I finally went to the dentist - boo and hiss! I decided that I cannot act like a baby in the dentist chair and made a big effort to try and relax and not get silly about the whole thing, easier said than done but it worked a little and I seemed to cope so much better than I normally do. I finally, after cancelling twice, had my root canal filling, Oh my gosh.......I was in the chair for a whole 3/4 hour - a very long time to have your mouth open. And a lot of money to hand over for the privilege. I came home and later on I started having tooth ache in another tooth on the other side of my mouth!!!!!!!!! I'm not sure if the dentist has just aggravated my teeth by messing around in my mouth or if this is something new but it looks like I have to go back on Monday.
The pain pleasure theory has been in force this weekend! We watched the fireworks from Raz's garden on Friday night. Andi, Tanya and the children were there and Mum came along as well. Lots of friends came and filled Raz's house. It was really lovely to catch up with everyone. We had hot chocolate with 'all the works' to warm us up afterwards as it was quite cold and wintery. The children had a fantastic time and I managed to get them out the door and home before they started to get all tired and silly! Poor Ben had to work a night shift so missed it all!
Emily went Plymouth Shopping with Granny Rosa yesterday morning. She bought her Christmas present, a wonderful pair of long black boots from Jones's (they look a little like riding boots). Such a lucky girl, but she has to wait as Granny took them back with her!!!!!!
Today Samuel has gone to Saltash to play rugby with Ben, Emily has gone to the cinema with Andi and tribe and Tamsyn is still at Granny Rosa's house where she decided to stay last night. They are having a great time.
However we have also had some very bad news this weekend about two of the most special people in our extended family. One of our friends suffered a t.i.a. (a mini stroke!) and our other friend had been diagnosed with breast cancer and is going into hospital next week for her operation and treatment! We are all so upset and can't stop thinking about them both. I can't quite believe it. It brings you all back down to earth with a bump. Dad will have to have a word with the big man to make sure they are alright and keep them safe!
Whilst I have no children for a hour or two my job is to clean the house and put some washing on before we get over run again. I'm also going to clear the courtyard and make it look all pretty again. How come the children have so much fun and I get all the good jobs?
