@Brambling
I'm going to catch up and say nothing. as in STS. disappointed but not surprised due to having a few days away and lots of lovely food. I was up a bit but have retreated back to where I was at the beginning of the year. Must try harder. And eat less.
@otb666
it may not help but then again it may.....sage tea. Just take some ordinary dried sage - about a teaspoon full - and brew it up in a small mug or regular tea cup. Let it cool somewhat (or all the way to room temperature) and then rinse your mouth with it. It's a natural antiseptic. it works to sooth sore throats so depending on way the actual infection is with your tooth it may help a bit if only to extend the good the antibiotics are doing. I use it when I get a claggy throat (every cold) so have gone so far to get it in tea bags but you may not want to go that far. Good luck with it all getting gone next time around.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on Debt Free Wannabe, Old Style Money Saving and Pensions boards.

Well done on achieving your first two goals Bluegreen143.
