My BIL told me that he was very happy with his new toothbrush (we have scintillating conversations of a Sunday teatime don't we?) which was a Philips Sonicare. I thought I'd ask for one for Christmas so the old man complied and I tried it out Christmas Day night. I'm not a gadget fan and I've not used an electric toothbrush before and I wasn't at all prepared for what was going on inside my mouth. It tickled and hurt at the same time, and that was on 'beginner level', so I veered between wanting to giggle and needing to cry. You know you're dealing with something serious when it needs a beginner level don't you? After 14 brushes it threatened to increase its speed and ferocity, but I'm happy to report that by then I was ready. So, if anyone wants a really good cleaning, I recommend the Philips Sonicare. Just go slowly.

I'm in a quandary. The Steve Reich boxed set of 10 cds has gone down from £63 to £50 on amazon. It has done this before and then shot up to £75 (it has been in my shopping basket for a very long time.) Should I? It's still a heck of a lot of money. I'll probably procrastinate as usual and it'll shoot back up again so that'll solve that one! :D

For feck's sake, next time the computer tells me it can't find the site I won't believe it and hit 'try again' 10 times, only to find each time the entry had gone through. How embarrassing! :oops:
