Thanks mate. It's not been a classic tbh. I did buy some bad taste Nikes and a Clash t shirt, but other than that I've had some sort of horrible bladder infection for the last week which makes me want to pee every five minutes, so I'm loaded up on weapons grade antibiotics at the mo and can't even have a fecking drink. Just as well I actually really like cranberry juice.
I've also got the spectre of tooth implant surgery this monday hanging over me, along with the astronomical bill that'll go with it, and the potential misery of the recovery period. This is round two, after the first attempt eight months ago ended in failure and left me with more pain than I've ever known and a monstrous bill. Consequently I'm not looking forward to round two on any level.
Still, I've made it through another year relatively unscathed, had some great experiences, and I'm relatively positive about the future, so as birthdays go, it's just nice to be alive and kicking and still in reasonably good shape.
Shit! Well that is a bit of a crap time, I’ll have to have a drink for you
Hope it all clears up, the tooth thing is so bloody expensive. The GF fiancé recently had a gum infection and had to have a root canal. £350, then it appeared on the other side, double whammy.
