flakey-lady.... you lookin' at me punk?



so ash do have an oo arr accent then...my daughter spent 3 yrs in fishponds [the place not a pondsmiley - biggrin] and she would find herself lapsing into the bristolian....

no flash replacement as yet.... i didn't expect them to as they are all so totally useless...[management that is]

hey the tooth saga continues...well the pain never fully went away.. i was being hopeful..just thought they were sore due to having work done... but had the worst toothache yet last night...toddled back to dentist and finally we identufy the culprit as my wisdom tooth...

it was sending pains along the gum so i thought problem was more on side gnashers and not the back blighter...there is no infection so we are seeing if it will settle with lots of sensdyne being applied.. but might need to come out.......... see i wasn't imagining it..smiley - wah

probably got another night of pain aheadsmiley - wah i need to getsmiley - cheers

It depends Flakey, if you talk to me on the phone apparently I'm very posh... If not then I'm just tad rough...However I know of no other person that has used the word eructation recently, do you?
Hope the tooth improves.

from 4pm of tommorow....that tooth will be no more...having it out...also got to go to work at 5.30, but dentist doesn't think it will be a problem... heres hoping..gulp.

haven't packed anything yet but have planned most of my outfits, not that i am a very dressy person anyway... i've been concentrating on the fact that it will be very cold..or so i'm told, however the weather has been unseasonably mild over there last fewweeks.....layers of clothing perhaps being the best bet...

don't expect to be on a xmas shop as such, looking out for something nice for my young daughter and grand daughter...sadly the xmas lights won't be on...the cost rose quite a lot for the xmas period...and we are budget girlssmiley - biggrin

ash theres nothing wrong with a bit of rough...i am quite partial to a bit myselfsmiley - blush being quite posh [ish] from birth...its been all downhill since then...ha ha

flakey-lady.... you lookin' at me punk?



full to the brim of novacaine.. she gave me 2 injections and it didn't hurt... but i was alarmed by the sheer forces going on inside my mouth...digging twisting aaarrgghh.. i found it all very barbaric.. but thank god for pain relief, imagine in the old days?

i've actually been a little weepy about it, sort of a horrible ordeal, i hope its all over now... 2 fillings and one extraction later...phew.

probably go to the pics again see howls moving castle...so nothing too exciting to report.

hope your clover brings some nice luck for you thornysmiley - ok

its getting a bit worrying about the new changes coming into force next april regarding dentistry...i remember when eye tests were free, and university courses were free...blame labour for that....

it is getting back to the bad old days.. the haves and the have nots...saying that we all have so much really in comparison to poorer countries...

i love the pictures.. its a perfect night out for me.. and a meal... not too hard to please.smiley - biggrin

thanks for the popcorn wilda but can't eat much of the stuff.. i always choke on the shell bits...cue me coughing and gagging loudly in packed cinema....giant buttons are a fav treat, melt in the mouthsmiley - smiley

flakey-lady.... you lookin' at me punk?



i've had that dream too... where theres water falling thru the ceiling.. then the one about all my teeth falling out...you lot must think i am teeth fixatedsmiley - biggrin

another recurring nightmare is moving back to a house that holds a lot of sadness for me although i only lived there a year.... i get this dream quite regularly... i suppose i moved around a lot with my ex... but i've been in this house now for over 20 yrs and i'm well settled and happy here...so the thought of going backwards in time gives me these anxious dreams/nightmares...

anyway is the shower all plumbed in now?? there is another use for a shower head i've heard about...smiley - winkeye might relax you chuck?

sleep well

Has anyone noticed the weather?
It's mid-October and we still haven't had a frost....
When I was in my teens I used to go fishing this time of year and we had to break the ice on the lakes...
Yesterday I was out in just a tee shirt (and trousers of course), I still felt warm...

Wasn't Malcolm X assassinated?
Strange how many Americans with a reasonable point end up that way, in Britain they tend to end up hung by their private lives or their dreams may be shattered on the shoals of bureaucracy, I can't recall that many British politicians who were shot (Ok, a few were blown up but really that was a bit indiscriminate and just made them martyrs..And got dear old Mags elected once more....).
Winston Churchills dad died of the pox if that's any help smiley - biggrin

On the weather once more...It's October... Temperatures down here are still in the 20's...Seriously half the trees are still green...
It should be a world littered with dead leaves frosted with ice...
Puddles you can step on to make them crack... Frozen ruts in the road you can jump on...
Breath turning to mist in the air...
A drop forming on your nose....
Red faces and red hands that hurt like anything when you run them under the tap to warm them up....
Your Mum warning you, you'll get chillblains if you do that sort of thing....
I could have gone out sunbathing today.
