You know I wrote something about making my own website? Well I gone and done it now. It was quite hilarious and frustrating, as I merrily broke things left right & center by forgetting to close my curly brackets and such.
Here it is: kate-murray.com
You can see I imported all my JamTart history into it (even your comments, bless!). Going forward, over there is where all the action will be. And lil JamTart, which has been so good to me, shall now languish un-updated.
You can still follow me on Blogger, by putting my blog feed into your Reading List. Or you can subscribe with another RSS reader, if you prefer...
And I shall continue to check my Blogger Reading List to see what you all are up to :)
See you on the other side!

On teeth
1 comments
Last week, I went to the dentist. I got an NHS checkup (totaling ~5 minutes - the dude basically counts that I still have teeth, does some xrays, then waves me merrily out the door) and a private "hygiene treatment" which is polite dental speak for scraping, poking, twanging and grinding mouth torture.
Anyway. Everybody hates the dentist so I don't need to continue on about how horrible it is. The visit is worthy of mentioning, however, because for the very first time that I can remember in my entire life, the dentist did not tell me I needed further work.
That's awesome.
I also really liked the hygienist -- despite the torture she inflicted on me -- because she talked about where I am not getting to properly with my brushing and recommended a good toothpaste and what else I could be doing to take care of my teeth and so on. All the added-value stuff you expect your dentist to do, only he doesn't because he's paid by the NHS, and that's why you pay extra money to get a private service like a hygiene treatment...
I am a firm believer in looking after your teeth. After all, you only get the two sets and the first set doesn't count! I also haaaate the dentist, just like you. So I haven't been as good about going as often as I should. I do, however, take really good care of my teeth at home every day. I even floss. Okay, not every day (the hygienist told me off for that) but on average, 4 times a week.
Better than not flossing, I reckon.
