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) -.literally have been run over by a bike, mobility scooter and a car - still here 💪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!
