    Got my Pip money so think I'm going to use it to deal with the tooth. Despite that being exactly what it's there for, I deeply resent this 😁

    It’s money well spent on your tooth and will be worth it to get it sorted out once and for all. 
    I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)
  • I know @Sun_Addict, I think I'm kinda using the money aspect to disguise to myself how much I really, really don't want to have the work done. It's not a whole tooth through, or even an equally partially through one, it's a fang of a wisdom tooth (that always amuses dentists) and they're going to have to take apart the gum to get the rest out, and my jaw isn't a shape for it to be 'easily' accessible, and my painful joints really can't stay in one position for long, and I still have dodgy memory after a general anaesthetic years ago and it's made me scared to even have mild local sedation, and now I come to write it down, its going to be terrifying and horrible in every possible way and I don't want to do it and I don't want to pay money to have it done, that's madness surely, who would pay actual money they actually need, to have a drill and scalpel in their face and their body in agony and their remaining few brain cells vulnerable

    Might just take my wobbly wisdom tooth for a couple of nights away with that money instead, it can be wined and (gently) dined and we'll both have a much better time

    It's about time humans phased out wisdom teeth and definitely time to give them a more appropriate name in line with the Trade Descriptions Act.  
  • Okay I've put big girl pants on, emergency dental appointment booked for this morning before I could talk myself out of it. Eek, wish me luck! Hope everyone is getting a bit of sunshine where they are, so nice to see
