good evening all.sorry no card tonight cos have been super busy today making a start on my mega clearout of my house.little mans bedroom is now looking very organized and there is loads of tat that needs to go the tip and to recycling,charity shops etc.he has his new bed coming later this week.i have bought him  some shelves for all his dvds and games and storage boxes for his mammoth collection of cars,figures,lego and army men :D
just need to buy him a new wardrobe next payday now and also going to redecorate in the school hols in feb.
looks loads better though already.
thanks for all your concern over my tooth, luckily for me there is absolutely no feeling in the tooth(or should that be filling).the nerve died last year according to the dentist.i think the wisdom tooth behind it has pushed down that hard that it cracked my broken tooth.all it took was the matchmaker to finish it off.am due a checkup soon so will have it extracted then, boohooooo me not like the dentist.i`m petrified of needles, once thats done i`m ok :S
so seeming as i have no card to share i can go and catch up with my commenting instead.
have a fabulous evening.

good evening all.i hope you are all well.thanks to all who have commented on my last card :D
i forgot to tell you yesterday but i have had a half molar tooth for years which has been serving me well by having a pin inserted and filling attached, a sort of half a tooth, half filling.well some of you may know that i have a very,very sweet tooth....puddings,chocolate,fizzy sweets and nougat,yum.
well i was feeling in need of a little sugar fix yesterday so decided to crack open a box of mint matchmakers....oops big mistake.i felt it hit the half tooth, i felt it dig in and push out and yep i shattered what remained of the tooth and have now been left with a very strange shaped filling still holding on in there with the pin :( so i think it will be an extraction job,boohhooooo.i already have 2 false teeth on a plate which i never use.lol.
