Yes thanks meech seems to have calmed down although I am keeping the pain killeers close by to be sure. Also still worried that I can't get the crown put back on until 18th. Private patients get priority for appointments!
You'll have to forgive me, I'm not too familiar with your healthcare system. What do you mean private patients? Do they pay extra money or something? That's ridiculous to be denied healthcare in a reasonable time frame

Not bad thanks very busy time of year in school.
Most of the morning is rehearsals for our concert,
hopefully it will all be alright on the day.
My class are cooking a turkey lunch tomorrow
so we'll all eat together and have a very festive meal.
I'm hoping to pick up a few tips from them to help me on Xmas Day.

Hi again meech, it is a two tier system really.
Everyone has to pay for dental treatment but it's different rates,
- less if you are a National Health Service patient (like me) but you get less options.
or you can be a private patient and pay into schemes like Denplan,
but you still pay more for treatment - which is more profitable for the dentist.
So many practices only take private patients now.
Even as a NHS patient if e.g. I want a white crown instead of a metal one (an ugly grey metal thing)
because that is classed as cosmetic I still have to pay private fees even though I am NHS.
So you are definitely a lesser mortal if you are not NHS.

Don't be silly, she didn't turn into a pumpkin!
She turned into a slipper (or something).
Nos da, have a great turkey fest tomorrow.

Well jeez, I'm sorry :( I don't have dental insurance at all so I can understand that struggle

!!!!DOCTOR WHO SEASON 9 SPOILERS!!!!!

No, no, no, not the same guy
Different actor, different character, but the same sneaky species
Night night!
Enjoy and see you tomorrow for a report!
Hooray! I've finished the two-parter of "Under the Lake/Before the flood" :D Good stuff!

I've been hosting a book club for about a year and a half. I enjoy sharing views/critiques/whatever probably a bit too much:) Well, it ain't no dern book, but here goes some random thoughts that came to my mind about the episode...
In no particular discernable order:) :

Appreciated the deaf character and use of sign language. Would have found it very fun and clever if the Tardis translated sign and both the Doctor and Clara could sign fluently, but I see how the use of sign added to the story.

I thought the Doctor's social flashcards were funny. "I am sorry for the loss of your loved one/friend/pet"--or however it went exactly :D The cards are a funny idea.

I'm desperately missing the sonic screwdriver. There's no way this can last! I didn't think the sunglasses would be a permanent thing.:( Funny at first, now, not so much! There were a million times I wanted to see him use the sonic: on the ghosts, on the suspended animation capsule, and I wanted to see him try to sonic the closed blast doors that divided them. Plus, I like the swish of the wrist and the whirring sounds:( I like it being used to threaten Aliens, when it's just a screwdriver! :(

Loved when the doctor gave the excited/horrified dialogue leading up to: "I want to kiss it to death." -Great stuff!

Liked the Beethoven time travel analogy and how it fit in the end of the episode.

I DO like the guitar. I could absolutely see your view on it, but I think it's different to have a doc who plays an instrument and I like that electric guitar bleeds into the credits. Yes, he dresses "cool," but I think he still acts like such a "fuddy-duddy" that I don't think it's too over the top. Besides the previous doctor wore an old fashioned "nerdier" ensemble. So, it works for me.

Loved when the deaf leader of the group poses the question to Clara about whether travelling with the Doctor has made her accustomed to sacrificing others' lives.

And finally! (Yes, I can talk and type! You've seen this already!), of course, I loved the Doctor jumping out of the sleep chamber. We all know it's coming, but still a fun bit of writing there :D

Ta-da!

Now, I'm passing the talking quill over to you and going to bed:)

I think you can get temporary fillings at the chemist, might be worth a try?
