My Simple Top Tip this Tuesday is one rather close to home. It's all about planning ahead... Or rather... Do not agree to do a reading at the local Primary School's Christmas Carol Service the day you are also visiting the dentist. Because the Dentist may have to give you extra anaesthetic (which will take many hours to wear off) just 4 hours prior to ...
