    Surprisingly well! He's had no breakages since the initial 5 or 6 in the first couple of weeks :eek: I'm still on toothbrushing duties though and will be for the duration I think.
    Yes, it's tightened every 6-8 weeks. They're only supposed to be allowed 4 breakages in the duration of the treatment but thankfully they gave him a bit of leeway.......they know what a long slog we had to even get to the point he could have them fitted :A

    Ah that's good, it will all be worth it, he's doing brilliantly. Well done you for perseverance too, it will pay off when he has nice straight teeth :)

    I have been soo busy the last few weeks, have no idea what is glitching and not got time to go anyway, have I missed much.

    Think I have lost my mojo anyway :(

    This weekend I am busy with the wedding and then the following weekend I have RACE FOR LIFE which I cant wait to do, such a fab cause.

    Tinyshoes, glad you enjoyed your party, and your dress looked fab.

    So i just got the exciting news that my flat should be finished in the next few weeks - after living back at home for 2 years to save pennies i am most excited! However....i have brought wallpaper for everywhere - my bedroom, lil mans bedroom and front room - and just been told cannot wallpaper for first 2 years (have to wait for settlement cracks!), am absolutely gutted - i really dont want to live with Magnolia walls! builder has told me i can paint - has anyone seen any bargains anywhere for paint? i know this probably isnt the right place to ask, but having been reading this thread for weeks now and trying to learn tips off you all (im slowly getting there!) i thought i'd ask anyway...thanks xx

    If you want a wallpaper like effect there are stencil rollers you can get. I first saw them on The Great Interior Design Challenge. If you don't have a steady eye can always mask off a line to follow. Not sure where you can buy them (written in a note book somewhere). Sure etsy or pininterest would have details.

    I am also excited. Put a holding deposit on a new build house yesterday. Due to be ready in September. Gives me time to deal clutter here first:rotfl:
    Will be back on the property ladder again but more importantly will have much more security.
    Thanks to my wonderful Dad:A

    It`s nice to be important, but its more important to be nice.
