    All the birthday shopping will give you something to concentrate on at least 🌷
    Have you paid up the July holiday, or just the deposit? I’d imagine the deposit would be easier to move. 
    It was paid for in full the day we flew to Lanzarote. I believe Jet2 would move it for a fee. It depends on how DD is.

    Happy Birthday to mr SA . I hope his shopping list issnt too arduous for you. Thry not to worry about dd too much. I know thats easy to say and very hard to do but you know she is being looked after and is in the best place. Could your ds pick up dds phone charger and drop it into to her, being able to talk to her might relieve your mind a bit. My best wishes to all of you.

    It's a shame that your holiday has been spoiled. I think everyone would feel  the same and just want to be home. If it turns out to be a similar thing to my husband you will be surprised at how quickly things return to normal. Once the blood levels were restored he recovered really quickly and within a couple of weeks was able to return to doing the things he normally does. Fingers crossed that it will be the same for your daughter. You will probably  be a bit worried now when you go away but hopefully that will pass.

    Happy shopping day to Mr SA. And I hope you find a nice gin.

    Great that DD has her phone charged again, being in hospital over a weekend can't be easy for people, with not much progress and in her case, not being able to retreat to her own space. It will have helped her to be able to talk to you, are you going to try to ring her again later?

    The cats will be sheltering somewhere: it's chucking it down here. Leaving the greenhouse open for them was a very good move.
    I think a bit of sunshine is good for frugal living. (Cranky40)

  • Between your DD and Mr SA I think you're being remarkably restrained not having a gin before the shopping trip too 😁
    Hope you manage to have some nice bits of the day.
    Glad you spoke to DD and the dog is happy. The cats will be fine, as long as some food has been eaten they'll just be having a cat-like sulk at the change in routine

    Thinking of you and sending gentle (((hugs))) XX
    I Believe.....
    That it isn't always enough, to be forgiven by others.
    Sometimes, you have to learn to forgive yourself.

    Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery
    Today is a gift. That's why it is called the present.

    happiness isn't achieved by getting extra things,
    but by getting rid of the things that make you unhappy
