    2023: the year I get to buy a car
  • 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 :o and for the past 4 years I've been paying for Denplan... :o

  • Mr MWC has been looking at parking for tomorrow's rugger... £15 park & ride or £25 park & 1-mile walk :eek:

    I'll e-mail lovely MFW friend and ask if we can park & 2-mile walk from her house for free :money:

    I'm wearing my wedding ring for the first time in years as it fits again :j


    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 dentist

  • 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 raging :( I 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 ...

  • :( 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 :(
