I need to run the holiday idea past DD before booking anything. She’ll need to take 3 days off work or change her work days so the dog isn’t on her own. She’s also waiting for a date for her gallbladder surgery.Massive declutter of Mr SA’s wardrobe done ✔️ The amount of stuff he had in there. It was like an episode of Sort Your Life Out! I completely emptied everything out and made him decide what he wanted to keep. He even culled his man bags. I now have 1 bin liner for the CS and 2 to go in recycling. The amount of times he said ‘I didn’t know I had that’ 😐
He and the dog are asleep at the moment and DD’s at work so nice and peaceful here.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)7 -

I really hope DD can get the time off work to enable you to have a mini break in your happy place.2

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. x2 -
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!Finally Debt Free! - July 2016 🌟
