Yesterday and today were Quite Interesting. Went to see the Practice Nurse for a medication review and agreed to have a go at losing some weight (which I was going to do anyway) in return for getting my medication renewed and some advice on other things

Oy!

I hear you on expensive dental work! :o/

[lil_shepherd]

I do have an NHS dentist, but they don't do root canal work or high grade cosmetic work (not that I care to have the latter at my age.) Instead, they bring in a consultant.

I needed a replacement crown and prefer the quality of the private work.

Ouch!
Wishing you all the best getting over the torture dentistry

The ridiculous thing is that the local anesthetics are so good that the actual drilling and so on doesn't hurt. What hurts is keeping your mouth propped open for an hour or so, and the inability to swallow. Currently eating on one side of my mouth so as not to disturb the temporary filling...

we were... er... delayed by a half price sale at the fashion department of Debenhams

My sister-in-law talks of veiung 'intimidated' by such distractions...

I am averting my eyes gtom the bit of this post that deals with dentistry (hope the ibuprofen is taking effect)!

Anent dentists.

It's the way you go for a consultation and suddenly, "If you like we'll start on the work now."

Thing is, the Debenham's sale was full of lightweight summer stuff with a vaguely sixties and seventies feel... Mind you, Ina ended up with a lovely royal purple double-breasted wool winter coat for forty quid.
