In work tomorrow as usual. Can't wait. No point leaving early as the employer will claw it back. There is no seasonal cheer there. No Chrimbo night out. Nothing. At least I know I won't be there next Chrimbo!

One more night shift for me.
Then I just gotta hope my tooth infection stays calm for a few days. Otherwise I may need to visit A&E as I doubt anything else will be open.

Phone your regular dentist. Their answerphone message should have emergency instructions.

Already have, theres no emergency dental options available 24-26th or 27th. Or what there is will be so over booked there will be little chance of getting an appointment.
I phoned 111 at 23.40 on Saturday and I was 15th in the queue. A few hours later I tried again and was 5th in line. I imagine it will only be worse for the next few days.

A small cooking crisis has emerged in the Ayres household.
Liz makes her own stuffing at Christmas, which I very much appreciate as I cannot eat the Paxo stuff as it does bad things on the way down. We were going to deviate from the usual plan of "pine nuts in the stuffing" and use chestnuts. Unfortunately the chestnuts we bought went mouldy and you can't find Pine Nuts. So Cashews were elected substitute..... but the bag of Cashews went AWOL.

In other news the Police gave me an update on the anti-social behaviour in my block. They've removed one of the drug dealer cars and are tracing the second suspicious car and have taken someone into custody as well as continuing patrols. Been a few weeks since I had any hassle. Previously, aggressive drug users/dealers were on the stairs every day. It's nice to be able to enter/leave my home without shitting myself. The first 4 months were an absolute nightmare.

I hope you look smugly at your neighbour after he said nothing could be done... Or has he mysteriously moved out??

Just watching the end of Die Hard 2 (on the telly, proper Christmas film), whilst making sure kids are asleep before putting presents out. Mrs Shocks dozed off beside me... Omega Supreme looking on... a full glass of wine... Gosh I love Christmas.

He sulked for a few minutes after I told him off for standing on the neighbor's house, but now he's ok, enjoying the finale.
