    Love orange smarties but not today.

    Went to dentist yesterday, had X-rays she couldn't see anything untoward , she did a check up as was due anyway. Went on my merry way to work.

    Should have been babysitting but that got cancelled . Went to Trafford Centre to pick my bracelet up that had gone for rethreading , they have given me a new one instead !

    Roll on till 12.30am this morning, most excruciating toothache , painkillers just make it bearable , going to just turn up at dentist at opening time and sit and wait. I hope they can sort it out today .

    I am good at pain , but this is horrible.

    During the night , I have realised that I don't need a Fitbit it is a want , so am not bothering. Also all the extra spending last week and over Easter has had me delving in my EF . I know this is better than being on a credit card but I need to slow down on spends again.

    Off to get dressed and try and clean my teeth .

    Sounds like a sensible decision on the Fitbit, the challenges are not synchronising my steps and the fixes don't work so I am a bit anti currently.

    Hope the dentists can squeeze you in. I always think teeth problems is the worse pain.

    Got seen at the dentist but was there forever , long story . Anyway I have been numbed, drilled etc. It may be that the problem is teeth grinding at night , causing sensitive teeth. Have got some good toothpaste to help. Just hoping for a good sleep tonight.

    I am on soft food for the next couple of days. Am so glad I have seen sense again on the spending front , it feels better .

    Sorry to hear you've had a rough time with your teeth - hopefully the toothpaste will start sorting you out. :(

    You had a good result on the new bracelet though!:j

    Glad you're feeling positive on the spending front as well.

    I hope the dentist trip will sort the pain Cumbria.

    If you don't have to have a Fitbit then it's a good idea to save the money, as you say it's a want rather than a need. Raiding the EF is always a worry so you'll feel better if you don't have to :).

    Hope the teeth problems have settled down. Tooth pain is the worst! Take care.

    Quick check in, tooth was awful yesterday, today has been fine. Hoping that it is getting better. Toothache is horrible.

    Overslept yesterday morning, due to no sleep the night before , had to buy breakfast and lunch at work. Toast 75p soup 80p.

    DGD and I had a NSD today so not so bad.

    Early night , need to be leaving for Lakes for craft day at 7.30. Really looking forward to seeing my crafting friends.

    Will catch up on diaries over the weekend.

    Have a relaxing weekend.
