Remember those things that everyone had before air fryers? Absolutely; my old bat bought me one despite me being a vegetablist and that was pretty much all it got used for. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Sanchez Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 Went to the dentist today. For an appointment I made two months ago. When I got there it turned out she had phoned in sick and I hadn't checked my phone before I left so I didn't get the message. The next appointment I could get is in November. Oh and I walked there. About an hour and a half. And I turned down a shift at work because I had this appointment. And it turns out Maw Sanchez has an appointment with the same dentist tomorrow and she's just told me that she's had a call to say the dentist is back then. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I managed to get a November appointment for a routine check-up back in June. I was due one in 2019 and I've been calling them every few months since. However, they do offer emergency tooth extraction as a solution to literally any issue, from a broken filling to an abscess, so that's nice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ended up walking 15 miles today, so at least if all my teeth fall out I'm unlikely to get fat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were meant to have our routine check-ups at the beginning of August but had to cancel due to illness. We got new appointments for a couple of weeks later (last week), had the check-ups and now have appointments for next routine check-up next February. I guess it looks like I'm lucky with the dentist we are with. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Covid struck, the uni emptied and switched off all the vending machines here. Last year they turned back on about a quarter of them. If I want vending machine crisps, I have to walk for about 10 minutes past a whole row of empty machines to find a machine that is stocked. And it's the one nearest the shop. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northboy Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 TESCO self service check outs offer the option to top up your bill to the nearest 10p for unspecified good causes. I'm getting suspicious that a lot of my transactions come to £X.40 or £Y.90 before the top up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgecutter Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 Buying a 'fancy' loaf only to find a big air pocket inside, making one's toast resemble swiss cheese.

Makes sense to use bread as training for an adventure into the upper crust, otherwise you might end up toast. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
