Having the money available is not the point.
The point is to live within your £400.

After the peal last night, one of the ringers who is visiting from London, asked me if I could give him a lift back to Blackburn where he is staying with another ringer who wasn't ringing last night.
Keeping up?
I was the only person going remotely near BB so I couldn't say no could I? That meant that the fumes I was driving on, weren't enough!
Peal Fee: £3
Diesel:£15 - should see me to the end of the week.
He did buy me a drink in the pub, thereby saving me £2.50NIL ILLEGITIMUS CARBORUNDUM!Nov Grocery Challenge: £0.00 / £150.00

I don't believe it!
Just lost a filling AND cracked a tooth on a piece of peach stone. It feels expensive AND i have a loathing of dentistry that stretches back to childhood. The mere thought sends me nauseous.
What am I going to do - alas and alack, lawks a mercy and all that!

dearest Strumpet, you'll have to get it sorted out or it'll be very painful one way or another. It's definitely not stylish to have a poultice attached to your face....Total debt at October 2008: £67,213.30
Total debt today: £0 - debt and mortgage free 29th November 2013 :T

Agree you have to bite the bullet on that one (:o oops - sorry - bad pun!).
I avoided dentists successfully for 10 years after a particularly nasty root canal and ended up having to have a stack of stuff done last year.... toothache is horrid - get it sorted! (and next time just chew the peach stuff off the stone - stones not for eating... :rolleyes::D:rotfl:)0 -
Strumpet sorry to hear about your tooth but you really ought to go to the dentist - I know you hate them I do to but still go and I have had loads of work done on my teeth (I have nice teeth now):D
Look, I know you are moneysaving and all that but did you really have to chew on the peach stone to get the last little bits off? 0 -
How's your tooth feeling today? Any idea how much it'll cost?

No pain at all, which is bad because that means I'll keep putting it off.
The bad thing is that I actually have to FIND a dentist before I can go!
Still, there's one down the road so I'll have to gird up my loins and go and get it done.
I know you all speak sense - thanks for your support.
Strumpet + Dentist = Trauma!
on a separate issue, the £400 challenge is officially dead. Not pleased but I did try! Next month is going to be even harder as lodger moves out next week. But OH owes me £200 so that will help.
Not feeling particularly ebullient today!
