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

    (If you meant that I could be your Mum, then I'm going to nag :D )

    If you give up on the 18th of the month then you've not tried hard enough.:rotfl:

    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 £2.50

    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....

    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:)

    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?:confused:

    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!
