as they started upsetting the dog.On the plus side I’ve already read some of my book, done a couple of Spanish lessons and now have a deep conditioning mask on my hair.I need to put the flea treatment on all three animals today. The dog happily lets me do it, the cats run off the minute I get the box from the cupboard.Also must plant seeds, get home insurance quotes and have a look at the Clubcard vouchers expiring at the end of the month.Tonight’s dinner is a portion of vegan wellington from the freezer with veg. Mr SA is having beef done in the slow cooker.There is Prosecco left from last night 🥂
I’ve had an email to say we’ve won a prize on the Lotto. Not getting too excited because I only recognise one of the numbers so suspect it’s a lucky dip and £5.Need to give the dog a run on the park with her ball today.Hoping the weather stays dry as have load of washing.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)4 -
Sorry to hear about the accidents that Mr SA has had , it's a good job you have wooden flooring . I hope you can get it investigated after the trip to the doctors .I am starting to wake up very early for me these past few days about 5.00am probably not early to you.My house insurance renewal albeit only contents was actually cheaper this year with the same provider, which surprised me .Have a good Sunday and enjoy the rest of the Prosecco .Life is an adventure, never stop exploring.3

I won a lucky dip and £5 too 😁

I’ve been quite productive in the garden today and have planted the seeds and done a lot of tidying. I’m afraid I had to have a go at Mr SA when he got my gravity chair out of the shed to sit on. Absolutely refuse to let him break this 🤬 I just let rip at him, I think some of it was pent up frustration from the many accidents I have to clean up and all the stuff he ruins 😞 He went off in a strop with the dog on his scooter.One of my beefs with him was all the jobs that need doing in the garden and he does nothing to help. I told him the seeds needed planting and he just said get on with it then 🤬
Aside from the above have enjoyed being in the sun and reading my book in between gardening.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)9 -
Sorry to hear about Mr SA and your gravity chair. He has been told about this before hasn't he? I can't blame you for really letting rip at him - it's probably done you a world of good and hasn't hurt him - let him sulk.Personally I think when it comes time for you to retire I wouldn't tell him - you'll be able to get out and about and do what you want to do and he'll think you're at work! Simples!😉Finally Debt Free! - July 2016 🌟

I wonder if he's picked up an infection? I don't blame you for telling him off, he should respect your things and remember that your chair is special to you.
Well done for getting your seeds sown, you're ahead of me.I think a bit of sunshine is good for frugal living. (Cranky40)

It’s the swinging basket chair he’s been warned off after sitting in it and knocking it over. The gravity chair isn’t strong or stable enough for him and it usually stays at the bottom of the garden. I don’t want to get anything out until the weather is more settled.Most of the seeds should’ve been sown in April but we’re only a week into May so hopefully won’t make that much difference. I was late sowing them last year and they were fine. Well I will keep going on holiday in April 🤣
Have administered the flea treatment to all pets, the cats aren’t happy 😬
He hasn’t got an infection @Cherryfudge it’s the brain damage, there’s not much can be done about it according to his consultant.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)6
