lilmissmup - the 2011 saga - staying debt free whilst starting a new life!

KM I should have done it all properly first time round!

I might not be able to get braces again depends on getting my other teeth issues fixed anyway! They are hurting a bit again as well.

I am constantly saving money though so should be able to afford it!

Managed a NSD yesterday and will do so today as well.

I need another 110 swagbucks to get my next £5 amazon voucher so aim to get that by end of today.

I have also applied for the NR savings account at 3.16% so will transfer all my savings into that next week, its 0.26% more than I am earning now! :rotfl:

I have also finally posted my tesco complaint letter off! Hoping to get some decent compensation, £10 voucher minimum but tbh am hoping for more so I can buy some unsquashed gifts too!

Maybe you should but its done now and no point beating yourself up. Do you have an electric toothbrush that can help reverse gums problems and also have you tried Corsydol?

Maybe ask for advice to try and save the teeth on the health board?

I am using corsodyl and an electric toothbrush but as I have lost bone under the gum its unlikely I can save the teeth as there is no support. .

Well survived first 2 days at work, going ok, lots of new systems to learn though and loads to learn about Volvos!

College tonight was good, held a tarantula! Loads of work to do as normal!

I am still feeling stressed about my teeth, embarrased mainly, 27 and might loose 2 teeth, thing is to look at my teeth they are fine, no-one would know by looking at them I might lose them! Am really paranoid Simon is going to leave me if I have to get fake ones . He keeps telling me not to be stupid and I wouldn't leave him if he were me but still .

If anyone is interested in joining newvistasurveys I got an email today asking me to invite people so pm me your email and I will refer you, they pay @ £50 and send cheques out and are good.

Just checking in to say I am alive and skint!

Saw the private dentist on Saturday, cost me £95 :eek: for a full head xray and examination.

I have lost bone around my teeth but there is some there.

Hes still not sure I can save them but it seems the brace I had has pulled them out of their jaw arch hence why I have lost the bone *along with tongue piercing/not being the perfect dental patient*. .

I have to go see the hygienist next week for a hours clean :eek::eek::eek: and he is going speak to a periodontist and their orthodontist to work out if we can try saving my own teeth. .

He was nice though and didn't make me feel like a idiot like the last guy.

Saturday night I went to old works christmas party....big mistake....I think I got my drink spiked :mad:. I only had a few drinks but can't remember loads of it, kept blacking out, managed to stumble to my local pub and ring Simon who came and got me. Luckily the barmen who worked there knows me and rang him for me.

Was very very sick in my car, I was going hysterical as well so Simon took me to a&e, waited there for a bit but then I came home and slept. Woke up at 8am and was sick again until 12pm!

I still feel rough today too, will not be touching alcohol for a long time now!

Still alive and even skinter!

Have £10 in the bank to last 4 days!

Got my hair cut yesterday, cost me £58 after £14 of vouchers and loyalty points. I spent my xmas money from my nan on it.

Friday I had to buy a tyre for my car @ £65.

I am seeing the periodontist tomorrow at a lovely £90 to go on my credit card..... dentist said he had spoken to him and its not looking good for my teeth, will know more tomorrow though.

I am also off to London tomorrow to see Russell Howard at the o2, am going to have to get Simon to pay for my train fare *although I have paid £30 for his ticket*.

Today I have added my debt total together again....:o and withdrawn my savings to put into my new savings account.

I need to get round to ringing Tesco to see when my 0% credit card deal runs out, think its beginning of Feb so will need to try get another 0% card then.

I still need to do more christmas shopping too......:o

Going to be nearly £3k in debt by end of year I think....

lilmissmup

Well 2 days of work until Christmas, 4 days off then 3 1/2 days in then 2 1/2 days off, I do miss my old job where I got 10 days off!

Saw the Periodontist Monday, I might not lose those 2 teeth for a few years but I have to spend another £550 on getting my gums all cleaned up and then see what happens :eek::eek::eek: He said I am prob prone to gum issues as I am very young for it to happen....:o

Seeing him again on 3rd Feb and Hygienist on 12th Jan.

Russell Howard was good, unfortunately sat behind us was a very drunk man and his wife who both complained how $hite it was for the whole first half and then they had an argument in the interval and then luckily left 5mins into the second half. :cool:.

Savings hit my account today so have decided to pay £800 off one credit card and put the other £3k in savings, kept £26 to put petrol in my car tomorrow incase I don't get paid Friday.

I finally got a reply to my tesco complaint, appalling bad letter with a £10 voucher, brought my nan the Kings Speech DVD for Christmas with it.

Hellooooo dawn

Good to see you still have a diary!

Im going to try really really hard to visit diaries again in 2012.

I cant believe how much you paid just for an examination at the dentist! My two front teeth are crowns having fake teeth arent as bad as you think you soon forget and if you get a good dentist who match up the colour well people wont tell espically like you say they wouldnt be noticeable when you smiled anyway.

Ive complained to tesco before and they just sent back a snotty letter, there customer service is !!!!! so your lucky you got a voucher

lilmissmup

Its a private dentist this time Maria as the NHS one made me cry and I don't think they will be very helpful due to constraints not wanting to spend any money out of there budgets, would rather pay and get good treatment!

Nice to hear someone of my age has them too though!

New 2012 diary now!
