    I’m currently toying with the idea of going to Ibiza for 3 nights at the beginning of September (or maybe a week 🤣).....
    For a moment, I thought you were thinking of escaping on your own as you said "I'm" :D

    I wish 🤣🤣 It was just me thinking about it before unleashing the idea on Mr SA.

    I really hope DD can get the time off work to enable you to have a mini break in your happy place.

    Maybe hide the man bags so when he wants another, he gets a 'new' one.
    September 2017 Debt = £25330

    Starting afresh.

    You can do anything if you put your mind to it. x

    Glad to hear Mr SA appears to be on the mend. Also if I were you I'd get rid of those bin bags pronto!  If you leave them lying around he's going to start to want to re-sort them and decide to keep most of what he decided to get rid of!
    Another here who thinks you should go to Ibiza!  Shame you can't sneak over there on your own!
