Managed to get booked into the dentists for tomorrow morning. At the moment ibuprofen seem to be keeping the worst of the pain at bay so hopefully that will stay the same until something gets sorted.
It's lucky that we had an under spend as that now means I won't need to raid the premium bonds account for enough to pay the car repair bill.

That’s a great underspend. Shame there’s a fair bit to pay out but at least you have the savings there and can build them back up again.Hope you can get the tooth sorted tomorrow, toothache is awful.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)1

Hope the tooth gets sorted.
We tried to get somewhere near Cheaddar Gorge on our way home from Cornwall earlier this year but it was fully booked. We will try again next year.

Not a no spends day today. I'm at the dentists this morning.
Breakfast, lunch and dinner are from stores though. Breakfast was toasted fruit loaf, we have both taken our packed lunches to work and dinner tonight is garlic chicken with rice and stir fried veggies. Some of the pak choi and chard from the garden is about ready to stick in the stir fry as well.
Tonight's jobs are:- walking the dog
- cleaning the bathrooms
- vacuuming the house

We booked the CAMC site at Cheddar quite a long time in advance to make sure we got on there when we wanted. It was fully booked over the bank holiday weekend.milann said:Hope the tooth gets sorted.

The dog loves going out in the van. He loves exploring new places but likes to have his own familiar space on the van at the same time at the end of the day.0 -
Been to the dentist and the problem turned out to be a cracked wisdom tooth. So they unexpectedly decided to pull it out there and then!
Now sat at work with half a numb face

The feeling is coming back now, which doesn't feel like a good thing at the minute. Feels like I have been kicked around the face!!
Hopefully it will settle down in the next day or so.0 -
