    Glad your dog was safe.

    I would be having very stern words with Mr SA about that one!

    Very difficult to live with your situation SA.  He seems to be oblivious to anything except his needs and wants.  From what you've said previously this was in his character prior to the brain damage, but was probably mitigate by other behaviours, which have deteriorated due to the brain injury.
    I hope you can release some of your frustration on here, knowing that we all support you, albeit virtually (((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

    How’s Dd doing now?
    She's in really good health. She has a hospital appointment next month, I think this is for her gall bladder pre-op.

    Glad the dog is ok.
    Do you find the organisation that deals with brain injuries (Head***) offer much support?

    That's Wednesday done. Worked in the office until 2pm and finished up at home.

    Payday 😁 The money shuffle has been done. Money waiting to send to regular savers tomorrow. Not buying any premium bonds this month as it's my birthday soon and I have several catch ups/meals out so the £100 will be put to good use for that.

    An oddment of £7.88 has gone to the Christmas pot.

    Two freebies today a coffee courtesy of 0ct0pus and a pack of lentil curls courtesy of Lid!.

    Small spends day £2.03 in Lid! and £2 on a handmade bracelet from a charity event at work. I managed to lose said bracelet less than an hour after I bought it but luckily found it underneath my desk. Obviously didn't tie it on properly. 

    Exercise today has been walking to/from work including walking up 12 flights of stairs 3 times today. I have a Zumba class at 6pm so that will take me well over 20,000 steps as on just over 18,000 now. 

    Tonight's dinner is air fried salmon, rice and steamed veg.

    I seem to remember he had a phase of moving your keys a few months ago and I think you traced it back to him feeling insecure about something. Could this be similar? (Sorry I can't remember precisely what was going on).
