Thank you lovelies, the brace fitting was not fun shall we say....but it's over & done with at least, just a few months of wire tightening & then they're off & I will have lovely teeth ready for the big day!

Trying to talk is not going so well...why do so many words have S's or C's etc in...:o Work could be fun tomorrow, eek!
La Escocesa - Glad the move has gone smoothly & the table looks wonderful, great price
Tebheag - Eek hope Mr Tebheag gets his butt in gear, it's frustrating when you're doing everything you can & other key people are not fully on board...My OH is slowly getting there, he's not as much as me but I think he finally respects what I'm doing for us as he does try to remember to turn lights off etc now.
Zepsgal - Ouch that doesn't sound very good!! Hope you're feeling a bit better now
Candy - That's very good of you, glad things are ok between you & your bro
