The giving up/cutting down alcohol support thread! Part 4

fedupandskint

Hello everyone, another AF night for me to chalk up making it 14 days now Just getting ready for a hot choccie later on after I've washed up

Still deliberating how many to go for in Sept and I've just realised that it makes my ninth month of controlled reduced alcohol drinking and increased awareness of units :T

A big thanks to everyone on the thread for the high levels of support on here :A

I think the system is better now. I never have anything wrong with my teeth though so I just pay £16 twice a year for a check up and a scale and polish. My DH went recently and he had to have a lot of work so we were glad there is only one high fee now. My DH paid over £250 for far less work with the old system.

But if the amount of work was less it probably would have been the same fee.
1 Crown = £198
10 Crowns = £198
How is that fair to the population. Incidentally the Dentist receives the same amount of funding regardless. So they have a perverse incentive to get rid of people who actually need treatment, and keep folk who don't

Yes, I can see what you mean. I suppose when I said the new system was better, I meant it worked out better for the treatment me and my husband had!:D;) I will probably change my mind when something goes wrong with my teeth. It doesn't make much sense to have such a big leap in fees between the £40 odd one and the £198 one.

AF 2nd night...only a 5% twinge at 5-30 pm lasting 10 mins! Am pretty tired so will sleep well tonight.

My foot has improved (! )-2 x cats claw tablets every 2 hours, vitc+quertecin (big dose of c!) tablets every 2 hrs, celery seed tablets every 2 hours. Last Ibuprofen at 11am so herbals have improved it....only a bit aching now & much much better.

Car done...alternator (2nd hand/recon) fitted-total £88! If you see my previous threads you'll see what huge other prices I was quoted...(!)..this garage is great cos it's walking distance from home & has a scrapyard/breakers attached for parts...bargain city if money tight!

Think will go to bed 11ish....hope you are all doing ok!
