    Its going on and on for you, isn't it, MWC :( You're allowed to feel sorry for yourself in this situation, you know! I hope you're doing everything you can for pain relief and not "putting up with it" :( how are the antihistamines and antibiotics coming along?

    Just realised Mr MWC wasn't there either last night :( you poor thing

  • Thanks KC

    I'm feeling a bit brighter today :)

    The trout pout has gone :T
    No toothache :T
    My cheeks and lips still feel numb and tingly at the same time :(
    My guts are a bit dodgy :(

    Plans for today:

    - wrap Christmas puddings (1 medium, 6 small) in greaseproof paper and foil
    - QC check 7th small Christmas pudding!
    - finish cleaning bathroom and Mr MWC's office
    - choose another room and think about doing some housework
    - read water meter
    - pop to garden centre (if guts settle down :o)
    - apples!

  • you poor thing - tooth pain is horrid

    Of to write my own list as yours has motivated me and I won't get anything done today if I don't!!! Waiting for a parcel of stuff for work and I dare not miss it arriving so rather than working in my office I am in the lounge where I can watch for deliveries and I ended up watching madmen (going to look for 16 candles to watch tonight)

    Hope the tummy settles soon - I had a rather interesting few hours this morning myself and am waiting to see if I can get out the house as well. :rotfl: So glad to hear you're on the mend now though xx

  • :rotfl: still not sure if I'll make it to the garden centre!

    It has brightened up here and there is a breeze so I have pegged out the washing for a couple of hours.

    I was tempted by T&M's free plant e-mail :naughty: £4.95 P&P for a lucky dip perennials collection (36 plants)

    I've also updated CP with this week's purchases and completed a survey - I'll be able to order a £10 voucher tomorrow :T

    Time for another cuppa!

    I'm jealous - my washing is handing over clothes horses drying - it's wet and horrible out side.


    I only use my tumble dryer in times of dire necessity!


    Glad the toothache has gone.


    When I had my toothache the other week (probably sinus related) my lips were numb for a while, so I think it's all part and parcel until it settles down

  • Thanks GG

    1-2 local anaesthetic injections (2 of which hit a nerve) on 3 occasions in 7 days probably hasn't helped... I'm just thankful that I'm not in the same pain as last Friday :)

    It has suddenly got very dark again here but my weather app tells me that there is a 0% chance of rain...

  • Plans for today:

    - wrap Christmas puddings (1 medium, 6 small) in greaseproof paper and foil - done and hidden away
    - QC check 7th small Christmas pudding! - passed :drool:
    - finish cleaning bathroom and Mr MWC's office - done
    - choose another room and think about doing some housework - I hoovered the stairs!
    - read water meter - I'll do that now...
    - pop to garden centre (if guts settle down :o) - didn't happen...
    - apples! - rolled over... again...

    Mr MWC is home - briefly - the lucky so-and-so has a free ticket for the rugby in Cardiff on Sunday (and a hotel room for tomorrow night) and then he's off on a 4-day business trip on Monday morning. I'll need to go back to work on Monday for the company!
