Owies at the Dentist!

Me and all three kids (yes I know LMS you are an adult now!!) were at the dentist's this morning. Little Prince went in first and confidently climbed into the chair and announced he had an owie tooth. The tooth is totally healthy, the problem is that as he bites it bangs into the tooth below it (probably his teeth are out of place due to his thumb sucking!). So all we can do is reassure him that his tooth is healthy and that it will probably get better when he gets his big teeth. While me and the dentist were discussing this Little Prince was trying to grab the dentist's instruments off the tray in front of him, and in trying to grab his hand and stop him I caught him with my nail on the side of his nose. He was VERY upset and cried, and there was blood. I feel an awful horrible Mummy, even though I know it was a complete accident and couldn't be helped, I still feel awful :-(

Me and the girls all got a clean bill of health too :-) We then dropped Drama Teen and then Little Prince back off at their respective schools. And while we were at Little Prince's school I had to explain his owie, and also look for his PE kit that he claimed was lost and find his school jumper, that again he claimed was nowhere to be found. Both were found on the floor of the class cloakroom!!
Me and LMS then took her car to the garage, where they were supposed to be swapping the battery over (they put one of their batteries in when they fixed it last and needed to give us our battery back) and fitting a new wing mirror that someone has kindly bent and broken!! Trouble was the assistant that I booked all this with hadn't told the other guy, who knew nothing about all of this!! He rang the first guy, who admitted he had forgotten to order the mirror!! The second man was very embarassed and ordered a new mirror there and then, it will be here later this afternoon, so I have to take the car back after picking Little Prince up from school to sort it out.
Meanwhile!!! Mr Messy has bought himself a new car (similar to the one above), that he is picking up on Saturday, he and LMS have been car sharing till now, but once her car is at University with her that won't be very practical lol. He does the nice/easy bit - test drives the car, choses which one he wants and orders it!! I have to do the hard bit - insure the darn thing!! It was quite complicated as I had to sort out a totally new policy for LMS (she can't be a named driver on her Dad's policy any more, it has to be her own policy) and change Mr Messy's from the old car to the new one!! After numerous phone calls and plenty of faffing around it is now all done!!!
