Hope Mr SA is feeling better soon.
I'm sure he appreciates what you do for him in his own way.3 -
Do you have a laptop SA? If so you could always watch iplayer with headphones in when the sound gets ridiculously low. Can MrSA hear it at that volume, or is he missing vital bits himself just to annoy you? He’s clearly trying to bully you in the few ways he has left 😕Not all who wander are lost - J.R.R.Tolkien

I am sorry that Mr SA has been so difficult. You are so good to him and take all the responsibility and get so little back from him except pester and criticism it must be very hard not to just pack your bags and leave him to it. I think I might have gone a long while ago. Do you get any help from your dd? If not perhaps you could start asking her to take some of the weight.

Is there any way you can get a generic remote and conceal it from him? Also, just found this article on lip balm. My DD went through a period of applying it constantly which made me go looking for answers. https://www.epiphanydermatology.com/blog/lip-balm-addiction/

Thanks I’ll show him that article. Interesting about the toothpaste as my previous hairdresser was allergic to an ingredient in it that caused sore lips. I think his reliance on the lip balm started when he was working outside in all weathers and got chapped lips. It’s become more of a habit now.evebeme said:Is there any way you can get a generic remote and conceal it from him? Also, just found this article on lip balm.

Had to push my way through a picket line to get in the building.Got a really busy day so need to get on.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)2

I’m absolutely shattered tonight, it has been so busy at work and I actually did a full day in the office.Here is a photo of a very jealous dog as the older cat beat her to sitting next to me just now 😆
