    Good buy on the spuds PN, hope the dental work went okay?
    I grew up with genuine dental fear, after an early traumatic and abusive event... so when I found the last one and he was good/kind I daren't change (but he was 200 miles away) .... but I just made the move and this new bloke's even better! It took longer than I expected and I wasn't familiar with his tools/methods, but he injected even better (didn't feel a thing, even though he did a 3rd/deeper to be sure) .... and the end result was more comfortable as I walked away.

    Winner :)

    I didn't expect to eat, but I did buy some choccy biscuits while out, so already managed four biscuits... still a little "fuzziness" in the injected area, but it's nearly all gone now.

    ......Winner :).

    :T:T: or should that be :D:D

    I gave the cat some of my chicken and I had a cheese ciabatta roll instead, real cba. I could hear my mums voice saying 'you can't eat cheese this late you'll have a bilious attack' it was years before I realised what that was, never had one as a teenager hopefully tonight won't be the first one :rotfl:

    I ended the day with a banana, so today's total food's been:

    Pie/chips
    4 choccy biscuits
    1 banana.

    If you count the calories, I bet that's practically a diet! :)

    Well, last night was another CFO evening, as hubby was not well and went to bed without any dinner, so I cooked myself a spag bol and have leftovers for lunch today. I had to bribe the cat with a bit of cheese in his bowl to get him to come out of the living room when I was ready to eat though.

    I've been busy again this morning and have just had a banana, a lemon Nakd bar and a bottle of water.

    A bad start to the day with an emergency trip to the vet, hopefully it is just a bad reaction to the jab he had yesterday but he could hardy move his back legs and was in a lot of pain. He came to me with a wariness of men and the male vet unfortunately hurt him whilst examining him (it couldn’t be helped). The poor cat was so terrified he was too scared to move, and I was stressed enough by the time I got home to need my inhale! Luckily, I have a boss who doesn’t react to texts saying ‘cat emergency I may be in but it will be late’.

    I hope the cat is okay!

    That's good. I went to a new hygienist and dentist last year and was surprised how good they both were. Very gentle and considerate.

    Good morning everyone,
    What a difference in the weather it's dry & sunny this morning though still cold!
    Need to get my gardening mojo sorted out and get those pansies potted and the tom seeds planted:).

    I hope the cat is okay! .


    He's a lot better thanks Wednesday, still not 100% as back legs are still a little stiff but he doesn't seem to be in pain (that will be the metacam injection) so I will monitor him at home as he is eating and could jump on and off the bed. He wasn't talking to me last night but decided to forgive me for a while 5am this morning! Just means delaying letting him out for a while longer

    Brambling -pleased the cats improving.
    PN -glad everything was ok at dentist, I hate refilling of teeth, they always seem to catch a nerve!

    I had Spanish chicken and parmentier potatoes last night, and a gf biscuit. Then had a pkt smoky bacon crisp at the quiz with half a bottle of wine!

    Beautiful blue sky and sunny this morning, I've had a large banana for breakfast, and I'm about to put lunch on , parsnip soup and toast, then pineapple with Greek yogurt and honey.
    I'm working 1.30 till 5.30 today so will miss the nice weather.
