    Hi Jen , have a look at the autotrader website, that price sounds a bit steep but depends on condition/mileage. Just to say check it out before you go!

    Ooh scary dentist stuff! You are brave :-/ urgh not sure I'd volunteer for pain they must bug you a lot.

    Hmm difficult one stacy.only thing I can think of is take the agency work and call in sick if the dentist offers you a day! Not very proffesional I know!

    I've been busy today, designed and ordered flyers , posters and a banner (for the wedding fair) . Brain hurts now! Just hope they look ok when they come!

    Hi anyone about.

    I have been glued to dooyoo last few days, really hoping to get another £50 cheque by beginning of June time but am at £9 so just plugging away.

    None of you seem to be writing though for me to rate :rotfl:

    Stacy I would do what MM says on the job front.

    Thanks everyone, the other dilemma is that the warehouse i am working at has had 2 permanent positions come up so i am going to go for that anyway as its a secure job then until i figure out what i want to do eg back to the trains, dentist thing ect ect ect i swear im just confused about my career now lol Jen i would definately recommend the teeth straightening i have only got about 7-9 weeks left with my braces, mine cost £3500 thats for private for some reason i wasnt allowed nhs but then with private you can have the clear braces so theyre not that noticeable or you could even ask about invisalign which is just a retainer so absolutely no one will know your having treatment. :D Anywhoo night x

    I can highly recommend braces too as Stacys brace buddy. I am 9 months in and hopefully halfway though now, mine have cost £2500 so far, shouldn't be anymore though I hope!

    Your so lucky getting yours off soon Stacy! How long they been on?

    for me to have clear would be under 3K. i would need them on for about 18 months. I am really considering it would be cheaper not to have clear and get train tracks but i don't think i could cope with that!
    Mine would also be a private treatment as it is for cosmetic reasons only. I am not sure how good they would look after because i had a consultation and she said i would still have to accept then sticking out a fraction and with a lot of open bite so not sure if it would be worth it. I would also have to have 2 teeth out which i am nit sure i could go through after the last one i had out!
    The price would be £1,898 for train tracks or £2879 for invisable if i pay in a lump sum i get 10% discount not sure if they have any other offers. also my consulation and prices are from 2006 so not sure whether they are more of less now!

    Afternoon,

    I have two veneers as my two front teeth, as my friend and i smashed heads when dancing in a night club, her teeth smashed my front teeth! Lol, but i couldnt be happier as before they were big and goofy, now there the perfect size. :)

    How bad are the NHS ones? Are they still like ugly betty's?
