    DH had a filling come out, he had an appointment for a check up. I rang the dentist and told them filling had come out, so they said oh you need an emergency appointment. I said OK, they said, we dont have one for another 6 weekd time????????????? I said thank you.:rotfl:
    My finances are work in progress.

    Is he in discomfort?
    For a lost filling they must be seen sooner than that!

    If the receptionist is stroppy ask to speak to a dentist or a dental nurse!!!!!

    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.

    I've been given £50 credit on my abel and cole account for spending £15 a week for the last 4 weeks :T I've been using them for veg, milk and cheese to qualify for the credit. I have until 22 Oct to use the credit so I'll hang on to it until I have a really lean spell.

    Thankyou Toto for originally flagging it up :D

    Some of the contraceptive pills are fine to keep taking without a break so you avoid the lady stuff!

    Oh okay, thanks....it sounded like BB was taking something that was more of a one off? But I haven't had to get involved with all this contraception malarky for a loooooong time, so it's all a mystery to me! :rotfl:

    The pill made me really fat (seriously, at my heaviest I was 3 stones more than I am now....NOT going back there again!), and I hate condoms with a passion, so I guess I will need to be brave and look at alternatives at some point. Assuming I ever have a man in my life again! :rolleyes:

    yep - you can do as Linda says.

    I've been given Norethistone (linky here) as I'm not on the pill and don't need it which apparently will stop it happening whilst I'm on holiday.

    I've also been given something or other acid which will make hopefully make it all a bit less problematical as it has been getting over the last 6 months or so. If it doesn't (apparently doesn't work for everyone) I will go back on the pill but I'll try this for a couple of months which will take me up to my holiday anyway.

    I've been reading up on it all and researching for months. I was going to try something herbal but bit the bullet and spoke to my GP.

    Probably because I'm 40 next year I guess......:rolleyes:

    You can also have Depo every 3 months like I do - they stop after the second or third injection apparently - although you cant have depo if you have high blood pressure or osteoarthritis in the family or are in the obese BMI range...
