Morning - eurgh toothache is the worst! I have to have it out, and need to have it under sedation but sedation clinic is a 15 week wait. I don't think I can wait that long! I might speak to my doctor about being given some valium so I can go and have it done under a local.... I was up at 4 and had no relief despite taking neurofen with codeine. Nightmare!
Really don't know how I will go to work tomorrow being in this much pain...
Given this I'm not expecting big things from myself today....
* fold & put away yesterday's washing - tut tut tut!
* TOMM Kitchen today - need to time it at the point of painkiller's maximum effect
* as I'll wipe down the fridge I'll make sure nothing is going to waste
* Finish skirt - don't know why I go off the boil when I'm almost finished on projects?!
* water greenhouse veg
* do a lesson
* all meals from stores
* might make a cake, we'll see....
* make madam's pack lunch for tomorrow - blinking 'eck this making lunches every night for the next few years is a massive drag. Might get her to make it herself tonight....
* might cast on a pair of socks....
* NSD
That's all

You have my absolute sympathies. Is it nerve pain or a small abscess? (sp?!) could the docs give you some antibiotics if so that might relive some of the pain?determined_new_ms said:Morning - eurgh toothache is the worst!

Morning all
Sorry to hear you have toothache DNMS, hope you can get something sorted soon
Not Posted this week (I don't think - I have lost track) as I haven't been feeling good and subsequently haven't done very much. Actually, thinking back I have:Restocked my sales unit (on Monday before I started feeling ill)Made a banana loaf to use up some brown bananas, and an apple and raspberry crumble to use up some not nice apples from the fruitbowl (they are nice once cooked with raspberries and a bit of sugar)And stripped the remaining leaves off my basil plants, as they were looking very sad, and made a batch of pestoDD came round yesterday with little GS. She is back to work tomorrow, and feels she won't be able to come round again for a while due to the covid risk (she is a college lecturer)
What with feeling rotten for what seems like most of the week, that made me feel a bit sad.Anyway, I got a reasonable amount of sleep last night, and I feel much better today. And my blood result came back as well as can be expected, so no deterioration in my medical condition, so I have just put it down to a bug / migraine or whatever.I have done a bit of gardening today
and have emptied a large pot and planted some gladioli, forget me nots and a miniature rose into the soil in the front garden, and replanted the pot with some violas I bought at the market at the weekend
Must go and water everything in shortly to give them the best chance.Also relocated what is either a box or a cotoneaster seedling (I think) from a pot to a space by the workshop wall in the back garden. No idea where it came from, I certainly didn't plant it!I have taken the strawberry baskets down, and am watering them thoroughly in preparation for their vine weevil nematode treatment.Ought to push the hoover round a bitDinner will be the rest of the chicken tarragon that OH helped me to make yesterday, with veg from the garden
Better get that watering done before lunch.2 -
Good Morning everyone
@determined_new_ms - you have my sympathies nerve/tooth pain is the absolute worse, I have damaged nerves in my left cheekbone and when that flares it's so dibillitating, hope you can get some relief
Dull and a little chilly but due to warm and brighten up
Checked Bank & made PAD
Posted letter at Post Office
Made Banana Cake (using up bananas too far gone)
Deal with apples fallen on garden
Later:
Hairdresser at home
Swagbucks
Purge a few emails
Enter a few comps
All meals from cupboards/fridge/freezer
Check: Lucky Bob, PMP, WinaDinner
Read or knit
Investigate kitchen storage that I can utilise from home or free - under kitchen sink is a nightmare so this may take a while but that will also give us the opportunity to use up various products and streamline as I really want to cut down on the amount of chemicals at home. Lots of great ideas on Pinterest so should be able to find a solution that will work for us.
Have a good day everyone.

Called about my f type today. Have been told there's the option to voluntarily terminate the agreement. Does anyone know if this will affect my credit rating?
Trying to get the card usage under control I deleted the cards bar one off my phone this morning and took them out my wallet. Still easily accessible at home but has made me think I'm doing something about the mindset.
@carrielovesfanta thanks. 🙂

Excellent steps there @alt80! I would suggest that if you still don't feel quite at the point where you can cancel/cut up the cards yet, that you put them in an ice cream tub of water and freeze them. It's something that has worked for a lot of people as they can still access them in an emergency but they have to defrost it first so if the emergency happens to be a rather lovely new gadget, they have time to stew over it first!alt80 said:Called about my f type today.

Can they be cancelled when there's still a balance outstanding without affecting your credit rating?
