Got home early friday afternoon as I had to go to the dentists. Never a pleasant experience but managed to get an order for a baron fountain pen out of it so not too bad.

make sure you charge through the nose for it......
Now if only you could emulate a little discomfit , just before they hand the money over........... Assuming its your dentist that's bought it. :whistling:

Not sure why i think that.. :nooidea:........ My dentist is a gorgeous Red Head... Never caused me an ounce of pain....:bwink:

I know if I charged per hour what she charges I'd never get a sale. Still if she uses it at work I reckon there could be an opening here for further work.

landrover has been confiscated so 'SWMBO' can get to work in the snow.........

Where as the owner/keeper of the landrover is going shooting, with 2 dogs, in a feckin' BWM, right past SWMBO's work, and another 15 mile up a feckin' hill
where's the logic in that...........?????:vangry:

oh yeah.........


female logic...........:bwink:
