Drawing a line under the debt. Take two.

Bah! to losing work.  Hope the uni is one she wants to go to and the hospital app goes ok.  Only popped over to Mull so not seen very much of it.  DD2 is doing some lambing in Islay in March.

Well done on the walk. 

Sorry about the lost pay. Hope you manage to sort the getting her to uni. Could she go on the train and stay over?

This would be a possibility, but we would end up paying and would probably come to as much as me losing the hours. Also she wants to go around the town again and she likes talking it all out. I want to see her reaction to it as we are going back to the countryside one in a couple of weeks to see them both close together for a final decision. Still no contact from the London one. We are all holding out hope she doesn't get an interview atm! Much as it would be a huge confidence boost.....

Car has been fixed. Had a hire car this week. Did not like it. Was like a tank after my nippy little one. Anyway hopefully this is the end of it.

Have a niggly tooth and swollen gum. Has happened before, it's above the tooth that is root filled and crowned. Sometimes something gets stuck and irritates it and sends it into a hissy fit for a couple of days. Last time I got the dentist to call me and by the time he did (after a weekend) it was all fine again. So if it is still niggly on Monday will get in touch. The only thing left to do is pull the bloody thing out, but it may actually be two as the one behind it is pretty bad too. It's been causing issues for years. 

We have bought a table from fb, it's a huge one, hubby wanted one when we moved but the only one we found that would work in the style he liked was £1800 😱🤣 so we passed. Anyway my sister sent me a link to this one it was £50!!!!! Handmade too. We went to collect it, but unfortunately the top didn't split into two which we all thought it did. So we got the base and the seller is hopefully bringing the top tomorrow in his van. We will pay a bit more as he really didn't have too, it is 25min drive away. But it was such a massive bargain we decided wth we would give it a go. Will fill the dining room. I may lost a pic once we have it. Going to have to get it up the stairs. That will probably be quite amusing 🤣

Otherwise we are just moving along as normal. Have a family meal on Sunday, that is going to cost! But have some set aside so should be good.

Sounds like you got a lovely bargain on the table. 

Hope the tooth settles. 

Sympathise on DD costs. Needs must and all that.

Table top was delivered so it is now in situ. It is so solid, and I don't think it will be moved again! However it was nice sitting down for tea and all having enough elbow room, and nothing banging against our legs. It fits the space well, much better than we thought it would.

Tooth is still niggly. It looks like I have a gum abscess, I was hoping it would turn into an ulcer but doesn't appear to be going that way. I will call the dentist on Monday and see if they will look at it in case it needs draining. Dealing with the underlying issue can wait, pretty sure I will lose the remains of the crowned tooth at some point though. 

Had a productive day. Put up some shelves in the airing cupboard, using wood from the broken bed and the dismantled wardrobes. Then I organised putting a while load of stuff from the remaining wardrobes into the loft and rearranging the big built in wardrobes (we had so many wardrobes it was ridiculous!) Only one more to come down now. Tip appointment is booked for next weekend, once they are all out our room will be huge! Then I can get on and decorate. 

Priced up what the meal will cost (already chosen from the menu) it's over £100 😱 this is why we don't eat out! And that's not including any drinks. I have the funds and it will be nice to see the wider family, but it is still so much money. Better enjoy it I suppose 😂

Hope the tooth settles down.

I didn’t realise unis were doing face to face interviews this year. My DD has had a couple of interviews but they have all been virtual, which has the disadvantage of her not being able to see the campus but has saved us the cost of several journeys.

Enjoy your meal out!

We bought a great big table and I love it but if we play games, I have to kneel on my chair to reach! 

Hope you get that tooth sorted.

This uni is. Her previous interview was online. We actually did three proper open days, so she has seen the campus of those which I feel is pretty important. Atm the one that is her top choice is the one down in the West country. We are going back to the town to have another look at the area, her request as she is seeing the one on Thursday again.

Still no news from the London one.

Gum has ramped up its soreness so definitely calling the dentist tomorrow as soon as they open. My dentist is pretty good at fitting you in, I know what the underlying problem is, so I just need it looked at to see if it needs draining or antibiotics. Can deal with the actual issue at a later date. 

Meal out was lovely and nice to see wider family who we haven't seen for a couple of years.

Good news about the table. Glad the meal out went well. Hope you get tooth sorted tomorrow.
