    Thanks everyone :). I'm up to £205 in winnings so far with £125 left to play. I was predicting I'd get about half which it looks like will be the case. I need to send them ID before I can withdraw any more though so will be a few days I guess before I can play again (not that I've actually sent it tonight, and don't have any plans to at the moment). Well done on your win mm, tombola did send methe £5 code after all today but I didn't win anything, though I think I've won enough for now :o. I've decided to stick the winnings my house deposit to make me feel better about how tiny it is lol. I should have £500ish on Friday which feels nice :).

    :mad:My poor poor darling daughter (aged 7!) has an absess (sorry about my spelling) so following advice i took her to the dentist. i was told by a few people to take her to the dentist and they would prescribe her some antibiotices. Sounded like a good idea this afternoon i took her to the dentist.

    The dentist however gave me 2 options

    1) extract the tooth (it is a baby tooth) this would involve an injection to numb the area then have the tooth remove! At this point dd brust into tears and was pretty scared and uincontrollable!:eek:

    2) the dentist could drill down into the tooth (sorry everyone with dentist phobias) and allow the absess to drain! The dentist said it wouldn't hurt and the tooth was dead! :eek:

    Well we reluctantly went for option 2! if left it would have got worse and the absess would have spread and swollen:eek:

    DD screamed and had tears rolling her face the whole time. It DID HURT! i had to hold her hand and felt sick watching her in so much discomfort._pale_

    Why her? She brushes her teeth twice a day never drinks coke or fizzy drinks. She doesn't eat much cholocate or sweets. it is so unfair and i am so upset! :sad:

    Your poor poor daughter and you as well! Hope you are both OK. That was awful of the dentist and has probably scared her for life which is not good at all.

    Oh Jen that's awful. I hope she wont be too put off from the dentist in the future. Did it work and is she out of pain with that tooth now?
