WEST LONDON MEET-UP THREAD - AUGUST 2006 - EALING, ACTON, CHISWICK, KEW, RICHMOND, ISLEWORTH, KINGSTON ETC.

[MrsBigD]

I'm bored so here's a new thread to organise our August meet-up

Uwila suggested
10 August or
24 August

I can do 24th

Uwila I'm flying to Munich tomorrow, well suppposed to... gotta keep an eye on BA bulletin board... grrrrrrr I was so looking forward to my weekend away and now I'm stressed a little...

Quokka... I'm carpal tunnel sufferer so can give some advice by email if you want I'll cat you later

What happened to YG's dh? haven't had time to look at other threads yet

died on holiday without warning last night. Possibly heart attack, aged 40. They're in POrtugal with their 2 dd's, her parents have just arrived to be with her I beleive.

that would be great mrsbigd.

OMG about yorkiegirl. I missed that too.

Ok, I will stop moaning about my root canal.

On alighter subject, is anyone planning to go to the xmas meetup? I need some familiar faces to join me!

Don't know my situation at that time yet so will have to hold off until closer the time. How was the dentist Uwila?

It was okay. Not as painful as I had feared. I am now pondering whether I want to spend £150 for an NHS metal crown or £300 for a private precios metal covered by porcelain crown. I'm leaning towards private.

defo private

nhs crowns not good (I believe)

I know I know... but £300 (ouch). However yes I think I'll take the plunge mostly because it uses precious metals which have a variety of better, not the least of which is that they are less likely to corrode.

She did manage to leve a bit of the titanium tool inmy root, though. Not thrilled about that.

uwila... teeths are too important and vital to go cheap.... "treat yourself"

agree - thats why I go private - £150 extra is a lot but not much over the lifetime of the crown. Will the titanium thingie be a problem?

quokka, best thing I ever got for my carpal (and subsequent de quervains tendonitis - google this because in my experience, doctors often miss it!) was a stiff wrist brace. You wear it at night (and whenever it hurts) and it helps enormously. I got mine from the physio but I imagine you can buy them at the chemist or ask the GP for them.

FIS already have the wrist splints that I wear at night which do help but just had a terrible night of pain, will do your google now - cheers

I know there are woree things happing to other people and all over the world but I need a bit of sympathy my flight has been cancelled

Oh no! What are you going to do? Can you get on another flight? I know you were really looking forward to this trip. So sorry!

Yippieh! I'm actually going!

After countless minutes on hold with BA I got through to a human being in Manchester and he re-booked me for 17:25 today

Panic & Stress over
