    Good for you SA, although I think he's probably forgotten what the word 'No' means :astonished:  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

    A fancy phone could only lead to more problems if he wanted to link the apps to your card for purchases. Best he be steered away from those completely 😖 Could you tell him he needs to save up from his pocket money? A hundred years should just about do it!

    Glad DD feels a bit better. Hope they'll find out what the problem is next week. 

    We got a cordless vac when I broke my wrist last year. It is amazing. Can do the whole house so quickly and it picks up so well.

    Hugs. Hope both of the hospitalized ones get the care they need and come home - after you have had a little rest though. They keep sending my roommates home too fast so I don't get any quiet time in there.

    Oh no SA. There is no let up for you is there.I would suggest a few days oof work with stress but that would mean you have Mr SA 24 hours a day. assuming they dont keep him in hospital.  Try to look after yourself. I am sending virtual hugs.

    Oh my word, poor you. ...and poor Mr SA as well. Wonder if he picked up some virus on the plane on way home? Could be covid maybe? 
    You definitely need a few days off work. You can't cope with all this.

    Oh no. So sorry to hear this @Sun_Addict. It is the last thing you need at the moment & it's definitely time you got a break. It's possible an infection might have been picked up on the plane. My friends both had an awful bout of covid a few months ago from a flight they took just before. Whatever it is, he is better off in hospital while they sort him out. In the meantime, I'm hoping there are some better days on the horizon with your name on them.
