ouch that's higher than the amounts I was looking at where I am.

This was my last week's research:

Dentist 1) £54 New patient
Dentist 2) £75 new patient
Dentist 3- Bupa, New Patient £104, Hygienist £96, Small filling £125, Large filling £189
Dentist 4) Does 3 memberships. £X Amount per month.

£770!,that's steep they were £250-£500 here.

^ think i'm going to have to shop around. I suspect if I look at towns on the coast or somewhere further a field and bigger near where I am - like Crawley or Brighton they will be cheaper (I hope!).

A filling is from £200 doesn't say small or large!

Sadly not Well none that are taking on new patients. There is a place that's re opening about 12? miles from me that has a big banner up saying opening soon and taking new NHS patients. I have registered my interest online (which is what they asked you to do) but there’s no guarantee. I can imagine the website has been bombarded!

I don't know how they expect a lot of people to be able to afford private dental fees.

^ Yeah i have no idea. I just saw a dentist for the first time in a few years recently because we found one that was taking new NHS patients in a bigger town near here. Had to wait six months for an initial check up but it was worth the wait.

Had the carer in a bit earlier. He looked at a picture on my wall of myself, my best friend and my sister and said "is that your mum and dad?"

When I went to pick up my car the mechanic did not recognise me at all haha. This morning when I dropped it off I'd just rolled out of bed and before I picked it up I'd had a shower and got dressed properly.

My car passed but it needs a new battery. He said it's best to get it done before the winter and that it'll go when I'm all dressed up and ready to go out. As if I go out, out haha.

Hope your cat's okay, Consolida . My dog seems to be having a little incontinence. Apparently it's due to being spade and getting older. She has to have oestrogen tablets to see if it stops it.

In bed with a cat on my stomach.

Hoping the weight of her will expel my trapped wind.

Reeling a bit from what i think was a successful negotiation of my VM contract renewal. They offered a new 18 month contract on the same package for £24p/m (down from my current £30p/m which ends this month going into a rolling contract of £50+ p/m...!!). I tried to haggle a little but was quite pleased to take the offer. Anyway, i wasn't getting my hopes up because of a bad experience from last time, but i got a pre contract email and the details checked out, so i went ahead. All appears to be done. I have checked to see whether anythings yet changed on my account - nothing so far but perhaps it's a bit too early.

^ nice!

I've just been down to the dump. Taking stuff to the recycling centre is possibly one of my favourite things to do. The fellas that work there are really nice too and do all the lifting for ya.

Now it's time for a wardrobe sort out and to take clothes to the charity shop.
