    Today’s exercise has been dog walking, pottering around the house and garden, strength training tonight and shouting at Mr SA! 
    The above made me laugh  :)
    My favourite part of my hols prep is thinking about what to read

    Yes I remembered but thanks for the reminder anyway 👍

    I don't suppose you could leave Mr SA in the lounge for the duration and pick him up on your way back? :)

    Money wise it’s been NSD1 of September. Finances have been checked and pots reconciled. The regular savers have been fed and another £150 overpayment has gone to the mortgage. Only 3 more payments to go plus a tiny amount of remaining balance (about £80) due on 1 January then that’s the mortgage finally done. I’ve made a new budget for January onwards. 

    I keep trying to steam mop the kitchen floor but Mr SA is constantly shuffling in and out of the house. Just when I think he’s settled down/asleep he reappears.

    I shouldn't laugh, @Sun_Addict, as I know your patience is sorely tried at times, but I do love tales of Mr SA's packing.

    Made it to the airport lounge. The airport is very busy so thankful I booked it.
