    When you renew your claim you automatically get a second payment and then the regular ones kick in. Do you think it could just be the rounding off payment?

    I have sent my paperwork off but haven't heard back from TC yet. As for ringing them I gave up last week and rang off after 20 minutes. Its a chargeable call.

    Hope you get it sorted.

    But I havent sent anything back yet so not renewed anything. I know they do a one off payment but as I havent sent any figures in I cant see how they have rounded it off yet?

    Car is not as dangerous as the man made out, i drove it like a nervous wreck this morning. It is definitely much louder now than the accident. Halfords say it could have been made worse by the accident as it hit the back of me and then I try and straighten up it could have knocked the anti roll bar.
    I think I am going to have problems with getting carshop to pay and also the insurance may say it was like that before the accident.
    A friend who knows about cars says it might cost me about £500 to get it fixed unless its the bushels (which means nothing to me!)

    I dont know then. Sounds a bit strange. Is it worth mentioning when you do your renewal then. They should make it much easier to contact the TC dept.

    Car shop are taking the car in on Monday and hopefully they will sort it out. It really sounds awful when driving it, worse than before, like everythings knocking and I can sometimes feel it below my feet.

    Have been to the tip again and also a car full of charity stuff with the kids toys. I could have done a car boot I suppose but I just couldnt be bothered with it and they would only be pennies anyway. People want something for nothing these days (even me :D)
    So kids rooms are almost done apart from hole filling and paint touchups grrr.

    Will be doing my room today and possibly making a start on the kitchen (been putting that one off) but looking at my front room its almost like gone round full circle and I will have to start again :mad:
    I know its just a case of retidying but I know its going to be hard to keep on top of it all in every blooming room. I nag enough at the kids as it is, will be even more so now!!

    Will then crack on with the garden next week hopefully. Its lovely seeing the flowers come out. I love my roses. wish I had more. Tried to find out the name of the flowers I had in pots that flowered well on to October so it looked good for months and I think they were begonias with the wax like leaves.

    Oh someone give me an excuse not to start work again today :rotfl:
    I know I know, It has to be done if its what I really want.

    No not giving you any excuse :)

    Do an hour in the kitchen, tidy the living room (if already sorted it wont take that long), then attack your room

    Says me who needs to attack all the cupboards/drawers in my house

    I finished my room and I must say it looks loads better (and bigger lol) I have stopped and started all day. Did about an hour in the kitchen but not even started inside the cupboards or the cooker. And my understairs cupboard is a big mountain to climb!!
    I would say I am bout 80% done now. The garden is a biggie too.
    My sister is coming over tomorrow so wont get much done then and a friend is coming over in the evening but he is bringing his polyfilla lol and will be taking a few bags away to store in his garage. :D (but he doesnt know that yet haha)
    Am soo soo tired, I dont know how I am going to cope trying to keep on top of it all. I keep on at the kids every time they leave a wrapper on the side or a toy out when finished with it. I know the major tidy and declutter is done though. I hope its all worth it.

    It will be worth it in the end. I wish my house was a lot tidier and clutter free.
