Mr SA now has something else to worry about as the surgery has called to say the GP wants to see him about the results of the tests he had last week. He's got an appointment for Monday.

We can get email bin reminders too although we get longer notice. In the middle of last night 1.19 to be precise I got the warning to put out one of my bins by 7am tomorrow. When you have one bin to put out every other Thursday & 3 other bins only one of which goes out every Friday it is very useful. We too occasionally have an issue but often we just leave them out & eventually they get collected, but it helps living in a cul de sac.2

It's always worrying when 'they want to see you' but there are a couple of positives: not too long to wait and at least he's been tested which gets him a little closer to feeling better.
Nice that your holiday pot has been boosted!I think a bit of sunshine is good for frugal living. (Cranky40)

Well I am so cross with Mr SA tonight 😡 I’ve caught him on several occasions going into the cupboard where I keep my gin and he’s brushed it off as “just looking”. Even DD mentioned she’d caught him looking in that particular cupboard while I was in the bath/shower. Tonight I actually caught him necking it neat from the bottle 🤬 I’ve thought for some time it’s been going down too fast. I can be a bit generous with measures sometimes but on the whole I measure it with a spirit measure and I only drink it at the weekend.Annoyingly he denied it despite being caught red handed! He had the cheek to say he doesn’t like the taste of gin!
So I’ve had to hide it in a different location. I’m so annoyed that I’ve had to do this though.I’d only gone to sit outside for just 10 minutes after I’d finished work while I was cooking dinner and he took advantage of me not being able to see him - or so he thought.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)4 -
Arrrghhh ! That’s bloody annoying. I’d sit down tonight and crack one of his beer cans open !Sealed pot challenge 822
