It's probably best if you pack for Mr S_A anyway. I had to remove a full polo neck jumper from the late MrC's case before our honeymoon in Tenerife. Then there was the time he went camping on Anglesey and I didn't check his case. The only trousers he had for the whole week were the ones he was wearing and a pair of jogging pants. I hope that you have a lovely time on your jolly hols!6

Aw thank you all for your lovely messages 😊
Mr SA was never the best of packing pre brain damage so no chance of it happening now 😬
I’m about halfway through my to do list. Mr SA is in bed asleep.The young woman who did my nails said her partner is really good at cleaning and every Saturday while she’s at work he gives their house a super clean so when she gets home everywhere is spotless. I told her he’s a keeper. Where did I go wrong!Anyway next task is cleaning. 20,000 plus steps will be hit today on 15,382 already.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)6 -
