Wednesday 21st March - BBQ at the beach

Work went great again today! i had 3 people tell me i was a great dentist and my dental nurse said she enjoyed working with me and was impressed at how fast i got teeth out! i feel chuffed! Gaz meanwhile still hasn't had any luck on the computer...he says it isn't getting him down but i think it is :(

We still don't have the hobs working but gaz has rung the estate agents and they are getting an electrician round at some point to try and fix it...me thinks it may be a case of a new oven/hob which will take ages! If they don't get it fixed for a while then there will be hell to pay as I'm not paying 400 dollars for a house that doesn't even have a stove/oven! On the plus side, it is nice being round the corner from work and being able to pop home in my lunch break.

As the weather was nice and we can't cook in the house, gaz and i went across the road to have a steak burger on the free bbq that is by the beach. It was lovely and really great to see people out walking their dogs.

Back in the house and I've found another cockroach crawling around in a cupboard under the sink...must have come up through the pipes...gross. cockroach and spider killer man is coming on monday. Carpet cleaner coming friday. Electrician...to be decided. By the time its all sorted, it will be time for gaz and i to come home!

Day 3 in work 2morro....so excited! I am soooo shocked by how expensive dental treatment is out here....a comparison for you...in the uk, on the NHS, a checkup which may include a scale and polish and routine x rays will cost 12 pounds. In Australia, the same thing costs 150 pounds. And thats before any fillings are done! To take a tooth out is 140 pounds per tooth (more if its a back tooth) and thats before the consultation fee on top and any x rays...a half hour appointment to take a tooth out can total over 200 pounds. Back home its 30 quid and people still moan!!!
