Shock it isn’t even nice chocolate now Sad

I always knew Curlywurlies were tricky.

But, fwiw, £256 sounds bargainacious for root canal and a crown. I realise that's probably not helping much. But it could be worse, OP. Chin up (although, gently).

I saw a mars bar in a shop the other day for £1.80. I thought it was a mistake and asked but nope, £1.80 Confused

I suggested to the café at work that they should have a sign up saying "chocolate 25% off".
He said they weren't having any special offers. I said, no, I was referring to the amount of chocolate per bar. Grin

A few years ago I bit into a chip , broke a bit of tooth and that cost me £750 ........8-10 years down the line and I ended up needing a root canal in the same tooth and that was £1200 !

I did this with a caramel log (well, it was my third, so my own greed at fault)

Strawberry Bon Bon got me the day before I was induced. So had to go to the dentist when dd was 3 days old for new crown.

This happened to me when I bit into a shop bought gingerbread man which was as hard as concrete

I once broke a back tooth in half on a red fruit pastille. I was sucking it at the time. Not even chewing... sigh
