KonMari 2017 - The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up

Slinky that's the only reason why I am glad we are in Denplan - it costs money each month, but i've had root canal + re-do, several fillings, 6-monthly hygienist appointments and 6-monthly dental appointments in the last 3 years without any extra cost. When I tallied up the outgoings 2 months ago I was well in profit!

Absolutely no chance of NHS dentist round here! None will take nhs patients any longer. DH furious so is boycotting dentists. Talk about cutting your nose to spite your face. I'd happily use nhs if i could but am philosophical about current situ because we are lucky to be able to afford the necessary treatment and the stuff I am having done now is the first for ages and should last well. My dentist is very experienced and seems to take pride in every bit of her work. Yester she was replacing a very very old filling that had chipped off at a corner years ago. She took a while to get the new filling exactly how she wanted to restore the tooth shape and although she only charged the standard rate she has in fact done a great cosmetic job as well as the necessary repair. So now I can :rotfl:

Yesterday i took a leaf out of GQ's book and shopped my wardrobe. I took the opportunity to wear some footwear I bought last year (in a sale ) that have had very few outings, for various reasons.
They look like trainers, with a great grip, but are more cut out - not quite sandals though. Not describing very well, sorry! They are soooooo comfortable and were just right yester for a fairly steep walk in hot, dry weather. They do indeed spark joy.

Right, have to kondo a large bag of carrots (rtc, 30p) into soup; do some cleaning, hang washing, and go though one COD with a view to releasing at least 5 garments. I have bought 5 items over the last couple of weeks, so the 5 oldest, raggiest, unloved items can go from COD to make room for lovely new things There is still plenty to choose from because many of my clothes are ancient :rotfl:

Yep we are with Denplan - I stuck with my dentist of over 25 years when he went 'private' a few years ago. He sorted out some shocking dental work I had had done as a child which was all done free by him as I was pregnant at the time and 25 years on I have had one filling replaced after a chipped tooth and a veneer replaced also after a chip - he says if all his patients had teeth like mine he would be out of business:rotfl: Makes me wonder why I pay into Denplan???:o...........between OH and I we have lots of gold crowns and I have veneers and porcelain crowns and I would not want to think about how much those are to replace now so worth the £18/month

It is the last day of my holiday, back to work on Mondje, and I am getting the house ready, clearing and cleaning. Lots of dds' crafts are now in the recycling bin, many toys are in the donation pile or the recycling. I first wanted to put their stuff ' in it's proper place', but Then realised they have not played with it for a long time, and not asked for it ether, so it's going!

Sil is coming on Sunday to babysit for the last two weeks of the summer break and she is a bit of a neat freak, so house need to be cleaner than we usually have it.

Haven't been Kondoing much the last couple of weeks, as we've had bad news about Dad's health, his cancer has spread further. He has an appointment tomorrow to discuss treatment options, but it will be palliative only.
I have every sympathy with you and your family as my dad has only just finished palliative chemotherapy and radiotherapy. He hasn't tolerated the radiotherapy in particular very well. Look after yourself and each other.
