Good luck with the dentist, sure it will be fine.
I gave up on pinecone as got sick of the preliminaries not turning into surveys, you've inspired me to try againHOME

I have a lady dentist and yes......she is eye candy
. I just relax and don't think about the pain at all
.
It's always a different dental nurse each time I go........but they've all been eye candy too!!

Thanks for the good wishes - am as ready as I can be! Had a good breakfast and beta blocker taken.
Gorgeous day here, so some R&R in the garden later is on the cards all being well
Financials this morning include another 11p in Qmee and Qu!dco have £3.11 ready to be paid. Only 9 days until I send the next capital mortgage payment and spreadsheet fiddling tells me I can send approx £1177, a £500 OP in there.
Sadly my Great Aunt passed away overnight, she was 95, but still the party animal of the family until last month when for the first time in her life, she became ill. Wonderful memories and am sure she'd prefer 'Knees Up Mother Brown' to a sad song at her farewell.Back on the DFW Wagon:

Sorry to hear about Great Aunt. But, 95 and loving the life all that time. InspirationalMade it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became
In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!0 -
Well I made a fuss about nothing with the wisdom tooth - it was out in seconds
Hardly impacted and I don't look like a guinea pig either
. Cost me £79 for the pleasure though :eek:
Thanks Lucky and Watty - yes, great age and lived life to the full for sure. Sorry to hear of your loss too Lucky, sad times.Back on the DFW Wagon:

Thanks Beanie.
Another spendy day today - aside from dentist, I filled up with fuel at £38.50 (should last a month) and have done the food shop tonight at Ald! - £26.06.
Felt ok from this morning, just a little sore, so dug over and prepared some more of the new border and went to the nursery to look at plants and spent £40 :eek: . Planted several of those with more to do tomorrow.
Financials:
- bank account checked - not much happening there
- freepostcodelottery checked
- Inbox Pounds - up at £1.70. Cheque for £20.16 processed and hopefully will be here in time to add to mortgage payment next week
- Qmee - 11p in the pot
- P!necone - yet another prelim survey in and done. DFOD - hope you get back onboard, there's been loads lately, both prelims and paid ones.

Sorry to hear about your great aunt, but really pleased she lived a fun life to a great age.
Pleased that the wisdom tooth was pai free albeit expensive.
How does £38 petrol last a month? I'm in awe. I spend £80, although will be more like £100 this month with visiting people with me being off work.HOME

Hi ali-ok i thought id pop in and say hi and welcome, i'm so sorry that you have just lost your Aunt.
Further back in your diary I noticed you were looking for.cheaper cinema tickets? You may already have seen this on mse but i bought a cheap travel ins.policy through compare the market to get the "Meercat movie" codes, like orange weds but also valid tues, the policy was a one day single person holiday in the uk for about £1.60 i think, codes on their website weekly for a year. Definatly valid at vue and i think a few others.MFW 67 - Finally mortgage free! 💙😁0
