Oh no
Is it the same as before or a 'bruised' feeling that could be the after effects?A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effortMortgage Balance = £0

Oh no - the toothache has returned! :eek:

Oh my word, that's a phenomenal achievement! A huge well done to the MWC household! :T :beer: :Ta penny picker upper. MFW approx 78% to go | FIRE 3 years worth (30% savings rate: now aiming for 40%!) | Normality is a paved road; it's comfortable to walk, but no flowers grow on it | Whatever you're meant to do, do it now. The conditions are always impossible | The only thing you absolutely have to know, is the location of the library0

After you go to the dentist, I think it gets worse before it gets better, as the mouth needs to settle down.
Hopefully it'll improve as the week goes on
£95000 in three years? That is awesome!Early retired - 18th December 2014
