I ended up carrying a too heavy bag again. Really bad for my back. It as if I never learn! I've worked out it is my habit to pick up food and drink whilst out. This wouldn't happen if I was settled, as I used to order deliveries for big shops and used my bike basket for bits and bobs shopping. I must do better or I will end up undoing the progress I have made with my back...
So....the tooth is no more
All went smoothly. It wasn't nice but it wasn't dreadful either. As @jwil @redofromstart and @Seasidegal58 experienced: it was speedy, straightforward, and a relief to have it gone. I'm not sure if pain will arrive when the numbness wears off and whether to take pain killers in advance...? I need to bathe my mouth in warm salt water 3Xs a day
Now the back and leg pain, MRI and tooth extraction are over, my thoughts turn back to housing. Tomorrow I phone the EA and negotiations on the house begin again. The plan is to get the EA onside so they see it is everyone's best interest to settle somewhere sensible for all.
Off to see if any new houses have come on to the market.
Hope everyone has had a decent dayIf you have built castles in the air, your work should not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them

I'm glad it went ok. It wasn't mind numbing awful but it did sting a bit. Manageable with parrots for a day or two. Not all consuming like an abscess.My mortgage free diary: +++ Divide by Cucumber Error. Please reinstall universe and reboot+++

I can't remember having any pain after my Wisdom tooth extraction although I had stocked up with painkillers owing to all the doomsayers predicting I'd need them! Had a big hole in the back of the jaw though for a while but it closed up nicely!😂
Hope you find a nice house!

Glad the extraction went well. I think my jaw ached for a few days, but it wasn't too bad.
Good luck with the negotiations with the EA. Positive vibes heading your way."Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do". Eoin McGee2 -

It was ok, entirely manageable.
Thank you. I didn't need painkillers either.

So, pain is back. My own fault for carrying heavy stuff. Must do better...
(Short) Walk and exercise completed.
I had not budgeted for the dentist. I paid for it out of my everyday money, so I need to make sure I can see the month out without dipping in to savings.
I went to get a veg box, but not lucky this time. I bought courgettes, blackberries, tomatoes, cucumber, and that cost £11. It won't last as long as the veg box and costs ten times as much. My plan is to use popping in daily as my morning walk.
I'm feeling a bit sorry for myself, as I thought I had said goodbye to the pain. Also feeling lazy. Soooo....going to read a bit, cook a bit, and potter.
I hope everyone has a good dayIf you have built castles in the air, your work should not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them

Glad the extraction went well, you may not see much even if you look.
Hope you're able to find a budget way to the classes or figure out the cost of the LC + travel and see if there's anything closer for the same or less than the combined cost. Unfortunately, most advertise on SM.
The EA will be well versed with those types of sellers, it's just a battle of the wills and hoping the seller sees sense sooner rather than later.
Rest up and have some virtual gifts 🌺 🌹 🌺
