Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 13

More of a safety prep weekend for me, fitted fire alarms in the children's bedrooms (already have nest ones in hallways). Very important between a 4 year old been curious with a lighter they've found, or a 15 year old with ruddy hair straighteners left powered on left on the bed by whilst they raid...

Re: Ouch!

I see my NHS dentist every 6 months as recommended, I brush my teeth twice a day and floss as I cant get to grips with those interdnental brush things.
