Thumb, don't worry about having your tooth out. I had four wisdom teeth out early in tea room history and it was a huge anticlimax. I was terrified, yet it didn't hurt either during or afterwards. Or rather, either the top or bottom ones didn't hurt AT ALL afterwards and the others (either the bottom or the top ones - sorry I can't remember) were more uncomfortable than painful. None of them hurt during the operation. Part of the trick seemed to be to have a meal and take ibruprofen before the extraction and then, theoretically, keep going eith ibruprofen and paracetemol together afterwards. Actually I only needed to do that for one. The discomfort was mostly at night, when lying down makes it worse. Sleep with a couple of extra pillows to start with. Each was completely better within a week and no infections. It is lovely not having cluttered, crowded, crooked wisdom teethe, just nice smooth spaces to clean.
Sorry, everyone who doesn't have teeth removal issues, for boring you.
Wriggle not sick last night and stayed in bed until 5.45 am! Just the one arguement about staying in bed in the middle of the night and no coughing.
Rather relectant about spa idea, but I suppose things have to move on. Trouble is, I have never been to a spa, and I have a very strong image of the tea room, with the distressed leather sofa, MadBad's bookshelf, curtains washed by me during an earlier sicky phase, aspidistras, overgrown gardens, stables, Mellors' shed, potager, duck pond, haha, Wriggle's favourite trampoline ... there are primroses under the washing line and you can hear the sea where Tea goes riding on Earl Grey sometimes ... I could cope with the yurt as I live in the West Country, which is a yurty sort of place, but I suppose it is now the turn of someone else, and spas do appear to be popular.
Mistle, bad luck the whole family being car sick. I suffer horribly myself, but luckily Wriggle seems to have escaped. I find that homeopathic tabaccum is helpful, as is petroleum for buses. Last week I test drove my dream car (a Renault Kangoo - I know, horribly uncool ) and had to decide against it because I felt sick driving it. In fact I have the day off today because the whole school is going to Bournemouth on two coaches and my Head has said I can work on Monday instead. The most effective thing I have ever found is an accupuncture point. You look at your wrist, where there are two/three lines across, and line up three fingers of the other hand along the middle line. That measures the distance down from your wrist. Then, just below the position of that bottom finger, you feel between the two long tendony/vessely things running down the inside if your arm and press in the middle. So easy to show and so hard to explain! Try it; it really works. It is the same principal as sea bands, but much more effective and doesn't cut off the circulation to your hands.
Good morning, Amber. I know you are usually the only one in the tea room this early.
Note to MadBad, who does not appear tp be an early MNer, not doubt due to no longer having early-rising toddler.
"Dear MadBad,
I recognised you in Sherborne Garden Centre. I know for certain it was you, even though MadBaby wasn't there. Obviously she was at school. Strangely enough, you didn't recognise me.
Next time, do drop in - RacingPig would be very happy to show you his hutch and his travelling bucket.
Love Racing"
