Poor Mrs E is suffering tooth pain after loosing a filling and was recommended getting a Dental First Aid repair Kit (who knew such a thing existed) until she can get further help.

I was advised to go to Boots to locate the kit so I thought my best option was to call them first the day before but had no luck getting hold of someone. I BRACEd myself for another let down as I called my local pharmacy, they had a repair kit - wohooo! so BRIGHT and early on Saturday morning I went to collect it, but it was the wrong one!! I tried to call Boots again - no answer!

I took the chance and ran to Kingston, over the BRIDGE heading for the closest Boots to Mrs E's house and praying they would have the kit. They had one!! The GLEAMING dental aisle in Boots saved the day and now there was no time to DECAY - I headed towards the ever daunting Surbiton Hill for the climb to Mrs E's house , fighting TOOTH and nail to resist walking.

Thankfully I had BRUSHED up on my map reading after venturing out on another mission last week so was able to find Mrs E's house quite easily. I EXTRACTED the kit from my bag and left it outside her door and gave her a call so she could come and collect it.

Mrs E was chuffed and I felt like I was FILLING in for the TOOTH FAIRY

DENTURES just love a good run report! 🦷😉
