    No I'm not going to go to the dentist, well, not just yet anyway. I'm sure they'll be fine - this happened last year sometime and it went away after a day. I have a slight chip on one of my lower teeth, and every now and again it aches because it gets sensitive. It's just this time it's not going away, but hopefully it will do by tomorrow :)

    Heeeeeey, long time no speak - what have you done to your other hand? I didn't go to the airshow in the end of account of it being such a rubbish day weather wise.

    Well, it's 13:19 and I've taken 4 Nurofen Plus and my teeth are STILL killing me! I'm meant to wait 4 hours between taking them, but in 3 hours the 4 I've had are not working :(

    I always seem to have a baby in the other hand -lol- as she likes very much to have cuddles and is not so keen on being on her own for more than a minute. It's lovely though. I got a new baby carrier today from Ebay which I've been trying out - I actually have 2 hands free for a change - might even update my diary this week :D

    Sorry to hear about the toothache - that is one of the worst pains. Hope it sorts itself out very soon!

    Hey Adam,

    Hope the teeth are better - it's a horrible pain to put up with.

    How did the BT go????

    Good news I hope! :D

    Teeth are feeling better today thanks. It was really annoying, but today they're feeling much better should should be back to normal tomorrow :D

    As for the BT I've applied through Lloyds TSB and should hear in a week or so. They're one of the only companies that doesn't seem to have an online decision, and so I have to wait and see what they say! It would be good to get that sorted before the holiday.

    Hi Adam,

    Sorry to hear about toothache but glad it seems better today.

    Keeping all limbs crossed for your BT, how long is it until you go away? :)

    Very happily married on 10th April 2013 :D

    Oh and forgot to mention, in December I told my mum about 'save the change'. It's with Lloyds TSB where every time you spend on your card, it rounds it up to the nearest pound and puts the rest in savings. So for example, if you buy something for £10.99 it puts £0.01 in savings.

    She forgot about this and checked the other day and had already saved £300!!! Dead impressed!
