    Hope you manage to have a relaxing weekend SA. I used to think as we got older, life got easier. Sadly that’s not the case and definitely not in your case. You never know what’s around the corner, would love to start some hearing good news for a change.xx

  • Sounds like a good day, just what you need.
     I love DIY shops like that. We used to have one in our village but one day it just suddenly closed and no one knows why. That was over a year ago and the stock is still in there, and as far as I know no one has set foot in there since it closed. I did see a notice from the council on the door the other day, but didn't stop to read. Must have a look, its just another empty shop in the village and we have too many of those. Most of them close and then re-open as hairdressers or takeaways....lol 

    Enjoy your evening. I've ear marked BBC1 tonight for the West end musicals thing. Love a bit of Alfie Boe

  • Mr Fluffy Pants honked and looked annoyed with himself as he walked backwards earlier. A few hours later he rolls in going 'starving, eat?!'
  • I want to know why they always move from the perfectly washable surface onto to one that's hard to clean. Mine was on the floor but ran to the stairs which are carpeted 😡luckily I managed to intercept him 😂

    I think I’d be mentioning to Mr SA that if the falls continue, a care home will probably be the best place for him to live. 

    Sending hugs to you SA x

    DGD had originally asked for the Drunk Elephant brand but her mum researched it and found it unsuitable. It’s frightening because you wonder what’s the next craze.
