WFH today (and thereby saving 50 miles petrol) as I still have toothache
Dentist's appointment made for this afternoon. Confession time... I've not been to the dentist in nearly 10 years
and for the past 4 years I've been paying for Denplan...

I haven't worn my wedding ring for a few years.
Mainly because I've got quite sensitive hands and I find that rings give me eczema.
But it is a bit tight as well. I can put it on, but it's bloomin' difficult to get off.
I wonder whether it's possible to get it stretched?
Or next year it's our 35th wedding anniversary, so I suppose I could get a new one. But I'm used to not wearing a ring now, so I probably wouldn't wear the new one that much
Good luck at the dentistEarly retired - 18th December 2014

It does feel odd wearing my wedding ring again after so many years. I don't normally wear jewelry. Mr MWC says that he'll have to buy a replacement ring now because he doesn't want people to think he's having an affair :rotfl:
Toothache still ragingI can't concentrate on the report reviews I need to do... Still 1 hour before I see a dentist - at least I'm in so much pain I won't chicken out!

All that hygiene work you were entitled to, and you didn't have it! Oh no! I was with denplan for years before my income tanked, and the level of maintenance is really good - much better than where I am now ...2023: the year I get to buy a car0

I'm in pain and feeling very sorry for myself
New dentist was lovely but, despite x-rays and a good poke around, she says there is no obvious cause for my pain... if you squinted there was perhaps a possibility of an abscess...
12,500 steps - mainly pacing the house when the pain is too much to bear
Tried to cheer myself up by buying a Boden t-shirt for £6.70 (originally £29, 40% discount in mid-season sale + £10 free GV + 70p TCB + free P&P) and failed
