    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 effort
    :) Mortgage Balance = £0 :)

  • Similar to the pain at the beginning of last week, not as bad as the pain on Friday _pale_

    Plan for today:

    - sleep
    - monitor work e-mail
    - potter in garden
    - apples!
    Mortgage at highest (April 2008): ~£195,000

    Further advance = £79,832
    Total = £168,492

    October 2015
    Original mortgage = £71,994

    Oh no - the toothache has returned! :eek:

    Commiserations from another long term dental holdout (nearly 4 years now, afraid to go back in case my acid erosion is now past fixing)!

    Your life always sounds very glam MWC - sporting events, transatlantic travel, posh restaurants. If not for the being married to a man bit, I could totally dig being you :rotfl:

    Toothache :cry:


    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!
