Blimey just catching up on your diary. It's been a frantic few days!
Hope you can relax a bit now you are on holiday. The scooters keys will turn up somewhere unexpected no doubt.
I'm going to assume you have checked all of Mr SA's pockets and the ignition to the scooter..................3 -
ask the cleaner to keep an eye out for themxxx2

Well 10 minutes before the scooter man was due to arrive with a spare key, Mr SA asked me to pass him his bum bag when I felt something in the waistband. Yes it was the scooter key that had somehow got into it. I had to cut it out then apologise profusely to the scooter man 😖
Honestly Mr SA is hard work! It’s like looking after a toddler! He’s now decided he needs a new man bag, some sunglasses and a hat 😐

He’s now been barred from man bags with loads of zips.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)5
