Well after a complete nightmare of a trip to see my dentist where I used to live, (lashing rain, slow traffic because of puddles, a delivery van up the bank so one lane of the A31 was closed, a closed road that I needed to take to actually get to my dentist so I had to take a diversion) I FINALLY arrived at the dentist. Lucky I left 2 hours early! The dentist could find nothing wrong with my tooth but said that if the pain got worse or there was a lump in the gum, I was to phone back. If the tooth needed to be removed I would be added to the very long waiting list (currently 4 months in Hampshire

she wasn't sure about Dorset but it was probably the same!). The drive home was only slightly better. There was an accident on the M27 (4 Fire Engines, 2 Ambulances, 2 Police Cars, 1 Traffic Officer) so 1 lane was blocked. The delivery van up the bank on the A31 was still there. The only positive thing was it had stopped raining! It took 1 hr 34 mins to get to the dentist and 1 hr 15 to get home! It is 40 miles on fast roads and usually takes about an hour.
