Most excellent news. I’m behind @PennysIntoPounds in the queue for any change of mind.

And I'm behind @beanielou

@Sun_Addict in future it might be best if you book the holiday when it suits you but don't tell Mr SA until nearer the time so he has less time to keep pestering you with questions 😉

Happy Saturday 🥂

Had my nails done at 9am then popped back home to pick up Mr SA and the dog. We went to the C00p for the pizzas and beer deal again. I had a £1 off voucher so only cost £4. Also nipped in Ald!, didn’t spend much just a few things I like that they don’t sell in Lidl!

After lunch sat and read for a bit in the garden then did some weeding. Later had an hour in my hanging chair reading before making dinner.

Tried a new recipe from the G00d F00d app spiced aubergine stuffed pitta with chickpea salad and mango yoghurt dressing. It was quite tasty and used up some mango chutney. I’ve got some left for lunch tomorrow.

Mr SA is waiting for the footie but already nodding off. He’s thinking about recording it and watching tomorrow 😆

Rose Prosecco is open 🥂

Morning all from an exhausted SA 🥱

Mr SA sat on the side of the bath to clean his teeth last night around 10pm, misjudged the edge and fell in backwards. We couldn’t get him up although got close a few times but he’s a dead weight. Gave up and called 111 in the hopes they could get an ambulance a bit quicker but still waiting at the moment. This hasn’t happened for some time, thought he was doing well. He knows he’s not supposed to sit on the side of the bath for this very reason 😖

I’ve had virtually no sleep because every time I got on the bed and dozed off he shouted me. It also kept DD awake and she’s working today.

I could really do without this 😞

Oh gosh @Sun_Addict, it really is non-stop isn't it?! Once you retire, I hope you have a whole schedule planned of respite for yourself. Days out with friends etc? You're the maypole everyone dances round and if it becomes too much, then what? Sorry, I know I'm a broken record on this but am absolutely positive that I'm not the only one on here. Love Humdinger xx

Thank you @Humdinger1 😊

He’s finally out of the bath and in bed. The ambulance has just gone. One of the paramedics remembered extracting him from the bath before! They wanted to admit him but he refused and as all his observations were fine they decided not to insist.

Once again I’ve been told to replace the bath with a walk in shower. I know I should really but I would so miss my baths. I did add that he uses the shower fine on the whole with a hand rail and bath bar. The main issue is he needs to be more careful.

So that’s 3 falls he’s had in the past couple of weeks.

De lurking to say sorry about mr sa's fall, it would be a shame to replace the bath I would hate it too and not fair on you as the main carer.

Not sure if things exist but thinking like a rail around the edge so he cant sit in it or a board to go over the top to cover it if not in use, not all 100% ideal but hopefully some sort of solution.

Hope you manage to get some rest today and dd is ok too x
