The Retirement Thread

[Dirk]

MrsD has got a big butt.

A full 11 ltrs bigger than our old one, which will make a significant improvement on the old one - particularly on shower nights.
Ordered from ALDI online 2 days ago and delivered this afternoon.
£10 cheaper than I could get one anywhere else.

Latest instalment.
Not a moan. Some people don't like the phrase but "it is what it is".
I eventually got through to the BUPA dentist. They are not even offering extractions. All they offer is telephone consultation and prescriptions for pain killers.
Mine is offering extraction but only for those in severe pain and TBH I cannot claim that I meet that criteria. Its a constant ache which is sharp if I accidentally push the hanging crown against the gum (or remains of the tooth..........not sure which it is).
I have found I can eat mashed banana, soup and I am just now enjoying sucking on a bag of quavers. Life is good............or at least better than the alternative

Are you able to eat using the other side of your mouth only?

Sounds daft, but it is doable with a bit of care.

Snap. here as well.

It is here now

Although I'm here, not there.

Sadly not. Its not possible to close the teeth on the right side without pushing the cap which is on the left and that's when it hurts......that's because its hanging loose. If it decides to come away completely I think things will improve. TBH I can't understand how it is still hanging there as it should be glued to the remains of the tooth, not my gum.

Scorchio here

Scorchio here

It has been really, very cold here most of the day. Had to put the central heating on this morning and been wearing a jacket**. Warming up now though as the sun has come out.
Driving along in the cold and rain this morning, wearing my jacket as the car hadn't warmed up...........and a guy cycles past (in the rain remember) wearing shorts and a woollen fleece

 

[Drago]

Been chilly here too. Heating has remained firmly off, but I've put on a cardie.

And the weather?

 

[screenman]

I have had a lazy day, yoga this morning then watched Bad Education (film) this afternoon, feeling a tad guilty now as it is certainly not my normal style.

 

[welsh dragon]

I have been pottering and making stuff, well sort of . I have had plenty of and a couple of biscuits as well

 

[numbnuts]

I cleaned my hovel flat, just glad I don't live in a 10 bedroom mansion

Merely out of interest how does that improve shower night?

And while we're at it what the hell is it?
