    Have you phoned them up to ask?
    a supernumerary tooth is basically an extra tooth, they are usually around the front or premolar region.

    The cheek chewing thing is awful because it's a vicious circle, when you bite it it swells up and then you keep catching it all the time

    Yep I have one on each side between the second molar and wisdom teeth - one is tiny but the other is bigger and is at a funny angle (hence the cheek biting) - neither hurt in themselves though...

    Morning all :)

    I'm happy, as moving day is ever nearer... but NOT HAPPY as just realised by reading our meters that British Gas have VASTLY under-estimated our bills for the past 2 years, and we owe them a rather lovely £900 for gas and electricity... I know it's always best to read your meters, but as we live in a flat and the meter is in a cupboard under stairs with spiders (and dark) i've not done it since we moved in. They'd estimated on our previous usage - didn't realise how much electricity the damn halogen lights were using :( Last thing I need really. xx

    Will they accept a referral from your GP?

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    EEK bobbadog! Not good.
    I always send meter readings for our bills/statements (we pay by direct debit)
    If they estimate I enter my reading online and they send a revised statement.

    Hi Linda - I pay by DD too... as the bills always come online and said in credit I just hadn't thought twice about how much I was actually using (we're all energy saving lamps! Halogen ceiling bulbs though, damn flat)... lesson learnt though :( x

    Pooky :eek: re your OH, hope he recovers ok.

    I think whiplash is unfortunately one of those injuries that gets worse before it gets better iyswim.

    Hope you have strong painkillers to hand, if not I'd get some for him.
