Bottom teeth are less painful today, making the pain much more bearable as it's just one tooth at the top which is causing trouble now. It's been causing me trouble for months though so I'm gonna get it pulled.
So, another dentist appt scheduled for Friday morning. Should be pain free by the end of the weekend :j
Toots list is slowly getting filled. And would be getting done if the landlord would pick up.0 -

Five birds are sitting on a telephone wire. Two decide to fly south. How many are left?
Obvious answer is - three
but I know that is going to be wrong.
Oh, wait a minute
Five - because they have only decided - not taken off0 -
Just before Christmas the WM went kaput so I spent a couple of weeks washing by hand and attempting to dry stuff. Now the TD has gone kaput which is a pain in the rear! No money yet to buy a new one
I've got stuff draped on a clothes airer, but I don't hold out much hope that it will actually dry. Isn't it supposed to be summer
My MIL died last week of pancreatic cancer, and my DH has inherited everything. Most of it is still in South Africa until the will is sorted, but she did have money in a bank here, which he can access. I'm not going to actually ask him if he will spend some on a TD - I'll just wait until he finds he has no clothes to wear! I can't be hard on him because he's obviously still grieving.
I've been on a 5 mile walk today - I started trying to get fit and lose weight a few months ago. Lost a stone so far, and feel much fitter. :T0 -
