    HHi?
    Hello can I play please?

    Had a major sort out recently as I was nearing a Kim and Aggie state. Not everything is sorted but I just want some motivation to keep on top of it.

    Not great at posting regularly but will read each day.
    Depression is well Depressing. So I go shopping. Then I realise how much debt I'm in. Then my depression hits low and so I go shopping...

    All running about done for today, hubby enjoyed his lesson, kids screamed the whole time waiting. DD is now half way through the S&L, can't wait until it's finished.

    Took DS2 to the doctors and he has a virus on his neck, arm and down his side, so cream for him. I finally said about my toe nail and he wanted me to get removed but i said no, so i'm on tablets for 2 months and hopefully it will grow ok.:eek:

    Suppose i should make a start on the kitchen list while the kids are out playing.:D

    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    Well, I have flown. The front room is respectable again. It needed sorting. After getting her Dip Hyp, DD is now studying counselling and as part of that she has to do some case studies. She advertised on Gumtree and has chosen two people to counsel. Only trouble is, she's bringing them here, which meant negotiations as to exactly where the session would take place.

    In the end we decided on the front room. So, it's been bottomed out and is looking MUCH better and far more presentable. I have flung loads of stuff (bin day tomorrow and there was room!) AND sorted out the little drawer under the computer and my knicker drawer. I'm employing the AnW patented dot-to-dot approach I think.

    I have also managed to get an emergency appointment with my dentist for tomorrow morning. I bit into some raw carrot and a chunk of tooth fell off! :eek:

    There is no pain (fortunately!) but there is what feels like a big hole there. As it was the side of a very very heavily filled tooth that came off, I'm not sure if it can be saved :(

    I have also done a gazillion loads of washing - that was another thing that went by the wayside over my frantically filled month. I now have a shed load of ironing to do ~sigh~

    Oh, talking of shed loads. I wondered this afternoon where the phrase came from. I always thought it referred to the contents of a shed but then there was a travel bulletin where the presenter mentioned a road closed whilst "a shed load was cleared up". I immediately thought "a shed load of what?" but then realised he was talking about a load falling off a lorry.

    I really must get a life - querying the semantics of a radio travel bulletin presenter?

    Time for gin I think...

    I lost a good portion of a heavily filled tooth a couple of months back - dentist saved it and it's fine! Fingers crossed for you!

    Thanks for the vibes Mummy'sLB and for the benefit of your experience cyclingy. I do hope he can save it. He's a good dentist, reasonably priced and he has built up my trust (I'm a scaredy cat when it comes to my teeth)

    When I first went there a couple of years ago, after not having seen a dentist for years, because a chunk of another tooth fell out, he was v. good and let me whimper and cry all I liked and was very understanding. He saved that tooth.

    The tooth the chunk has fallen out of has been a problematic one. He wasn't sure when he worked on it when sorting out the rest of my teeth after the initial visit for the broken one if he could save it but he has done so far. Maybe there's hope and he can just stick a bit of super glued filling on the side....
