Have a look in the settings area of your phone. Alternatively, sometimes turning it off and then on again might do the trick.

Had cheered up a bit from last night, was having housemate issues again. I swear having to live with random people not of your choosing is one of the most upsetting and stressful things about being a student.

Today though, I had to go back to the dentist.

She still didn't tell me what she was going to do. (I guess they don't really have time.) 3 fillings later, and I'm now home! (Maybe this was why she didn't tell me?!) The anesthetic is just start starting to wear off. It HURTS.

On the plus side, my panic over the random "you are okay with silver fillings" is somewhat relieved. I can't see any new silver. On the downside, I have to go back again in a couple of weeks time.

Thanks, Baz and Juniper. Yes - Juniper - I'm on Three so maybe it was a network problem (I did try turning the phone off/took the battery out etc. but it didn't help).

Thankfully all is working again today!! *phew*

Toothache has mostly eased, but one partcularly filling is still incredibly painful, and causing sympathy pain in the teeth underneath it. Not sure what's going on there, but hopefully it'll also settle in soon. Forgot to take any painkillers to work though, so you can imagine what my concentration has been like all day...!


Hows things going with muzikalbadger? Hope things are getting better now you've started getting treated etc.

I have had a rubbish week, and it's only Tuesday. Turned up to the station yesterday to find that the rail company (Northern Rail - quite happy to name names in this case) had revised the timetable and, without prior consultation or warning, had removed from the timetable the train I depend on to get me into work on time. mad.gif mad.gif [Oh, and the later service that they have put in its place (which gets in too late anyway) was then cancelled - !]

The net result of the change is that despite having 3 train stations within 5 miles of my home, I have to drive more than twice that distance to get to a different station which will provide me with a train that actually gets me into work on time. AND I have 4 months left to run on a season ticket which now covers several miles of journey I can no longer use (but have paid for). Grrrrrr...........

(Goes off to try to find someone official to complain to - not that complaining to such bodies ever makes any difference!)

I was supposed to be playing the organ for a wedding at another church this Saturday. Rang the bride-to-be this morning, only to be told that my services wouldn't be required after all, as they are now having someone else play.

They could've told me beforehand! mad.gif

Oooh, no fun Celeste. I remember the jolly good painkillers I was given, that were jolly good at killing pain, but also jolly good at leaving me rather high! Not good for writing essays, and strange to find oneself walking to lectures with a hand on the side of the building to make sure you go in a straight line.

Sympathise on the nightmares - a (non-painkilling) medication I take now, if I am dehydrated, I get horrid nightmares. Worse now the nights are getting hotter, as I can go to bed nicely hydrated but heat up and dehydrate overnight sad.gif
