    Whats a water flosser 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️
    Water flossers are brilliant. I’ve been using one for years. The gaps between my teeth are very close together which makes traditional flossing a nightmare, even the hygienist struggles. The water pressure literally shoots everything out.

    That water flosser sounds like a brilliant idea & would solve my 3 different sizes of flosser problem.

    Today didn’t pan out as planned. The GKs have a sickness bug so the Christmas market trip was abandoned. Mr SA suggested we go anyway but I wasn’t keen. It’s on every weekend until Christmas so we can go another week. 

    I was a bit disappointed but it can’t be helped. 

    I got the Christmas decorations out but I’m not putting them up until tomorrow. It feels a bit early but next Saturday is the Covid booster so fully expecting to feel dire again. I usually put the decorations up the first weekend in December. However the Christmas duvet is on🎄

    People have had their houses dressed up for Christmas since the Halloween gear came down here!

    It's become a bit of a local "landmark " here. People bring their kids in by car to see the Christmas lights on the estate.

    We put ours out today but we are far from the first.

    Sorry you missed the fair.
    I was at a garden centre with a friend today & you have to walk through the garden centre to get to the cafe.
    The stuff was so blooming expensive.

    I havent seen any Christmas decs up yet but I know a friends DD put hers up this week. Mine go up approx 5 days before Christmas and come down 1st Jan. This started when we used to have friends and GKs for new year and by the time the 1st came it was just easier to clear everything after visiting my Mum for her birthday on new years day and dropping the children at home.
  • Can't believe Mr SA has managed to damage his scooter yet again.  

    We don't put our decorations up until second weekend in December otherwise I am sick of them by the time we get to Christmas Eve.  Not many up around here yet.

    I’m normally fast asleep as this time but unfortunately wide awake waiting for an ambulance for Mr SA. He has fallen in the bath yet again. Estimated 7 hour wait for an ambulance. I woke up at midnight to go to the toilet to find him in there. I’m so annoyed with him 🤬 He’d had an accident and was trying to clean himself up, he knows this it what happens when he starts showering late at night, why does he keep doing it. I’m getting so fed up of the constant stress he causes.

  • SA I am awake , I am so sorry you are having to deal with this yet again . Hope it’s less than 7 hours waiting time and that Mr SA is ok . 
    Life is an adventure, never stop exploring.
