My mouth just hurts so much, I must have had this abscess for six months now, it bursts, then fills back up and then bursts again. Sometimes it'll just ooze for a few days just to make me think it might just get better. I know...

Sandra Johnson I've tried it, but it doesn't even touch the pain. Luckily (or maybe not) I take strong painkillers for a joint condition, can't imagine how much it would hurt otherwise, especially just before it bursts.

Sandra Johnson Unfortunately I've already had several courses of antibiotics and while they make it better for a while the infection never completely clears up.

One of the alarming things that I noticed whilst taking my wife to college last week was the price that the canteen were charging for a cuppa coffee. The canteen had been taken over by Costa Coffee - no doubt this is the colleges...

Sandra Johnson @destry I've just started doing the same, my first 2 brews have gone down really well and at less than 25p a pint, it's making serious savings.

Sandra Johnson @destry yep. tbh I don't very often go in coffee shops, only when I need somewhere quiet and warm to nurse. As for the price of a pint, blimey, even in a cheap chain pub £2.50 a pint would be considered a special offer. The joys of living close-ish to London...

Good morning World, it's Sunday,, a day that is traditionally a day of rest. It doesn't seem that long ago that Sunday meant a day off work, with the shops shut for the day. Sunday used to be a day to spend with your family. Not...

Sandra Johnson It does annoy me that he's the only one who works there with young children and yet seems to be the only one that gets so many Sundays. A girl that works there claims she can't do Sundays because she lives a couple of miles away and the buses only start...

Sandra Johnson See if he wanted to work the Sundays then it wouldn't be so bad, but he would much rather work during the week and spend the weekend with the boys especially as public transport is a bit hit and miss on a Sunday with there only being a bus every 2 hours which...

We didn't have many toys when I was a child in England in the 1940s. World War 2 was on for half of that decade, and things were scarce, as they were for years afterwards.. A lot of our toys were home made, and we mostly...

Sandra Johnson @jaboUK lol I meant eye. The sad thing is our children really aren't in any more danger than we were, if anything there is less violence towards children. But due to social media, the web and rolling news our perception of danger has risen. Even those of us...

There are certain people in our lives that know how to 'push our buttons'. Some will do it just to pick on you, while others will do it to get a rise out of you. My little sister is well known for trying to push my buttons when...

Sandra Johnson @boiboing Oh I know, if you blank them, ignore the sarcastic comments and carry on rating as you see fit they really don't like it. Funnily enough many of the drama queens (and kings) have come and gone and I'm still there, chugging away

I bottled two wines yesterday, putting most of them away for Christmas, but I did put a dinky bottle of each in the fridge. Just one large or two small glasses in each bottle, perfect for just me. So which shall I indulge...

Sandra Johnson Ah you see I don't do red wine and am not in the least bit sazzy about what should drink with what or when. I actually ended up deciding that I should probably finish off the rather fresh and fruity raspberry and blueberry wine I had open in the fridge.

Sandra Johnson @boiboing I'm probably going to the one that drinks it and I'm a lightweight lol, probably only have one glass at a time. Saying that I'm strangely reminded of a session downing snakebites way back when I was 18, there was some rather fetching pink results to...
