Daily Listing Challenge and Group Promotion Thread - October 2024

All your dentist stories made me feel :grimacing: :nauseated_face:
Christopher @thehorrorcrafter - your story about the tooth extraction is quite similar to what happened to me and really started my fear of the anaesthetic. The dentist used to give the injection, then make you sit in the waiting room for it to take effect whilst they treated the next patient. That in itself, used to make me feel anxious but one day, the dentist gave the injection, sent me out. Then when he called me back in, I was so numbed up, I couldn’t even close one of my eyes to blink. He then did a tooth extraction where he also put his knee up against me to get some traction (although mine didn’t last 3 hours, I don’t know how you coped). After that, the numbness took about 6 hours to wear off, not sure if he gave me enough to numb a lion! - after that, I never wanted the anaesthetic again (although I have had it since but with much stress)

Georgina @GeorginaCrawfordArt now we are both at home we tend not to do takeaways in the traditional sense. That said our treat to ourselves is a slice each of the amazing lasagne made by our local deli which just needs heating in the oven for 30 mins (to make the edges crispy) and a salad made up. Much better than trying to make it myself. Hope this counts.

I’m pretty boring when it comes to take away Georgina @GeorginaCrawfordArt, I’m a tikka masala or rogan gosh kind of girl!

Alison @FluffStuffCrafts I’m pleased to say I’ve had 5 sales :grin:. This has pushed me over the 150 sales milestone so I’m extra chuffed!

Evening all, bit of a lie in this morning then lunch out with the family before picking son up some new winter boots, he has camp in a couple of weeks so was needing something sturdy and waterproof AND warm for that. Popped in passed my parent’s house and my brother was also visiting, he’s staying over tonight as he’s the after dinner speaker at his old golf club tonight, he’s going to be talking about his cancer diagnosis and treatment - kind of wish I was a member so I could go along and support.

I have managed to finish and photograph a couple of items so here’s a new listing;

evening all, sadly the kiln is kaput! :sob: it was stuck good and proper OH managed to prize it off but it took a chunk of the fire brick with it and you can’t buy a replacement as it’s a complete unit. No local repairers either as it’s a US based company. So guess what I’m having for an early Christmas Present :rofl:. I have taken a pic of what went into the kiln and what was left but it’s not coming through to my e-mail to share

He’s really nervous but I know he’ll do well, so many friends there and also he did so well with his groom’s speach at his wedding which was only 4 weeks after he was diagnosed.

@MaxPringJewellery oh no, RIP kiln, I can’t imagine that’s something easy to replace either :frowning:
