    Thanks Ames, have you seen this thread? http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=2012635

    thought you might be able to help, you're pretty good with these things.

    What did you smash your wing mirror on?

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    She was a lovely cat! We knew that her kidneys were on their way out and then yesterday morning she was just going from one litter tray to the other and behaving differently.
    They knew it was time.
    She did have a very good life and lots of love. :o

    Thanks Linda, I'll look at that thread, been asleep most of today and not up to date on things.

    I smashed the wing mirror on the wing mirror of another car, up on the main road we get cars parked on both sides, so if there's something coming the other way it's really tight. I've clipped it a few times, but this time it fell off and the glass is smashed. It's still ok and useable, but I'll have to get it fixed before I hand it back. That's not till next summer, but I want it sorting asap before it gets worse. Looks like I'll be getting the electric company to send me the £90 I'm in credit by, and wiping out my emergency fund. And putting the pressure on sister to repay some of what she owes me.
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.
