My first day back at work went ok, but largely because I was able to start an hour earlier therefore I had enough time to have a coffee and have something to eat before I left. I had a bowl of rice pudding with a dollop of jam, and that kept my stomach satisfied for quite a while. I had a cup...

I don't know why but yesterday I suddenly remembered the trend back in the day of having a name on your house or bungalow as well as the number. "Bella Vista" was a very popular one round my way. We didn't have one but I remember "Windrush" was opposite, "Corner ways" was the first house in...

I know this might sound really silly but I regret not taking a picture of my teeth at their absolute worst, so if I'm ever getting that feeling that I wish I hadn't had this done I'd just take a look at that and know that it was definitely the right thing to do. There are a couple of "dodgy"...

The dentist I registered with because they were literally the only place where somebody actually answered the phone and didn't just play a voice message saying that the waiting list for NHS was 6 mths to a year told me that they weren't accepting new nhs patients but did do a kind of "in...

Despite all the problems I've been having the dentist I've been seeing is an absolute angel and I've visited many dentists in my time and have never come across anyone so caring and supportive as she is. She is sympathetic and totally non judgemental. I was prepared to pay whatever it cost but...

The other thing throughout this horrible time I've literally lost interest in shopping. I've not watched Q for months. I bought some Christmas presents early in the summer 'cause there was a massive sale in my catalogue but other than that I've bought nothing...I just want that normality back...

Back to work next Thursday and I'm now having to really buckle down and practice so I can find a viable solution to the food problem. I'm only doing two short shifts and then I'll be on a week's holiday. I shall be starting an hour later for these two shifts meaning I can start at 8am, still a...

Back to the dentist today and she was able to make a small adjustment to the lowers. I have to say they feel a fair bit more stable even without the glue, however I doubt whether it's gonna make much of a difference to the eating situation. I'm not gonna try today as I've had enough but I'll...

I think it stems back to my early days when my dad used to take me out when I was small, he was interested in boats so we'd often visit nearby harbours to have a look. I remember us walking right up to the edge and even at that young age not trusting myself not to jump. I just ran back in the...

I've been watching a lot of Netflix and I stumbled upon a film/documentary about this couple who climb skyscrapers and cranes on top of skyscrapers wearing normal clothes, no harnesses, the woman sometimes wore high heeled shoes. They would get to the highest point and pose for selfies. Of...

I guess it can cover safety but it translates as good journey

I know that there are nutters and drunk people on planes along with mechanical problems . Of course with weirdos and drunks there are things you can do to be careful but anything else is out of your control so I just think it adds an element of doubt especially for the nervous traveller. If...

In this age of social media there are many posts from people who are going on holiday and post "At Gatwick on the way to Malaga" that sort of thing, ok it's probably not wise to announce that your house is gonna be empty for a week or two, but that's another story. Is it just me who hates it...

I seriously think though if it was only the top plate I'd have had a good experience, well a better experience at least. As I said it's the bottom set that's giving me all the problems, which from what I understand are usually a lot trickier to get along with, but I thank you and everybody for...

I guess it depends upon whether you had immediate dentures or you went straight for the permanent ones. It's been said that the immediate dentures are notoriously difficult to get on with whereas people have fewer problems once they get the permanent ones. I've just looked back on your earlier...

I've got a meeting with my line manager tomorrow evening. I'm gonna turn up teeth in so he can hear first hand how much I'm struggling with speech at the moment. I'm gonna try and keep them in all the time but if I find it's too much I'll have to ask him to leave the room for a second so I can...

Definitely, I have a holiday last week of November anyway, so if I'm signed of until then it'll give me much more time to concentrate on this instead of worrying about work. I have messaged my line manager and he's gonna organise a one to one where I can see him and he'll see how difficult I'm...

I’ve always had that down as an option but I really do need to give it a go teeth in first. If it really proves too much to bear then I’ll have to go without. I’m not great wearing a mask all day either but I’d rather do that than be seen toothless. I’m still quite stressed and thinking of going...

There are some more "office based" jobs but not only do they require intense training, they start even earlier than I do and a lot of the work they do is based downstairs on the shop floor so customer interaction is unavoidable and of course there's a fair bit of telephone work involved so...

Unfortunately there’s not really any “ behind the scenes jobs there” apart from Warehouse which is all heavy duty stuff done bry blokes!
