    If we buy the paint then we'll have to decorate taka ;)

    1.gifI have v bad toothache & can't get to dentist till Friday. Currently on painkillers, bonjela, Sensodyne and whisky :D. Ouch :(

    Me too... for a week now! :( We couldn't work out exactly which tooth it was either... X-rays didn't show anything so I'm on antibiotics and back to the dentist on Friday. Its either a tooth that has had a root canal or its neighbour (I think its the neighbour now). No pain so far today (Touch wood! ) on day 4 of antibiotics so fingers crossed. I hope you are pain free today and for the next day too!

    Ouch... I hope you work it out so you can get it sorted! No pain again today (touch wood!) but the dentist took further Xrays after hearing which tooth was hurting on Tuesday (not one of the origional suspects that got Xrayed last week!). Turns out one of the ones next to it that was just on the edge of the 2nd Xray (3 teeth over from the origional suspect!) shows signs of infection so will need a root canal but who knows if it is the one actually causing me pain! Neither of us is entirely convinced it is! *insert slightly frustrated rolling eyes smilie here* :rotfl:

    Fingers crossed this will sort it or I'll be asking for painkillers for Xmas! :o :rotfl:

    *Sigh*

    Now I just lost a filling on the other side of my mouth! Why did it happen 3 hours AFTER I'm at the dentist? :wall:

    I give up!

    Doh! Maybe that side of your mouth was jealous of the attention the other side was getting 2.gif
    Oops. Finally made it to furniture shop yesterday lunch time. I wanted a cheap console table for hall, which I got, lovely one for £69 :D. Em, it seems to have cost me nearly £500 5.gif

    Best empty out the study so I can decorate ready for the new desk & bookcase. And make room in spare room for lovely cheval mirror 3.gif

    OH has reluctantly agreed to go Xmas shopping this afternoon. So, the question is: just how long does it take to empty a room, fill in the holes, rub down and decorate? Answer: I don't know, best get off your a** and find out :rotfl:
