    Thank you to everyone for kind and much appreciated dentist wishes.

    The good news is that the disappearing locum has re-appeared to do one day a week. He does seem to know his stuff. He had actually heard of the anti-coagulant drug I'm on!

    Less cheery is the inevitability of a challenging extraction with a wait of another six weeks, and the iffy state of the next door crowned tooth. It is apparently a failed crown and "Someone seems to have tried to mend it".

    My mother had all her teeth removed as a 21st birthday present. It was a fashionable gift.

  • Emptied another 2 crates of paper/ rubbish. That's another 2 crates to fill with proper stuff when I move.
    Bought a computer desk about 18 months ago . I have taken the computer and speakers off. Now I have to clear it , with a view to giving to a charity shop.
    As for coat hangers , loads of them .
    So, still a lot to do,but at least I'm getting consistent :)

    Don't attempt to give coat hangers to a charity shop. Let them set up a breeding colony, then release them into the wild.

    You would certainly get an empty seat next to you on the tube/bus, with an armful of coat hangers.
  • Actually, it probably will be best to give them to a charity shop .
    Nowhere else for them:)
    1 more day to go ...

    Around here charity shops are snottily dismissive of coat hangers. I was told they are sick of telling people they don't want them.

    Friday is now tomorrow!
