    Very scary! Take it easy - we get shaken up by stuff like that even if we don't realise at the time. I'm glad you're not in hospital or something, tho.

    Ouch - sorry to hear about the shoulder Elantan - not to mention the car costs....
    Glad you're not too badly hurt - but could there be a bit of compo in it? Everyone is at it - so why not....
    Take care, Mac x

    hey all well shoulder is still sore but not as bad as it was...havnt been on as i had to hand in a paper the other day so had to get that all written up (and with this shoulder it takes time)

    ...i cant claim anyone mac girl this time it was deff my fault ...i couldnt see the wall in my side mirror (it isnt a huge wall so it was below my line of vision) which i found quite scary ...what if it was a young child and i hadnt seen it ...ok it wasnt thankfully ...but it did point out i have a blind spot on the mirror so i will have to be aware of that..we have a friend coming tomorrow to have a look at it and tell us how much it will cost

    nothing much happened finance wise ...and havnt been up to anything fun at all to be honest ...it is nice and quiet for a change in my life ...so i am enjoying the peace and quiet while it lasts lol

    hope you are all well

    Glad to hear you're okay. I'm aiming for a quiet day myself - got very cold yesterday, I was out for a long time, I have a few emails to send, and my accounts to do if I get bored (!!!)

    That is scary. It's always been one of my worries that a small child is behind the car *shudder*.
    Hope the car is not too expensive to repair and that your shoulder is on the mend soon. :)
