    I don't know anything about insurrance but can't you claim it as vandalism or something it might not affect your no claims?

    Ohh rubbish news re the bike clio have a big :grouphug: .

    How about protecting your no claims when you renew ? ( going through Quidco of course ;) ) think I paid an extra £20 but worth it in the long term.

    little bumpity bump while I'm here :D

    Clio - looks like you will have to resort to Plan B - rent yourself out as a butler in the buff to raise the extra cash:rotfl: Seriously though, sorry to hear of the expense sounds like you are stuck between a rock and a hard place:rolleyes:

    Cold here but sunny - off to have some lunch and go and get my makeover so that I can turn into a glamour puss.
