    I am now being tempted by Butti's big TV...

    I want to go to bed but the tv in the bedroom is so tiny compared to the one downstairs that I need binoculars to see whats going on..

    and I want to go to bed and watch poirot with a glass of wine.

    Yeah, it is a long camera tube. It's fun to watch the screen though, I kept expecting an alien to leap out. It is odd though having a guy with his finger in a *ahem* sensitive place talking about his wife and kids.

    Sammy, I agree with him about the scale and polish though, I had a filling without anaesthetic with no problem, but the cleaning part was awful!
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.

    Sally - I know this might sound a bit extreme to get in the car etc but if your boiler is still foo-barred and you need hot water for showers etc, you're more than welcome to come to my house xx In fact, any problem I can help out with if the washing machine ever packs up etc.

    Thank you thats so kind....I might just have to make an excuse to come and see you :)

    Ames - how on earth do you have it done without a sedative? Twice I can remember either shouting in pain, or last time, wriggling around! and that was with a high sedation.

    The scale hurt a LOT more....cos the evil woman was going under the gum line and got all this black crap out, so it was needed. But I did brave a filling with no anaesthetic so my mouth felt like it was mine for once.

  • now, missus Sally. You don't need any excuse to come and see me.

    Just give me lots of notice so I can stress about making sure the house is regimentally clean!!!! (well, the horrible, nasty, embarrassing bathroom at least!!)

    Sometimes, timing is perfect. I was feeling quite sad and being a sentimental wuss over my old house and then got a lovely phone call.
