    Well done on weight loss sylvia and good luck for tonight. Love the radio and have already enabled the blue tooth on it so can connect other devices and play through it. Sympathise with dental bill My crown replacement was £180 and that was after paying £270 for the original. ff think they see some of us coming. I have my crown on a front tooth and I had a small white filling put in it twice and they wouldn't stay either. Hence the crown.

    Gosh fire**fly, £300 is expensive! I paid a fortune last year for root canal which I didn't want to have to do! I was at the dentist the other day. Thankfully checkup ok, just cost me £19.40 for five min check!

    Sylvia, I'm sure you are fine as you are :) DD's physiotherapist mentioned the other day about when we turn 40 we get extra muscle and it's harder to lose weight so that's my excuse anyway! :D

    Well done on your win indie :j It's nice to see some wins in here this month.

    Glad the radio is ok for you and something you can keep for yourself Rose :)

    The lights are romantic Sheils, although I didn't think they were as good last year as they have been other years. I love that train though that you posted on FB :) I got lots of pics of that too.

    Sick of getting sales and spam calls on my home phone lately. I was thinking of doing away with it and just using mobile. At least I can see who's calling on mobile and I rarely use house phone.
    Think I need to dig my thermals out, it's extra cold tonight!
    Big thanks to all who contribute to the forums. Be lucky everyone and be safe!

    Was actually going to give it to sis for christmas untill I saw it and said to myself nope it's mine all mine. lol. So only have ds dil and gk's and ds to get now everyone else is done. I seem to have more and more to buy for each time christmas comes around. I go to ds now and he invites mil dil gp's db sil and their kiddywinks dil's aunt and her to teenagers. So would feel terrible if I didn't at least have something for them. All friends and neighbours who I am close to are all don as well.

    agree with you rose re think some dentists see us coming!
    haven't had any pain/discomfort since last filling fell out
    so told dentist i'd think about it & be back in
    touch when/if needed,

    check up price is roughly the same here wingo,
    lot of money for a 5 min job!

    ff At 57 I only now have 2 fillings in my mouth had 3 before crown. So teeth are ok for now lol. Son at 33 has none. But the cost is appaling even on NHS. Mine were done NHS but because I was working was billed less NHS alowance. I was not earning big money but any savings I had just went out the door to have them done. But I know two peeps who have front rows of their teeth built up and either had crowns or implants free gratis. Really gets on my goat when lazy so and sos who sit back and expect the NHS to do it for nothing. The NHS is there for everyone especially those who are really sick but if you cannot be bothered to brush your teeth then I would say tough. Sorry for the rant peeps.

    Feeling quite chilly here even with heating on. Still hopefully rain has gone as I want to get washing hung out and have a walk later. Didn't get any excercise yesterday but think legs needed a rest anyway!

    Great your DD is getting a bursary wingo. Mine is getting one now for her nursing course which is great. She didn't get anything while at school as our income was just over as we only had her left in education. If we had had two she would have got it. Most of her friends were getting £30 a week so she was really annoyed as she had to work for her money. We always seemed to be just over for getting anything!

    Lovely only to have 2 fillings rose. I am 55 and have a mouth full of them but all from my childhood. We pay privately for the dentist which I grudge I must admit but although we can get NHS dentists now (couldn't for long time) they are all young foreign ones who never sound very good. Our dentist also looks after DD's teeth free which is a bonus although she has only 1 filling which was caused by braces she had to wear when she was 12.

    Hope SW went well Sylvia. Have struggled with my weight all my life and due to sort it out again! Kept it off for 7 years last time but so difficult to lose it when we get older.

    Wishing everyone a lucky day.

    No foreign dentists here shiels. Mine is actually female white and a scot now although her dad comes in now and again.(retired he used to be my dentist) Nothing wrong with private as long as you can afford it which is why NHS is here. I can afford certain payments but look after yourself first. Sounds a bit sellfish but really you have to be a bit me me nowadays. Just take your kids for checkups and get their teeth checked. It is not just tooth health but their general health.

    Also have to say shiels sons mouth was said to be crowded he had a four back teeth removed and now has a straight white smile in stead of teeth that were all over the place. His wisdom teeth caused the others to crowd they are now gone. He like me does not have a big mouth lol.
