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 nightyou 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)
- apples!Mortgage at highest (April 2008): ~£195,000

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 xxa penny picker upper.

: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£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

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 downEarly retired - 18th December 2014

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...Mortgage at highest (April 2008): ~£195,000

- pop to garden centre (if guts settle down) - 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!Mortgage at highest (April 2008): ~£195,000
