Two and a half miles this morning. Tummy getting flatter with twenty minutes exercise each day. Two more pounds lost. Am I boring you yet?

Day off today, so going to have a little retail therapy :0) after I've done my accounts :0(

Good morning!

Just wait till the next time somebody ask me for a sick note because they've had a wisdom tooth out. To think I've been falling for that excuse for all these years!

Have fun in Cheltenham, Hippo. If having fun in snooty, po-faced old Cheltenham is allowed, that is.

Well done, Sassie. Keep up the good work.

Let's have three cheers for the hairy ones. Personally, I find men with waxed chests a big turn-off. Hairless bodybuilders look as if they're made of rubber - gives me the creeps.

If I were feeling combative, I'd say that men who prefer women without body hair are repressed paedophiles. But I'm not, so I won't.

Morning all - back in the land of the connected. Hope everyone's well and big hugs to anyone who needs them.

Down the gym at 6.30 last 2 mornings 3.5 & 4km on the treadmill - seems so much further than running outside.

Barkles - take care on the residential trip, don't forget your super-hero costume in case of emergencies

Have fun, Barkles. I'm sure the kids will feel SO privileged to have the head teacher turn up in person. We did when I was a nipper, possibly because it was the only time we saw the head teacher without being in Very Serious Trouble and about to get the belt.

Vrap the little bu**ers get to see a lot of me, I make a point of going into every classroom every day... visible is good.. even do some teaching these days.. about half a day a week, got to keep my hand in...

Don't want to be some mysterious figure in the office..

My kids' head teachers seem to be very involved too. I think it's great.

v I had to get a doctors note for a week off when i had my wisdom teeth out. I had 2 done under local and then 2 weeks later had the other 2 out. I was working for a call center at the time. My jaw disloactaed both times and a nurse had to hold it in place as teh dentist pulled away at my teeth, in fact one tooth had to be cut into 4 to come out. I couldn't open my mouth more than a few milimeters for a week and then next week it was hard to talk to. so after 4 week of this i had lost almost a stone, but yes it went straight back on and more!

I lived of cup-a-soup for those 4 weeks. it put and end to my feeding oliver too! (well he was 10 mths by then!)

Enjoy the walk tomorrow folks, and the social tonight.

I'm off to mums tonight so i can get a run in tonight and tomorrow morning !

I had fun with my eye teeth. When the milk teeth didn't budge, the adult ones came thru the roof of my mouth... which was nice!

Oooooh! Poor old Pixie!

I must admit, I've seen a few very people who were barely able to walk due to the jarring pain in their faces after dental work, and who had so many stitches that it looked as if they were trying to swallow a mouthful of drowned spiders. Mine's very minor in comparison.

I've just opened a letter from an ambulance-chasing firm and they seem to want me to complete a form detailing exactly which bus one of my patients was on when she fell in the aisle and bruised her ego. Essential information includes precise date and time of alleged event, registration number of bus, number of seats, name of driver and his PSV licence details. Hmmm. That's going back untouched in the reply-paid envelope. Just wait till they send for the notes, in which I think I really did record something unhelpful like "bruised ego".

One of my kids is growing permanent teeth before the deciduous teeth have come out, Jon. Fortunately, the permanent teeth have come forward on their own when I've eventually been able to part her from the baby teeth.

Kevin has been told she'll need a brace in about a year. Poor little mite! I think I'll request one that clamps her jaws shut.

Braces are good. I had braces for 2 years, but I'm grateful for it now.
