Not so much a rant but anxiety.

my tooth beside the main front teeth has a veneer on it. The veneer kept falling off and I’d go back to the dentist to have it put back on. A few months later it was off again. This happened so many times that after the last visit and the damn thing was put on sideways (looked like a pointed fang) it fell off and I got sick of going back constantly. So I left it off.

All was fine for a year then last night I bit down into a wrap and suddenly I felt a hardness in my mouth. Half of the tooth had come off with a perfect snap down the centre vertically.

i am extremely terrified of The dentist - like severely and I spent last night panicking and freaking out, shaking and barely able to breath out of fear. I was supposed to meet a friend this Thursday and she wanted us to go out to eat together. This friend lives up north and I haven’t seen her since 2019 so I was super excited and now I’m just embarrassed of my broken front tooth.

it would be fine if I could chew on the rest of my teeth but I had to have a deep filling the last time I went and since then I can’t chew on the right side of my mouth. She also drilled a little on my back left tooth and I can now no longer bite down there. So now with the front gone….

I'm not sure how to eat anything that isn’t soft.

I'm too scared to go back to the dentist as my teeth seem to go from good to worse every time I go :( I didn’t have any problems before those things.

I think I’d change dentists if I were you.

I might look into it. I keep getting varying dentists there since my original left. My current is great with my anxiety but none of the work seems to be helping but making it worse.
 
I am fuming.

I got a text a couple of hours ago though I didn't notice it for a bit:
"Hi Anthony, we've received and paid for a couple of bills due to items blocking the pipes, it seems things might be flushed down the toilet that shouldn't be. Please can only toilet roll, flushable wipes be flushed down the toilet. Thanks."

Remember when I basically had no running water for a week because neither the letting agents nor the property owner wanted to pay for the foul water pipe to be unblocked? No food, no toilet, no nothing because if I did it would end up in my kitchen and nobody wants poop on their kitchen floor? And how when it had finally been unblocked the inspection cap on the pipe got cracked and was leaking foul water again but they wouldn't send someone out to look at it til I told them it was blocked again?

It's taking a lot of self control not to ring up the letting agents and fully ream them out because I am not taking responsibility for their lazy penny pinching backsides when the guy who unblocked the pipe, with the pressure hose, said himself "Usually it's wet wipes or something, but that's just toilet roll."

They'd better hope they don't turn up unannounced again any time soon. They're not gonna like it if they do.

I'd be fuming to @Lorcan! It's clearly the Landlord's or the Letting Agent's fault that it ended up like this! Don't let them bully you into thinking anything else.

oh, they know that, I know that, and we each know the other knows that. But it seems they're trying to pull a fast one on the housing association and I won't have that. Considering this all went down in early February I've no doubt they're using the time gap as "well actually this is what happened" and who would argue with them after so long?

Me. My memory isn't perfect but it's better than most and I was there for both the unblocking of the pipe and when they were given a quote to replace it. I half wonder if they're trying to overcharge on that too. But the letting agent has been next to useless so far, and claimed they were "just driving by" and decided to pop round except if you're coming here you have to be deliberately coming here because we're off street, so to speak. And I said then once they'd gone, they're here looking for something to complain about and they chose to complain about the garden. In February. Nobody fixes a garden in December, January or February.

But you leave me with no running water for a week and I'm happy to make your paperwork life absolute hell. Nobody gets that sort of a free pass.

(sorry, still slightly miffed, although the HA have agreed to look into it again)
 
It’s not a rant but I REALLY need to finish the cleaning I started yesterday. I just can’t bring myself to get started again. Was rather unwell this morning thanks to numb limbs and an hour of impaired vision from a retinal migraine. Up and about now but hrrrrgh cleaning.
Due to noise laws here there will be no vacuuming today but if I could just get the point where it’s only the floors left to clean and wash..

As a fellow migraine sufferer, the cleaning will wait. I need to remind myself of this too, sometimes, I'm as guilty. But it will wait.

Yeah but it’s been waiting all week already because I was so exhausted after work that I didn’t keep on top of things 😂😂
 
I once had to cancel every appointment I had for about 10 days straight because I went on a bender and started a job I then couldn't do anything except finish or I wouldn't have had a place to sleep (and I spent most of it unable to access my own front door, and by the time I was finished I couldn't remember what I was mad enough at to have started in the first place).

But it will still wait!
 
Oh it’s never THAT bad. He worst areas are always the top of the shoe cabinet in the hallway and the top of the dining table as they seem to be dumping grounds for stuff. The rest is just usual cleaning. Washed an Everest of dishes Friday night and the kitchen is cleaned aside from the floor needing a wash.
I’ll tackle the bathroom later and if I am feeling bold I might have a go at the dining table clutter. Living room and bedrooms are done aside from floors.

Pace yourself. 😃
 
I first flew at 14. We went to Portugal. I was so excited to get the airline meal - it looked very exotic and had a little black 'grape' perched on top. My first olive - and when you're expecting a grape what a terrible shock. I thought I must have been poisoned - I didn't touch them again for about 10 years!
 
I really do think teachers and school workers should have been listed as 'front line' like medical staff. Classrooms are hooching with all types of germs. I'm so sorry for you - I hope you feel better soon (you'd be forgiven for cracking your Easter eggs early!) x

I've got 4 tests left. As a volunteer I mix with 3 different groups of kids in the week and don't want to spread anything from one to the other. I had 6 and guarded them jealously but daughter was off school 2 days last week and was sooo poorly - coughing, hot and cold - that I sacrificed 2 to check it wasn't covid (Thurs and Sun). She was solidly negative and we think it was just a nasty cold, esp as when she actually got covid last year she didn't have symptoms at all. I think when the tests run out I'll feel very nervous...

Thank you, I feel no worse currently than a bad cold, but I have had 3 vaccines. My daughter has had a cold for just over a week now, we've tested during the week and over the weekend for sporting clubs - all negative and that's exactly what I thought I had, I tested yesterday and this morning both negative but learnt about a child in class testing positive so not at school today which worried me and then something else came to light, so I tested in my lunch break and there was the positive test, I can't be sure where I've picked it up from but it seems most likely it was school. I've been so careful when others aren't anymore, which is personal choice, but I'm grateful I currently am not really ill.

I work in a school kitchen. No one is wearing masks anymore in communal areas. Not teachers, TAs. I am. But I’m starting to feel a bit silly for still wearing it. ☹️

I don't wear my mask in school as I work with the youngest and seeing our faces is so important, it was in the news the other day about children being behind and not able to read expressions, delayed speech etc. I do still wear my mask in supermarkets, shops etc. I kind of hoped that our school community would look out for each other but not everyone does so it's hard. If I'm honest I'm surprised I haven't had it before now!

Yes I agree with not wearing in the classrooms. But when mingling with the whole school I just think it’s a safe thing to do.
 
Popping in to have a mini rant - my 14 year old daughter is still stuck in the UK, after the UK passport lost both of her passports almost 2 months ago :no:
I miss her so much and she is very upset becasue she hasn't been home since Christmas. I did pop over to see her for the Feb half term, but she really needs to be home again with the whole family now.
The saddest part is most people just don't get it, and say things like 'well if it bothers you that much then why send her to school in another country'.
I wish more people understood that all kids are different and the reality is that a lot of people would never choose the things they end up doing for their kids.
I would NEVER have sent my child to boarding school, let alone in another country, but for various reasons this ended up being the absolute best option for her and I don't regret allowing her to follow her dreams for a minute.
But I am still mad that the incompetence of a government agency (who refuse to take responsibility) can mess up and not be accountable in any way.

After 40 minutes I eventually went into the shower, haven’t seen it since… think it’s worse when you don’t know where it is! Lol
 
It's snowing in Finland. It's April. The previous snow did not even melt yet, and now we are getting more. It's APRIL. Where's my spring?

Hopefully today's snow is winter's last hurrah in Finland. I'm reliably informed though that it's April in Scotland too, but the Highlands have had heavy snow today and some high level roads are blocked :eek::san:
