Progress not Perfection

I'm so sorry, Mr SA seems to be consistently a little worse this year on all fronts. Do you know what I would do ? If he has plenty of spares (or if there are some reasonable shops nearby ) I would bin the soiled clothes and give yourself a break. Yes its not very MSE, but sometimes there is a cost that is very much worth it (and deserved)

Oh dear, @Sun_Addict, it does sound as though things are getting a little worse. It's not pleasant dealing with these things at home, but at least you have easy access to a washing machine, clothes line & fresh supplies of clothes. IBS can definitely be triggered by stress so there may well be a link there....however much Mr SA likes going out & having a holiday, I am sure that even on a subliminal level, there will be some background worry about how he will cope. Nobody wants to be having those kind of accidents. I hope you have a better day today without any mishaps & can perhaps get to have a stroll out on your own.

Would something like this help? https://www.ageukincontinence.co.uk/incontinence-shop/incontinence-by-gender/mens-incontinence-products/washable-pants-for-men/men-s-protective-pant-x-large-black.html It won't absorb it so you'd still need the pad and anything else you use, but it might help contain it enough to protect his clothing whilst you get somewhere to change?

I hope you manage to get a rest and relax at some point!

Thank you for the link. He has the tena pants at the moment but they’re disposable so the washable ones are worth looking into.

Thank you all 🙂

He’s asleep at the moment so I’m enjoying some peace on the patio with my book.

He’s got a new man bag so he’s happy for now until he moves on to the next thing. A lanyard has been purchased for the scooter keys.

We spent the morning walking (or scooting in his case) along the sea front then stopped for lunch before heading back to the hotel.

Thankfully I’ve managed to hand wash the clothes he had on last night and done a decent job. Good job I always bring rubber gloves with me.

Attaching a couple of photos from this morning.

Just look at that blue sea! It looks hot there. I've just about melted here in Notts today but I know you love the sunshine. Glad to hear there is now a lanyard & you were able to tackle the emergency laundry.

Looks lovely.
Glad you have had a nicer day and got out. That sea looks amazing. X

I always look forward to your holiday photos and those look so relaxing. I'm glad you managed to get those jobs out of the way and had a bit of peace and quiet.
