    Managed to watch a Xmas movie, but it doesnt count as it wasn't on my list 😂😂

    I picked up the chocs I needed for the birthday boy, it's not for a could of weeks, but I need to get his bits done so I can finish the  xmas shopping! I also got chocs needed for Xmas and a couple of new toys for the dog, he just needs a bag of treats and he's done! 
    The eldest and gf are done I think although there is something still in the post. 
    Ds2 needs a proper winter coat now he's up north 😂 so will have to wait until he comes home and take him shopping for that! 
    And going to get a few more bits for DD tomorrow, going to brave the big town!

    Sorry to see things haven't fully settled. 

    Belated birthday greetings 🥳 

    Glad you've taken some time back by transferring patients to the new guy, seems like it is working well for both of you.

    Stop pushing so hard to fill your time, you're unwell and things will need to wait or family can pitch in to stop it all falling on to your shoulders. Can DD pack a few items to change into so she's not in wet clothes next time?
    Mortgage started 2020, aiming to clear it in 2026.
  • Ooh congrats on the mortgage getting to under 55! that is fab! Mine just dipped into 118 and I was excited :lol: (will go back up once they add interest though). 
    Hope you get that tooth sorted soon, it really has been going on a while now and must be so annoying. Nothing worse than pain that affects eating & drinking as well.

  • Morning, 
    Flip my mouth is sore! 
    Am so utterly fed up with teeth issues,! 
    Will take pain killers and then I have to go to work. I only have 1,so that's good. 
    Then to collect DD from college as she only has 1 lesson today.

    Then I need to make a small list and be at least a little bit productive! 
    Had a look at my banks accounts and it's a very sad affair, there's a lot less coming in and with the time if year, a lot going out. 
    CC has about 700 on it and most of that is dentist! 

    Time to make a bit of a plan saving pots wise and think ahead to next year

  • I can relate to the bank accounts being a sad affair.....
    I made some homemade mouth wash with clove oil in which might help you? If you have any in that is...

    Hope today passes quickly and as painlessly as possible!
