security of a car,to take yourself home in this situation is a pure lifeline,not a luxury,I have often found myself in tears with mess running down my legs,soaked through,trying desperately to get to my car for sanctuary,please don't deny the OP her car.

Not having a go at you here, I am just struggling to understand why a car is essential when 'accidents' will happen even in the middle of doing the shopping, ie if you cannot get to a toilet in less than a minute you're stuck with mess.

I certainly think the car option is a modern day theory - after all what did they do when few people could afford cars?

It may sound terrible, but those adult 'nappies' are intended to spare embarrassment.

£100pm for the OP in car insurance and fuel alone, plus MOT, plus repairs, plus road tax. Is it not cheaper touse a friendly local taxi service instead?

Also have you approached your local primary care trust? Some do pick up patients for appointments - surely they would view your embarrassment as being needy of such service?

So what your saying is after having an accident in the supermarket she might as well think 'oh whats done is done, go and get the bus home or see if the taxi driver will let me in'. If you read the part you highlighted, she refers to the car as her "sanctuary". Just think if it was you, whether you wore 'adult nappies' or not, after having an episode like that, how would you want to get home? I know how I would...

Give the girl a break, she's 19 for God's sake!!



I'm right, you're wrong.


We do this, why do you do that?


We have X income, how do you have X income????


You can't possibly pay that amount, I pay X........




How the bloodyhell everyone knows everyone elses business around here is beyond me.

How do you know how much everyones bills are? There isn't a fixed price on billing the last time I checked, so why have a pop at someone for something you don't even know?!!

How do you know how much people should be spending on their shopping?

How do you know how bad someone is or isn't when they are ill???


I'm saying 'you' to nobody in particular, but if the cap fits....




Ladykhan, it's a scary world out there when you have to stand on your own 2 feet, hope you get yourself sorted soon enough! x
