Ulcer-tainly buy Bonjela
Me: Hi, could you tell me where the Bonjela is please?
Lady in Boots: I’m sorry we’ve sold out.
Me: Ah, that’s a shame… (I start mindlessly scanning products next to the till; there are no other customers; there’s a couple of moment’s silence)
Lady in Boots: There is Bonjela Cool
Me: Oh, what’s that then?
Lady in Boots: The same, but minty – nobody likes it.
Me: Oh alright then. (I nod gratefully and walk towards the door past a shelf full of new Bonjela Cool, next to an empty space for Bonjela original)

Thank you Samantha, that was fun!
I hope that you’re well.
How about another entry telling us about your recent adventure hammering your built-in wardrobe into small pieces and taking them to the tip, in order to make way for your lovely wooden wardrobe that you bought on ebay?
Some photos would make it even better.

The only good thing about mouth ulcers is the Bonjela experience. I feel you were right to reject an inferior minty version. If in serious discomfort, iced gin lightly diluted with tonic swilled around the mouth and swallowed frequently may numb both the physical and mental discomfort of an ulcer, especially if you don’t have to go to work the next day.
