Still with the toothache...

Ouch.

(I'm not registered with an NHS dentist, none in the area are taking on new patients, and I can't afford to pay for dental treatment.)

Eating lunch earlier (an omlette for crying out loud...) the pain hit so bad I thumped the table and broke the plate. (Yeah, that may also explain why I keep buggering up my hand as well...) I honestly don't know how long I can put up with it.

Ow.

Anyways, I know I haven't posted anything about the London weekend two weeks ago (dude, TWO WEEKS!! How did that happen?!) it's because my poor old computer is getting old and cantakerous and is having 'issues' transferring pictures from my camera. *pets computer* It was an awesome time, not just because Steve, Rosalee and Darren were awesome as always, but because I got to spend time with friends in person - I didn't realise how much I'd missed that until I got home and realised that for a week the only people I spoke to were shop assistants and library staff. I will post about it and share pics soon - promise!

But never mind, the real reason for posting right now, and for posting with the icon which might seem a tad odd until this: I'm going to VAMPIRE BALL! Yay! (Or at least, I've just put an order in and am waiting for confirmation... *starts worrying*). It feels like forever since I was at a con as an attendee not staff! (Don't get me wrong - I LOVE working at cons, but at the last two Asylum's I saw a total of two panels.)

Plus? CHRIS!

I don't know if I'm going to be working at Asylum this year, I have emailed Wayne about it but apart from a question over Easter weekend I haven't heard back. I'm disappointed because I had a lot of fun working with the Rogue crew (I know some of you have issues with the way the cons are run, but they're good folks and really do try to make things as smooth as possible - plus, you have to admit it gets better every time) ad thought I did a good job for them but... there's still time, Wayne's a busy little really-quite-tall bee and there's still a month to go so...

Right, since I forgot to bring my pen drive with me to the library (sorry Cat, got your message about the landscape thing but don't have any relevant stock, it'll be Tuesday before I can get you a second draft) and the sun is splitting the trees out there, I'm going to go and try to avoid the funeral at the bowling green across from my house. :)

hope you get better soon! You should try phoning nhs direct and explaining your problem - legally the nhs has to provide you treatment, and they can find someone who will see you. Even if it's just a one-time appointment rather than getting to be registered properly. Not that the nhs is necessarily free for dentistry... it's still heavily subsidised though isn't it? I never quite understood the system. Then again, I did my best to avoid it by not having been to the dentist since my 19th birthday, which was the last day it was completely free. That's.... five and a half years now? That's terrible. I must go when I get back from travelling (right now my teeth feel fine, and if a dentist fiddles with them they might get sore... I don't want to tempt fate before I go).

No problem about the tuesday thing, it gives me something to look forward to!! :D if you let me know what time you're going to be online, I can make sure I'm around, make for a faster route of communication?

Did you get my gazillion texts long of quotes btw? I can type it out again into an email if that's easier for you? here is the link to that song I mentioned.

Having had a bad toothache a while ago I'm all with the sympathy!

Re the "none in the area are taking new patients" - have you tried making it clear that it is an emergency? My experience (in Australia admittedly) was that even if they're booked up for weeks they will often fit you in if they know you're in severe pain and not just coming in for a clean or inspection.

Hun, if you contact NHS Direct they should be able to let you know where the nearest emergency NHS dental centre is. (I'm assuming these exist north of the border.) It's NHS care, but for those not currently registered with an NHS dentist. (I've heard really good things about the one in my town.)
