    Tag, there's no need to be scared of the dentist, they're great, anything is better than toothache.:D

    I'd rather go to the dentist a kazillion times then go on a flight again.;)

    Ah well you see, I'd rather go flying around in an plane a kazillion times than go to the dentist. :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
    Just listed 6 things on ebay. I love the selling but I'm not to keen on the packaging and posting.
    Right I suppose I'd better go and find my list again.

    [FONT=&quot][/FONT][FONT=&quot]HomeSpun[/FONT][FONT=&quot] I was just reading through your daily things and I noticed that you had 7 days of feeding your cat and dog – do they not eat some days.. it just struck me as funny, sorry strange sense of humour [/FONT]J[FONT=&quot] How was the hotpt that DD1 made?[/FONT]

    Lol - I know what you mean, but some days the dog doesn't eat :rolleyes:, no rhyme or reason behind it really, she just won't eat dog food for a day :confused:, other days, I forget to put food down for her as she never asks :o:rotfl:, so if I put it in my dailies, I always know I've put food down for her. The cat on the other hand, you can't forget - she howls like a banshee when she's hungry. God that makes me sound like a really bad pet owner, but I'm not - honest :D.

    DD1s hotpot was lovely (apparently - I don't eat lamb, but I tried some of the veg and it was good!). The only compaint OH had was that there wasn't enough :rolleyes:. It was a recipe to feed 4, I added extra veg to it and it fed three children and him so I don't know what his problem is, might give him one of the dogs worming tablets :rotfl:.

    I've put another load in the WD, but done nothing else. I've also worked out what the tummy problem is/was (I think it's going). I had the audacity to eat a chocolate muffin last night :rolleyes:. Every so often, for a period of about 4 months, I seem to develop an intolerance to eggs. It eventually goes away and all is well, normally, but I had eggs in stuff last week a couple of times and my stomach hurt a bit (think copious amounts of gas and a severe over eating binge on really hot curry - it's the best way I can describe the feeling). However it has got worse each time lately and last night must have been that because of the muffin :rolleyes:. It was agony and I've had about two hours sleep, whereas normally I can sleep through the pain. I did go to the doctors about it about a year ago and she said it was quite normal to develop 'temporary intolerances' and I would grow out of it (I'm 34 :rotfl:).

    I will go do something, when I've had another coffee ;)

    Triker...poor you! I think I have a tooth with a hole but I know he'll pull it out so too scared to go :rotfl:

    Natty68...didn't go anyway but just didn't post anything yesterday, or maybe one thing. Everyone has gone quiet :( Thanks for the encouragement!

    10 mins and the baby goes to nap which gives me an hour to do more kitchen. Gone cold all of a sudden though as the sun has disappeared so I might clear the grate so I can light a fire. Had to turn the heating up a touch as my washing isn't drying either.
    Fluttering about an inch off the ground, I may fly properly one day and soar in the clouds!

    Okay going to start one quick question What do people put intheir DW when putting them on a clean cycle?

    I put dirty pots in my DW.. and potties, cat bowls, litter trays, mooncups, oven shelves and the drawer from the WM.. ok.. anything normal people wash in their sink.. I put in the DW.

    I've loaded 1 TD dryer today.. helped a fellow student with 3 assignments and done nothing else..

    Now I MUST start dinner.. I have to eat before I go tonight!

    Been to the gym (20 minutes on treadmill - very slow powerwalking ;) ) and an hour's pilates.

    Came home, had lunch (chicken & millet - suppose I should have some veg & fruit at some point).

    Am now going to try to motivate myself to get going on my flying so there's no weekend backlog... although all I really want to do it lie on the sofa and read a book!

    Triker - hope you feel better soon. Take painkillers, lie on the sofa and get everyone to run round after you for a bit!

    Gryfon - a hole in your tooth doesn't necessarily mean an extraction. It might just be a small filling, or possibly a root canal. Extraction is the last resort. Go to the dentist before you lose the tooth.

    jjef - I put soda crystals in the DW to clean it, as grease is the problem rather than limescale. If it was limescale I guess I'd put vinegar in...

    pigpen - don't forget to do the 'before' pics please!
