    Hi Maria good to see you back posting. I haven't been posting here too much but have been elsewhere and am still working hard to save up and pay off the cc.

    All in all for everything before xmas day I need £17.50 per day. I do keep saving on areas where I can but sadly the card does get used when we need it to be, so sometimes it's one step forward and two back. We'll get there.

    Do you remember my tooth saga? This was back in January when I got my abcess and the dentist referred me to the hospital for an extraction and root canal. He said he could do the root canal for me at the dentist but it would be better for me to have it both done at the same time at the hospital.
    I had my hospital appt today for the consultation. They don't do root canal! Only extractions so my effing tooth could have and should have been better 6 months ago rather than still causing me pain.
    I also don't need the wisdom tooth extracting that he referred me for!

    I do however need one extractin on the other side that the dentist decided tp fill instead a year ago. The tooth next to it keeps losing it's filling, but I saw why tonight on the xray results. It will never be a proper filling and will always break as there isn't enough room for it to sit properly.

    I have great faith in my dentist now! Have to ask him to root canal that tooth now to finally get rid of the abcess and NOT fill the tooth he was going to because it's cracked.

    Oh y_b what a shame about your tooth. Are you going to be brave enough to go back to that dentist? I think I'd have to find another. good luck.

    I'm not sure what I'll do about the dentist yet. I know I have to get that infection sorted and that has to be priority. (not that the dentist have called me back yet)

    I got DD1's shoes for the wedding today in the sale, so that's all our shoes sorted now :)

    Looking at the dress next. Think I know what I'm having, just going to chat to MIL about it.

    How annoying about the tooth thing, they don't half mess these things up sometimes. Hope it is all sorted for you soon.

    I'll hunt out a pic of the dress soon, still deciding.

    Will be phoning the dentist in the morning as they said they would be letting me know about tuesday's appt in plenty of time, but they haven't called me yet!

    On better news I ran the race for life today (in scorching heat) and finished in 33 mins 22 secs, and was v chuffed with myself.
