    Have been thinking of new signs to put on ebay, think I am going to put more effort into there. This month was fab over £100 and not even trying :)

    car signs, bedroom door signs etc, just doing research to see if there is any I can do that there arent many of. There are a few ideas and I might start doing the 'beware of the dog' door signs too.

    Had the dreaded dentist this morning. The one thing I dread more than anything. I walked in their shaking and then broke down. How stupid am I??? They must have thought I was a right nutter! To be fair to him though he was such a lovely man. Apparently I have an infection AND probs with my wisdom tooth all rolled into one :eek: He has referred me to the hospital to have a tooth took out and to look at the wisdom tooth too. But he did say that the waiting list is long and could take up to 6 MONTHS!! I have been given antibiotics to hopefully take the infection and pain away :( I then have to go back and see the dentist in February again.
    My total fear of dentists has to be overcome to sort my teeth out. I have vowed to conquer and promised myself to keep it up next year and every year thereafter!!

    Am planning to pop into town and hopefully get a few more bits for xmas as I saw some when I was with my son (typical!) so hoping they are still there today!

    Well done pam on all your over payments and for managing to walk through the door at the dentist!!!!!!!!!

    In my book, you are a star to have done that. Dentists should be banned.

    Where do you get all your freebies from btw, I could do with a few.
