Pennies for a new bike...

georgee

Why when you get close to scraping togher the pennies for a new bike something gets in the way, was about to sell the car and use my half of the proceeds

Anywho, today I get a £2k dental bill from my rather delayed checkup, aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Goodbye new bike, see you 2011.

That's life Georgee, I'm afraid. I am after getting my motorcycle serviced and mot'd when up pops the mot for the car too. I need new brake discs and learn than I am also due a cam-belt renewal. £538 for everything - the two-wheeled Beemer will have to wait in the garage a little longer for now. That said, there are people out there really struggling financially so I can't complain really. I always have my Langster for entertainment.

" £2k dental "

Not in UK then? NHS max is about 350 quid.

I can't get NHS dental treatment, meagain. Although I pay enough out of my wages I am refused the opportunity so therefore have to pay more for going private. It's a joke! Still I'm happy that so many Somalis, Romanians and Nigerians get to get their teeth sorted for nothing. Happy St. George's Day for tomorrow. :twisted:

Eat My Dust

Buy yourself a decent bike and let your teeth fall out. That's what I'd do!!!!!

I guess you don't need teeth to chew dust.

I now have an NHS appointment for next week, we'll see what they say! Hopefully 'it will cost you £12 and incidentally carrying on the theme of those free stickers you got as a kid, we now give away a Ridley Noah with each check up'

I pay £12/month for private dental insurance mean I don't pay for regular check-ups and fillings and only pay cost for anything extra - a gold crown only cost me £90, a fraction if I'd walked-in off the street.
