At least if Mr SA is in bed you've got a bit of peace. Hope he doesn't pester too much!

Is it worth presenting as look what I have bought and pre washed for you rather than 'what you already have'? I've already got you this this and this, and we just need to get you this (nominal £10) thing?' Does he remember things he owns?My mortgage free diary: https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6498069/whoops-here-comes-the-cheese

Happy Easter Saturday 🐣
@redofromstart no he doesn’t remember what he’s got. When I get his case out he’ll rediscover all the things he forgot about.Another item added to the holiday pester list today - sandals 😐 He was going on and on and on about them. He needs them now he can’t wait any longer! He announced he’s going in town tomorrow on his own to get everything he needs. Part of me wanted to not tell him the shops are closed tomorrow, I should’ve just let him go 😆 How dare the shops close on Easter Sunday when he needs new sandals 🤣
I can see me having a battle on my hands on Monday though.Anyway…
Did a Zumba class this morning then took the dog on the park for a run. After that went to the local shops and decided to carry on to the big Mr T on the off chance they had the 15p onions - no 😞 However the little Mr T was doing them for 35p so bought those as still a good saving.After lunch did some weeding/garden tidying and set Mr SA on potting on yet more sugar snap peas and mangetout to take his mind off sandals.Tonight is pizza night and the rose cava has been in the fridge since first thing 🥂🍕
As I don’t like hot cross buns and I’m really not bothered about Easter Eggs, I haven’t got anything Easter related to eat I’m afraid.I’m 227 steps away from 20,000 so about to set that right 🙂I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)6 -
Could you save delivery bags and present old things as 'look what I got for you?'My mortgage free diary: https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6498069/whoops-here-comes-the-cheese

I had my 1 st hot cross buns of the season yesterday- I love them and usually succumb as soon as they hit the shops. They were delicious 😁
I haven’t got any Easter eggs as I still have chocolates left from Christmas.Does Mr SA sleep or just rest and watch tv? At least it’s giving you some peace.January spends - £587.582 -
Enjoy pizza and rosè cava evening!
Tempting as it is, probably good you're not letting Mr SA go to the closed shops, I can just imagine you getting a call from the police because he's tried to ramraid primarni with his scooter 😁

You are so active! 15K , 20K steps, Zumba, running, I am slothful in comparison
Do you use a Fitbit or your phone?
Pizza and Cava sounds fab. Enjoy
