    Im so sorry you’re feeling alone SA - it must be so difficult for you at times and it’s great that you and lucky can support one another.

    I think we tend to be rather lighthearted on here about Mr SA sometimes - mAinly to try and cheer you up a bit as you do so much and are an absolute rock. It’s easy to forget sometimes that he is disabled and his cantankerousness stems from that. I certainly don’t know if I could cope like you do under the circumstances. You have my undying admiration.

    Then he reminded me that he still wants the bootee slippers and when am I picking them up. Not gone that blank then.

    :rotfl::rotfl: that tickled me. Bless you... (both) xx

    Thanks folks :)

    He asked me to make sure he was awake before I left for work this morning as the episode scared him. He seemed ok but rang me at work to ask what day it was.

    We've moved all the furniture from our room into DD's room. OMG the mess! Will be so glad when this week is over, really fed up of the mess now.

    So it's back to sleeping on the mattress tonight. Mr SA will have to move it in the morning, not sure how but he's refused to sleep on the sofa which would've been easier in the long run.

    Went to the gym at lunchtime and today has been NSD 2.

    Carpets being fitted on stairs, hall and our room tomorrow, then DD's room Wednesday. Not heard anything from them since they rang to confirm the dates so assuming it's all systems go.

    DD is going to sleep on the sofa tomorrow night so her bed can go in our room. Pity Mr SA isn't so sensible, one night wouldn't hurt, he just won't put himself out.

    Mr SA has just reminded me yet again about the bootee slippers. He's not going to forget them is he?
