    Isn't it strange though how Mr SA can't be bothered to open a ring pull soup can but can open his cans of beer with no prob!😉

    I thought the same about the ring pulls! Maybe the ones attached to cans of beer require less physical exertion?
    Sorry you didn't win the award, but I am sure we all agree on here that you are definitely OUR winner!
    Hope your daughter will soon be out of hospital. At least it wasn't the aneurysm re-asserting itself. 
    Hope you will soon be a little less crazy-busy & will be able to sit down with a good book & a glass of gin.
    2026's challenges: 1) To rebuild our Emergency Fund to at least £5k.
    2) To read 50 books (12/50) 3) The Re-Shrinking of Foxgloves 8.1kg/30kg
    Remember....if you have to put it on a credit card, extend your overdraft or take out a loan to buy whatever it is, you probably can't afford it, as that's not your money, it's somebody else's!
