Had a lovely visit to see Santa with the kids today, well not the real Santa of course, but one of his trusted employees. My 4-year-old son Ronan, refused to tell him what he wanted for Christmas. Naturally, I stepped in to help & say that what he really wanted more than anything, was for Manchester United not to be so sh**e. Fingers crossed Santa can deliver something on that one, for Ronan’s sake.
Our daughters, thankfully, are asking for pink skateboards, which should be easier for Santa to sort out than last years flat-pack nightmare. I’m actually hoping to finally catch a glimpse of the real Santa this year, the last few years there’s been sightings of him in our garden but I’ve been out at Asda every time. Terrible luck & timing, really.
Hopefully, on the practice front, we have more luck with our timing for the new building works to be finished – I think I might be giving the builder a few sleepless nights about that. It’s looking great so far though and all going well, 1st March should be our grand re-opening. 🤞🏼The upgrade includes 2 new surgeries, an in-house lab (meaning less turnaround time for dentures & crowns), a spacious waiting area, a shiny new reception & a swanky office for our treatment co-ordinator/assistant manager, Bili. Oh.. and 5 new car parking spaces courtesy of our friends at Farmfoods who are kindly letting our staff park there! To be fair, I’ve probably bought enough chicken nuggets for my lunches in there this year to earn the favour. Can’t wait to share our extension with all our patients when it’s done. 😊

We’ve got our staff xmas night out coming up next weekend too, a bit of karaoke to look forward to amongst other shenanigans. I might have the worst voice on the planet, and Raashi comes in at a very close second worst, so it should be a laugh, at our expense at least.
After that, Christmas will be upon is before we know it – is it just me or where does the time go?! I’ve been meaning to write a blog once a month but there’s always something on at the weekends and I can’t seem to find the time. The world also seems to be going absolutely mad at the minute and I find myself stressing at the news in my spare time as I’m sure some of you do too. I do think it’s important we talk about it though, we all know what’s going on in Gaza is not right and needs to end – I hope our politicians can finally do something meaningful to make it so.
After our xmas night out I’m planning on remaining completely horizontal as much as I possibly can next Sunday. So, let me take this opportunity to wish all our patients a Merry Christmas & a fantastic time with your friends and families. I can’t wait to welcome you to our new-look practice in 2025.
Maybe Raashi and I will bash out the karaoke in the waiting room for the grand re-opening ceremony🤗.
Take care all,
Joe
