    I think that's a good idea, @Sun_Addict. You do need some time on your own.

    Enjoy your well deserved day to yourself. So pleased neither yourself nor Mr SA were hurt with the falls. It was lucky Dd could get in through the door and she was working late or Mr SA could have been there much longer 😵‍💫😵‍💫 Did he not think to shout you when he first fell over ?

    Oh my goodness - I'm glad you are both ok.   Sorry but the lip balm made me smile too,  but I wouldn't have been smiling whilst I was trying to heave him up and deal with the incontinence.  You have such an amazing attitude to MrSA's situation and somehow manage to find a glimpse of humour in dire circumstances.
    have a fabulous day tomorrow.
    I'm off to look at MnS beauty calendars now .....

    Sorry to jump on your post S.A. But you said something about a new bank card and was worried Mr S.A. Might be scammed

    Oh no to the falls and associated wobbly legs. It must always strike a note of fear whether its a blip or the start of something more serious for Mr SA. Plus the worst things always seem to happen at night.

    What is it with the lip balm?  :)
