    Thanks all !!
    I had a half day today. Unexpected but grateful for it..I came home and got my meditation in before I need to leave again to get DD. I will then take her for the extractions. I'm hoping no queues at dentist. I'm debating getting some hair colour too whilst near the shops. I've a lot of grey come through lately and I think it might perk me up a bit. So vain I know. I'm lazy with upkeep though that's what puts me off bothering 😂.

    Plant balls and pasta for dinner I'll make DD some veg soup instead. If I make enough she's got enough for a couple of days. 

    I walked into work this morning and turned down the offer of a lift. My foot has started hurting again though so not too happy about that. I've started listening to a podcast on the way as I have one very busy noisy road I need to walk down on the way to work and I think it's what's been putting me off walking...it can be deafening in rush hour. 

    NSD so far I will report back if I bothered with hair dye or not 🤔😊🤭. 

    Day off tomorrow and I'm hoping for a lay in as I'm super tired. Thankfully the orthodontist is at 12;30 so don't need to get up early for that.

    Aw my poor DD 🥺😥 she is super upset after the dentist. I think it was a bit traumatising as she knew what to actually expect this time. I could see her shaking 😓. I was holding her hand throughout and I don't do dentist/ or blood very well. But she was super upset. She has pain still from the ones out last week. Think she's fed up and also fed up of soft foods. Can't even get her to come round to the idea of 'it'll be worth it though ' this time. 
    I've told her she can have the morning off school if still in pain. She was only going in for an hour and half anyway and then we have to travel an hour to the orthodontist 🙈

    Also not a NSD I bought a treatment for my hair and a dye. £12 in all though so I didn't think that too bad.

    ahhh poor thing. It is really unpleasant having teeth out, but the mouth does heal really quickly. So hopefully with some painkillers for a few days she will be fine and a monring lie will be a nice treat!!

    Just a word of warning, couscous seems like a great soft option but it gets stuck in the holes and is tricky to
    remove.

    Don't ask how I know this.
