You are lucky mine is £72 per month, hygienist every 6 months. I keep thinking about cancelling as the dentist has another scheme which is cheaper £25 but you pay for everything other than the check ups and hygienist.
I was told I had start of cataracts over 3 years ago, they had not got any worse when I had my last eye test at opticians just before Xmas.5.7 this morning.
Congratulations to @MeeTooTeeTo @khskel @Martin.A @PattiEvans on your HS today! What a lot of HSs !
@Grannylorraine , so pleased for you that things are going well after your cateracts op. My last opticians visit I was told I had early signs of cateracts, but the optician didn’t want to see me for two years, so I’m hoping things are ok and I won’t need an operation at least in the short term. The thought scares the heck out of me to be honest, but I’m taking comfort from what you are saying.
Bathroom now has a few tiles, the trades person only put up six tiles yesterday (but they are one metre square)

Getting a new TV for my parents today and installing that, bit of shopping and then an outdoor screening of Mamma Mia at a local National Trust place tonight.
Take care everyone and have a good Saturday!
Same here. My optician is still saying they're a long way from needing attention. Next eye test is in September so hopefully she'll still be saying that.
Ours is still more! £167 for check up and hygienist. We Googled average dental costs in UK, Carlisle was the fourth most expensive place in the country! That’s probably because we have very few dental surgeries so they can charge what they like. As for NHS dentists you haven’t a snowball’s chance in hell! It’s absolutely shocking.
You're right, it is and Cornwall is an absolute desert as far as dentists are concerned. We have some of the poorest families here, wages are lower than anywhere else in the country and if you phone for an emergency appointment you might get one 50 miles away, accessible only by train if the train staff aren't on strike. Let alone being able to afford the fare.
How much Novorapid do you normally take per 10g carbs? 36g bar of choccie may not be enough.
Well then, you need 290 grams of carb. Don't get too annoyed with yourself, you aren't the first to do it and won't be the last.
The wow was for the zip wire ( very brave) not the filling cost! Although TBF it does seem a lot for NHS. Goodness knows how much it would be for me. Ours was NHS until it wasn’t!
Think there’s one NHS dentist in the whole of Carlisle but they don’t have enough dentists!
Thank you! That gives me some hope! My mum is still ok at 95 and my dad (also 95) has only just started getting to the point where cataracts are starting to affect his vision.
As @PattiEvans says, you’re not the first to have done this. I did the exact same, taking 28U Novorapid instead of Levemir at night a few weeks ago. I ended up eating yogurts, fibre ones, etc. before going to sleep. It all worked out ok. At 1:10 then something like 290g carbs may be needed, which isn’t too hard to do.
We've spread them out through the year, the zip wire, theatre trips, music and seeing a comedian
