When I finally got to bed I couldn't sleep at all. Since Mr Earplugs is away I've got that 'I'm home alone so there must be a monster under the bed' thing happening! It wasn't helped by the fact that we got a leaflet from the local police saying that there were a number of burglars operating in the area. Great - not just the one burglar then? Then Nipper got up, screaming fit to wake the dead. By the time I'd settled him it was 2:30am. On top of all that I was woken at 5:30am by Mr Earplugs alarm clock. If he'd been in the bed next to me I'd have wrung his neck. I'm going to need a lot of tea today I think!
Any road, (as we say up north) last week I had a 'bad trip' here:
And was told I needed one of these:
Sadly mine won't be all sparkly and jewel encrusted! For the princely sum of nearly £200 I can have one on the NHS but the dentist openly admitted I'll likely look like this:
Well, not quite, but he did say that I'd get a better one, and have more time allocated for the work, if I had it done privately. So that'll be £400 thanks very much! Blimey, I think I need a lie-down!Anyway, the lovely Mel Mel has given me an award and I'm chuffed to bits!
I've also been tagged by Sarah but as I did a similar meme a short while ago I won't make you suffer any more 'random' facts about me. So, now I need to choose people (supposedly seven) for the tag and the award........hmmm.........so difficult. I don't have a huge bloglist and I like all of them for different reasons. Some people have already had this award and done a similar meme. So bearing this in mind the award goes to:The Diary of a Domestic Competent
Kitty's Bloggy Bits
Remote Treechanger
Notes From My Days
Acorn Collective

UK Lass in US
and the tag goes to:
Raining Sheep
Scrub Oak

Thanks for being so very kind!
If i didn't have Olly i'd be very sad indeed!

If I were you I wouldn't worry about the burglars. The sound of screaming children in the middle of the night would keep them away!!
ReplyDeleteI've never had a filling (I'm 45, so I know I'm really lucky) but I'm feeling a weird niggling pain every now and then in my left jaw....
You and I might be sporting the same smile soon.
love the way you write. I am like you with the monsters under the bed, when dh is away,

Hi, Tilly!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for two awards!!! I am completely flattered.
Mary:)
Oooh, thank you Tilly! I'm really pleased you awarded me, and will blog it soon.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about the dental woes - bloomin' teeth, nothing but trouble from beiginning to end!
Hope you've managed to get some decent sleep by now. My youngest had a nightmare last night, so I was wide awake and discussing football at 3am last night! :-O

Thanks for the tag, Tilly, will get to it after the frenetic weekend I have in store!!! Loved the way you told the tale of the dentist. I too am a worry merchant when hubby away for the night - but when he's back I wish he was away cos his snoring keeps me awake!!
ReplyDeletesee what you mean about a similar post! Doesn't it seem a lot of money for not very much at all?!!
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about the dental work - you'd think it would be jewel encrusted for #400... (sorry, this bloomin' American keyboard doesn't have a pound sign).
ReplyDeleteAh, how to make me feel guilty - giving me an award like that when I haven't been near a computer in weeks, let alone visiting my blogs. Thank you.
