Mr Tuna is also on the pre loved for sale column. He has just come back from 2nd home! aka hospital he does like to challenge the Doctors and make sure they keep up with their studying of medicine. Mr T is also the longest customer our palliative consultant has on her books. He is just like Tigger he bounces back and long may he do so....

Morning everyone, happy New Years Eve 🥂
No idea what today’s plans are. I’m a bit cheesed off with Mr SA after he had two accidents in the hall last night that I’m blaming entirely on him drinking too much beer. I feel like taking myself off somewhere away from him for a few hours to be honest. We usually go out for lunch on NYE but he wasn’t too keen yesterday, all he wants to do is sleep and watch TV. His current obsession is Only Fools and Horses he watches it all day!Anyway that’s the morning moan over 😆
I’m gradually taking down the Christmas decorations although will leave the bulk of them until tomorrow. I have fairy lights up all year round and a lighted twig tree so it never looks too different.Need to decide what I want to do today, I seem to have achieved nothing while I’ve been off work and I’m going back Tuesday. Bit cross with myself about that 🙁I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)4 -
Morning SA x knew you would be champing at the bit after all this enforced relaxation 🤣
Year round fairy lights sound nice - we have a couple of solar power lanterns out all year but might look at fairy lights instead for something different.
Hope the weather cheers itself up a bit so you can get out and escape MrSA - no wonder you are feeling cooped up it’s been 8 days!!’Lancashire

Happy New Years eve SA.
Whilst you may not feel you have achieved much since being off work, you can at least say you have managed to get through the festive period with no broken bones, injuries or hospital visits/stays. That is a big positive!
You deal with such a lot, on a daily basis, so please don't be so hard on yourself4 -

Totally agree. We all need a break occasionally. The secret is not to let the break last too long - which is my major failing.

Thank you for your lovely comments 🙂
The weather isn’t great here, one minute sunny the next raining, so decided not to go out on my own. Didn’t really have anywhere to go that didn’t involve shopping and I don’t need to buy anything. We took the dog for a run on the park so she’s got that out of her system.I did a live WW mindfulness session this morning whilst removing my gel polish, which had started lifting, and I also had a hair mask on. Multi-tasking at its finest 😆
Mr SA has had his lunch and is now having his siesta so making the most of the peace.Getting all the washing done today as although I’m not really superstitious I won’t wash on New Year’s Day. The last time I did was 2000, a work colleague commented it was bad luck and I laughed. A few days later DS was mugged and had his new Christmas present watch stolen, my mom passed away in the August having only been diagnosed with a brain tumour the previous month and to cap off the year I was made redundant from a job I loved in the September. Needless to say I haven’t tempted fate since even though deep down I know it was just a coincidence.
I need to decide what I want for tonight’s dinner - not sprouts 🤣I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)7 -
I'm the same about washing on NY'sD. DH thinks I'm stupid.
