Lets see, a number of new and exciting things have happened to me in the last few days.

Lets see if I can remember them all.

Dentistry first of all - a ridiculously early 8.25am appointment on Friday meant rushing across town just at the start of rush hour, via a petrol station as my car was dying, around the most irritating road system ever (the IDR). I had 4 (yes i did say four) fillings in my bottom right side, one for each molar. The biggest of course being the gaping cavity in my wisdom tooth (which is being removed in February sometime). It required two anaesthetic injections, and lots of noisy scary drilling and yanking on my teeth with hooks and things. I still dont like having dental treatment, but I feel much more comfortable about it now than I did because I have such a great dentist. My mouth was numb till lunchtime, and I was in lots of pain when it wore off. But its better now.

Also on Friday, we learned in work that a payrise is headed our way. Rest of dept have already got theirs, but me and Sophie dont get ours till our probationary period is over (in April). Roll on April! They're also planning many other changes to the dept which will make working there a lot more interesting. With the added bonus of more cash, I'm actually probably happy to stay for longer.

Today, Jamie got his hair cut. He's been moaning about his long hair for a while, cos quite frankly it was getting silly - he looked like a 35 year old Axl Rose wannabe pretending to be ten years younger than he was. All he needed was a bandana and a leather jacket to complete the look. Or maybe a sad looking old-style tattoo. So we wandered into town, and found a nice salon, and booked him in for 2pm, and now he has short hair and is all sexy again. It really suits him, and I think he looks great. Pics are uploaded to my yahoo album already.

Also today, just before we went to the hairdressers, we were wandering about town. Jamie decided he needed a fag to try and calm him down (he was very nervous about such a drastic haircut), so I went into the Body Shop while he did the evil deed. As I wandered out of the shop, Jamie's on the phone to (I assumed) his parents. As I walk up to him, he says (very jovially) down the phone "Do you want to have a word with Briony too, while you're here?" then hands me the phone! Very scary, as I've not spoken to his parents before, but we had a pleasant short chat and then obviously had to go because of the hair appointment. Very cunningly done on Jamie's part I have to say, as now I have spoken to them and they will now be more inclined to like me, yet I wasnt forced to talk to them for ages because we had to be somewhere for a certain time. And scary though it is, I'm not so bad at talking to strangers so it was ok.
