Dentist appointment today, which included a repair filling and a scale and polish. I used to be able to have hygiene work done without pain relief, but in recent years the nerve pain has been terrible, so now always have to have injections – this knocked me out for ages this evening. Still decorating the Christmas Tree – but it will be finished before I retire for the night.

I can't believe Ruby Wax was voted out, I thought she would be in the final – oh well its only a show at the end of the day, but she looked gutted to leave – love her sense of humour, she doesn't hold back!
Started decorating this evening – as a creative perfectionist, its taking far longer than I thought. This time last year the dining room was full of boxes and I didn't have the sideboards in the corridor, so much more to think about, but really enjoying it, now the house is finished. Just waiting for the dining room door to be fitted, which I hope can be done before Christmas 🤞

I have a confession to make, I've never been too bothered about watching Celebrity Get Me Out of Here, but the dynamics of this group are fascinating, really enjoying the show. I can't choose a winner, but my top people are Tom, Ruby, Aitch and Shona.
Had no energy to decorate the tree in the evenings this week so far, as crazy busy at work and too tired when I get home to do any decorating.

Funny how I mentioned Siberian Rubythroat yesterday! At least it wasn't a male, whilst I was hard at work, that would have been soul destroying! I have no idea what the weather has been doing, as Catherine and I were so busy, we hardly had time to speak, but I think it was raining on/off.
