I think the coffee thing is a man thing. My DS cannot make a coffee without slopping some on the worktop. Ever! On top of that he just doesn't seem to notice. After I have drunk mine I just go & mop up the mess. At least he knows where the kettle is so he isn't too bad.

It’s a childhood phobia I never grew out of, I have to have a chink of light or I panic and can’t breathe. We have a big bay window so blinds wouldn’t be straightforward. I’ll have to put up with Mr SA getting up early for a few months 😆

Morning all
Working in the office this morning but WFH this afternoon so I can be there for Mr SA's appointment. That's if it doesn't get cancelled again.
I was so annoyed with Mr SA last night, he knew I was at the friends of the park meeting but complained when I arrived back home at 9.15. We had a really productive meeting and it didn't start until just after 7.30 he seems to think I should just walk out halfway through! He said he was going to come out looking for me because it was so late! For goodness sake 😡 I hate this it makes me feel so trapped.
Anyway...
Money wise today will be NSD6 of March. I did a couple of surveys first thing to add to the pot to be cashed out at the end of the month and an oddment of £9 has gone to the Christmas pot.
Exercise is walking to/from work and Zumba at 6pm.
Tonight's dinner is scampi with rosemary and garlic swede fries and steamed veg.

That’s so hard SA. It’s just embarrassing when they rock up like a personal stalker, so I’m very glad he didn’t. MrWW once came looking for me when I was on a dog walk (I had stopped to have a nice chat with a neighbour and her dog) and I was furious. I was so glad I wasn’t talking to her at the time he raced up in (my) car saying he thought dog might have needed ferrying back (she had form for going a bit wobbly). If I had needed assistance I would have just rung! He has never done it again though, thank goodness. I think he realised he had crossed a stalker line. After the first MrWW, I couldn’t do that again!I don’t think they realise how important freedom and autonomy is for women, who in recent history had that taken away from them…Not all who wander are lost - J.R.R.Tolkien

The GP called almost an hour late, but anyway, the upshot is Mr SA is being referred to an occupational therapist and a physiotherapist. The OT will come and look to assess whether there's a need for extra rails etc. Not holding my breath for any immediate action but at least the ball is rolling - finally!
