    Thanks Nicki.

    I went to the denstist today and he filled a different tooth! I'm confused lol. The tooth with the infection doesn't need any work at the moment, the infection isn't gone but is better than it was and the dentist confirmed it looked better but he'll monitor it next week when I go back for the last filling.
    As it's a wisdom tooth if I have it out I'll have to be referred to hospital and it will be a big job so am hoping to save it.

    On nicer news lol I have decided today to apply for a 0% credit card and pay the deposit for the wedding, as once it's booked that will be it. Tesco are doing a 12 month 0% on purchases so I think I'll go for that.

    Tonight is a well earned glass of wine, Phil location down under and BB final.

    Enjoy your glass of wine and TV tonight.

    I think the credit card is a good idea if you know you will trust yourself to pay it off. At least then you can get it all booked which will be something to look forward to.

    Hiya
    Glad to see it wasn't an abscess on your tooth and hope you get all back to normal soon yb. Tescos is a good cc to go for with the 12 months zero percent and of course you also get clubcard points for spending on it which is always good to get!

    Oh dear, does that mean you will have to have root canal treatment then? I had an abscess a few years ago and had to have that, mind you I would have done anything to get rid of it!

    Nope, he said he'll monitor it as it has got better, but he said an infection is the same as an absess and I didn't think it was but he is the dentist not me.
    If it comes out I have to be reffered to the hospital as it's a wisdom tooth so I guess I just have to see how it is next week.
    I'm not in pain anymore with it unless I press on the lump in my cheek, I can bite ets now on it which a week ago I wouldn't have been able to do, so am hopeful.

    The Tesco credit card is a good idea 12 months 0% is fab! When i joined i only got 4 months, but that was years ago now.

    Hope, you dont have to have the wisdom tooth out, i know how painful they can be!

    Gah new month, new week and same old rubbish.

    I look like a chipmunk now, my tooth is defintely NOT getting better. I'm going to end up paying for my dentist to retire rich at this rate!

    Still no news about the car so unsure of how much we have to pay or what is wrong with it.

    Have a couple of bids on ebay and sold a game on Amazon so a few pennies to add when they arrive.
