    what a few weeks. viral infection, then tooth ache , couldnt get into my dentist for 3 days, then a tooth extraction today, pain was unbeleiveable, root infection, £56 lighter, off to the hospital today for pre operation study for two hours and bloods being retaken because 6 month wait list for operation have lapsed because of the crisis with beds, still no date, but will be going with a thumping mouth, on cocodamol hope it settles . apart from that £4 spend this week at work for meals. Liver and bacon tonight but looks a bit clumpy in slow cooker

    Must be in a minority here. I love liver. It's good for you and supercheap. Mind you, I'll eat just about anything.

    Hope your hospital appointment goes well. Six months is an awful long time to wait for an operation.
    Have adventures. laugh a lot and always be kind.
