A Trip To The Dentist

I am lucky that I only have to visit the dentist once a year. Nothing is usually wrong but I want to keep my teeth as long as possible, so I go. I had a check up and 2 x-rays (because I haven't had any x-rays taken for 3 years) and nothing is wrong. How much did it cost me to find this out ... £47.50 !!!! There are no NHS dentists on the Isle of Wight only private ones. Luckily they still treat the children under the NHS. I have looked into Denplan etc. but have worked out we would be well out of pocket.

Today's job was to help Lisa sort out her wardrobe. She's got rid of 3 bags of clothes (lucky Elena)! We went through all the things she already has and put them in the conservatory ready for the journey to Roehampton. Things like towels, bedding, pots & pans, 1st aid, toiletries etc. She sorted out all her paper work and has it all filed in a folder with labels so she knows what's what (Monica {Friends} at her best ~ lol). She went through everything that she would have to spend, tuition fees, accommodation, TV licence, Internet connection and then it dawned on us that she hadn't got a cheque book!!! She left it a bit late to apply for a student bank account and her loan is being paid into her savings account {roll eyes}. After brain storming she came up with a solution and has phoned the bank who will do there best to send a cheque book asap. If it doesn't get here in time, goodness knows what we'll do.
