Teeth and TV
The bad news is that I had to visit the emergency dentist - I had a temporary filling yesterday on a sore tooth and today it got a lot worse. Severe pain with even the gentlest bite (it was when I hurt to bite a banana that I knew I was in trouble) and hyper temperature sensitivity.
Have been given antibiotics for an abscess. Oh Joy. Eating soup at lukewarm temperatures. that hurts a bit, but not nearly as much as anything else.
I'm going to try and find an NHS dentist. I'm fed up of paying what I'm currently paying. I'm even more fed up of paying it when I need to visit an emergency dentist a day later...
On another front, Tivo has become a lot less useful as the thumbs up facility no longer works (a general problem affecting all UK Tivos, though I gather there may be a hack that would solve it.)
Decided to see whether it was worth going back to Sky in order to get Sky +
Price online - £99 with any normal Sky package.
I don't read Money Saving Expert for nothing. I phoned up Sky, pointed out that I was a former customer who'd left nine months ago for reasons of cost (all verified by their records), that I had a Tivo and thus felt Sky + wasn't worth as much to me as to everyone else, and asked what the best deal they could offer me was. Net result? I'm getting Sky + for free (no cost for box/installation) as long as I keep a Sky contract for twelve months, and if I cancel Sky TV before then, I only have to pay £10 a month for the first year to keep the Sky + box, and that's no more than I was paying for Tivo anyway.
Not bad for someone whose tooth feels like a lance has been stabbed through it every time I drink a sip of warm tea.
