Excellent news on the interview and 😂😂😂😂 to the new head of department being you! That’s the kind of thing I’d do … 😉😊

Sympathies about the teeth. I have similar genetics and it gets pretty depressing. Mr KK hasn’t been to a dentist for 40+ years and doesn’t have any issues at all!! 🙄 G1t! 😂😂
I understand that it also relates to how much saliva you produce - people who naturally produce more have better teeth as it naturally washes away the bacteria, that was reinforced by an osteo-archaeologist talking on a ‘meet the ancestors’ type programme who mentioned this fact too.

Fantastic news on the interview, cheery. Best of luck with it, you got this!! x

A dentist once told me that if you have a fever whilst very young it can damage your second teeth.  Not sure how true that is though as I used to get some interestingly weird chat up lines back then.

Eeek. 
Such is life!

Fantastic news on the interview though

Congratulations on the interview Cheery.  Just a quick one on teeth as i’ve just had an abscess and have today been given my ‘options’  The dentist has said I could do nothing but the infection would eventually happen again so for me that’s not an option as the abscess is not something I want to repeat.  He doesn’t do implants (so wasn’t doing a up-selling job) but said he could give me the name of a local private dentist and it would be around £3k for the single tooth (back molar) hence me deciding to go for option 3 - extraction (hopefully in January) Hope you can get the best, least painful solution (financially and toothily) - dentists are a bit of a rare breed it seems.

Thank you all xxx

Well, my day started grim but got better 😂 Interview news is good, of course, and the gig this evening was utterly charming, far better than I was expecting, very atmospheric and festive 😊😊 

Drive home was tiresome, very foggy, and I went a different way to Mr Cheery and encountered a massive flood, including a poor guy whose van had conked out 4 hours ago 😱 I didn't offer to help, to my great embarrassment - but there were two massive trucks there with lots of orange flashing lights, so I think in my head they were rescuing him, but in reality I think they were the water board 🙈 There were several guys there with the trucks though, so he wasn't on his own, and I'd just come round a fairly tight corner, and was concerned to go either forward or back before someone else came round it too!

They did assure me I'd be fine going through it if I kept left, and plenty of other people had done so... but I chose not to risk it - it was easy enough to turn round and take a different route. It would probably have been fine, but my car is small and old and doesn't need any encouragement to break down quite frankly! 

Both home safe, and I even made the effort to take the recycling up to the top of the drive 😁

Anyway, the weekend is getting increasingly busy! 

Friday - opticians, Mr Cheery has a gig in the evening and we're staying over with friends
Saturday - breakfast with friends, and I need to arrange to meet another friend in the afternoon
Sunday - arranged to meet a friend, but when I got home I realised I already have last weekends rescheduled pub lunch, so I'll need to rearrange the second friend to Saturday 🙈 Then band practice in eve.

So a list for tomorrow! 

* rearrange friend
* workout
* cafe breakfast to start plotting interview preparation strategies - I might have over 7 weeks to prepare, but I will be doing a LOT of preparation! 
* meal plan
* eye test at 11.30
* supermarket 
* flute practice
* washing
* hang washing up
* pack stuff for overnight stay
* will need to leave about 4.30

I don't think I'm going to be any more ambitious than that 😂
