Well with kids as young as yours I'm guessin you ain't an oul one? I wanted 2 of my kids to do quantity surveying as they left school - Joey was a bit keen but with the building game fucked here he decided it wasn't for him. Now he's just working as an unqualified feckin electrician --- calls it his 'gap year' but..............

I feel feckin old (I'm 41 lol) !!!

You're right - constructions shite over here too !! None of my kids want to do QS'ing - and tbh I wouldn't encourage em !! The QS is THE most hated person on a site !!! Still - it pays the bills lol :H:H

My eldest wants to du plumbing - he's not very academic - more a "hands on" kinda kid - must take after his dad !! (Oh God, I hope not.............)

Times a dragging this morning......................can't wait to get me kitties later - kids were manic this morning !!!! Hubby not quite so much...........(he cleans the poop up)

I hope everyone is feeling better soon. :huggy:'s to all of you.

mollyka;1387766 wrote: Hey Stirls!!! good to see you!! Woz it a diamond tiara or a yoke stuck in your mouth:H:H Nope just a crown. Thought it was a good price. Don't know about prices there. My sister in Canada told me the last estimate she had was $1000 for the root canal and another $1000 for the crown. A lot of fecking money for one tooth.

So you're feeling better today - good to hear it

Gawd you've been a busy little girl haven't you!!? I'm doing nothing - more episodes of Downton --- but I really think I will busy myself a wee bit. Ugg boot out of freezer - so it's a wait and see time for that. Might start with brekkie first. How are the wedding plans going Stirls?

Getting there. The kids are trying to find out who are coming to the reception so that they can get the seating arranged. I haven't been too involved with the preparations since the bride and her mother have taken care of most of them - after consultation with the groom of course. I live too far away to be driving back and forth and I really didn't mind leaving it all up to them, lazy cow that I am.:H I've had my hands full the past few days getting our spare room spruced up a bit for my sister and getting a couple of closets and drawers cleaned out so she has somewhere to put her clothes and such. I can't believe that she'll be here in just three days. inkele:

I got a package - one mega filling (more like a rebuild of a tooth) toothwhitening, a sort of an implant and a crown for 1000 euros - so I reckon that was ok - specially since Jilly paid 3-400 for her tooth whitening 2 years ago!! I'm getting mine done Monday. I am absolutely DREADING weddings and stuff --- my reclusivity will be seriously challenged. Funny - my mother would have died if any of us had 'lived over the brush' --- I wish mine'd all just move in together forever and leave it at that! Anyway well done all the scrubbin and stuff - at least you'll have a lovely clean gaff after your sister's visit
You got a really good deal for the work on your teeth. I have to look at more work next year. Too many expenses ATM with the wedding and my sister's visit. But it's money well spent so I'm not complaining.

Yes, my house will be nice and shiny and I've sent my persian carpets to be cleaned so that is another job done and dusted. I don't expect I'll get much housecleaning done while she's here. More like a spit and a promise now and then. We'll be talking our gobs off day and night.:H
How very bloody healthy:H Achully - I went into LIDL the other day - tis just round the corner from the docs and DIDN'T have a tantrum - what a result!!! I got a most beeeooootiful granola sort of thing - just had a huge bowl of it with giant sultanas and greek yoghurt --- seriously tasty!!
Must away now and get showered - just MAY venture a few shops afore the doc. - he'll prolly tell me I'm dying or summat - so may as well get a shopping spree in:H

I love granola but don't eat it anymore because of the nuts - I try to stay away from hard foods. I miss it tho'. LIDL used to have the most delicious choccie muesli. It was to die for....

See you later Molls - hope you find something that you like in the shops. Let us know how the doc visit goes. :finger:'s crossed. Well, you know what I mean....
