    Oh no Dinah! That's bad news, but at least NIM's OK. I'm sure that even if you do go into the overdraft it'll be cleared quickly, luckily you didn't book Paris or you would have been feeling the pinch!

    I say that too Wendz. Always tell NIM I would rather not get happy as it means something bad is right around the corner.

    On the plus side, paid off the last £3 to Barclaycard and closed the account on Saturday.

    Urgh he's all stroppy, the postcodes on the job he was going down to do were wrong so he's not going to get the £70 he was off out driving for in the first place. Can't see him pulling round in time for his interview at 4pm either. ARGH!

    Interview is at 4pm, I'm sure he'll go, just I'm not sure he will be in the right state of mind to concentrate.

    Someone in the office just said that you can't claim off someone elses car insurance unless the police are in attendance and a report is logged. Sounds like baloney to me, anyone want to prove me wrong?!

    I don't think that is true, when my dad had a crach, i was in car, he went into car in front and car behind went into him. No police came but they had to claim off each others insurance. That might have just been the polite thing to do though. Maybe that is true?

    My friend has been in a few bumps and the police have never been involved but the bumpee has always claimed off her insurance so I think that your colleagues claim is baloney! Not setting that in stone though as I've never had a bump and wouldn't really know what happens!

    Knew DF-dom was too good to be true. NIM just rear ended someone, he's fine just shaken, however the other person will need a new rear bumper and poss exhaust and I don't think our insurance will cover it as the car is down as being in his name, but its in mums as he never got around to changing it. We only have £677 or something in the ISA, the rest is in the regular saver we can't draw money out of, so back into the overdraft we go.

    Now I'm sad.

    Big huge hugs for you and NIM, the main thing is the naked man is ok x
