Mundane facts about your day: Part Deux.

[Cue]

Now I have the fun debate: root canal or extraction?

Assuming the tooth I had filled in January isn’t just throbbing with pain intermittently throughout the day for shits and giggles I’m probably going to have to decide between a root canal or just pulling it tomorrow, assuming the tooth can be saved.

If I extract, implants are a no-go, way too expensive. But it sounds like I’ll need something to put in there (bridge?) or I’ll end up with my other teeth shifting about due to the extra space.

Anyone got some anecdotal experience of the two options?

I've got a 'bridge on a bonded retainer' for the front top 4 or 5.
Had it done years ago by Mr Goodwin at Friars Terrace.
Actually 27 years ago (when they were still upstairs by The Grapes) when I was pregnant , he did it then so that I wouldn't have to pay the expensive cost.So the bridge has so far lasted that long.
Had loads of painful root canal work done before he whipped all those top front ones out.
Had to have temporary false ones on a plate, which filled the whole roof of my mouth and made me gag, for 6 weeks while the bridge was being made.
(Couldn't say S's with the false ones in , making ringing customers at work quoting our order numbers ,which all started with 'SW' , rather fun. Had to keep repeating 'efffth for thugger' )

On two occasions, I have carefully stated my postcode over the phone - Sierra Tango One etc...

I have then been asked to confirm that my address is in Canterbury.

I was a bit mystified the first time, but she insisted that "Sierra begins with a C, you should say 'Sugar'..."

Glad I’m not the only one who’s had that pop up

Was stopped at Stone Road/Beaconside roundabout just with a massive police and army vehicle convoy. There was even a fire engine at the back. Assume they were transporting weapons but there are people better in the know than me.

I have heard it stated that, on just two days of last week, the Russians in Donbas used more (conventional) munitions than the UK has in stock.

Sounds about right - heard it said that we borrowed most of the worlds Wombat ammo for the Falklands War

I'm not having a good day. I've tried to cheer myself up with some music while cooking. Ended up over thinking the lyrics Everything I'm worried and scared about is out of my control though so I've just got to wait for the major wibble to pass. If the post office collection would show up for my parcels. that would be a big help though. Trying to break it all down into small things easier to cope with but I'm hitting dead ends with most of it. Deep breaths, deep breaths.

Wondered what all the big fuss was about as we walked past a crowd in the victorian market on Saturday , all watching a bald headed bloke by the balloons outside Shipleys Bingo........turns out it was an Eastenders star Jake Wood. If he was one of the the bald headed blokes chatting to me in the pub around the corner at night I wouldn't have known

I'd have regaled him with tales of Ena Sharples, Minnie Caldwell and Martha Longhurst until the point at which he lost the will to live.

Saw lots of these little characters hanging from the branches in the woods on our lunchtime walk.... from the local ancient church asking you to take them home or give to someone who needs prayers at this time...... I left them there for others to enjoy (better than the usual doggy bags slung on the branches)

Looks like my Spidey senses were tingling. Dad's waiting for an ambulance to take him off to New Cross. Seems like a blockage his end of the catheter. Here we go again

Had my first uPVC call in a while, in this economic climate of all things

Apparently I could get up to £3000 towards new windows by scrapping my old ones! That’s covers a whopping 30% of the cost of new ones.

In no world does a new set of windows cost £10k. Shysters. The only “trade” that has salesmen.

The scrappage scheme doesn't even exist, it's made up. They often use not quite government symbols to pretend it's something official but its a lie.
