    Im teatering on the fence pap but keep saying over and over that I can control this...mind certainly isn't racing as much but guess im scared that I might end up like I was last night which was quite frankly awful

    Chocolates consumed and now food has been delivered im going to have a pimms winter :)

    Oh and looking for a new car has perked me up a bit...like you Ames, have been given the money but I don't like to use Mums savings so once OH gets his bike money I shall pay her back

    Aww bless you Sally. I am sure you will be fine but I know right now you dont feel that way. Take small steps. You arn't going to wake up tomorrow right as rain so take each situation and each hour at a time. I think once christmas is over with and you can relax you will be in a better frame of mind :D Keep going and post any problems etc on here, a problem shared and all that....

    Ohhh what car are you looking for Sally? Anything nice? I wonder if BB has a car yet? I hope her OH problems have been resolved either way... Miss her :A

    :rotfl: actually Sally, wasnt too bad....nicked a parking space first thing and wandered round the shops. They weren't too bad and got most things except I can't think what to get MIL and FIL for crimbo and I couldn't get a couple of things for Lils from Boots....

    Didn't help that I had the shakes from last nights sloe gin and port combination!!!!

    Had my nails done as a treat picked my DS up and went back home...got here about four thirty. Post office left a card for a left parcel so off to post office to get it and then went into Boots here. One more pressie....ignored the wrapping paper as I thought I will go to Redditch, its open till 8 and get my last few bits..

    Set off down the dual carriageway, it starts snowing and by the time I get five miles down the road I am stuck! So I turn round and drive home....at five miles an hour, car slip sliding all over, cars crashing all over the place and emergency vehicles crawling past with the blue lights flashing. I have sore arms from gripping the steering wheel so much.

    So I am a couple of pressies short and have no wrapping paper. We have decided to go up to Liverpool tomorrow first thing and hopefully get last few bits there....

    Not stressed about it tbh...I have most things and I would just rather get to Liverpool in one piece than worry about wrapping paper...

    Sammy, sounds like you've had a nightmare day, hair of the dog works wonders you know.

    Sally, nice car, my first one was a peugeot and I loved it, it hardly needed any work either even though it was 12 years old. I'm thinking about getting a 207 next, but it depends what offers are on.
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.

    Oh God Sammy sounds like a nightmare...how scary. Think if we are going to start getting snow every year again people are going to have to invest in snow chains for their wheels lol!

    Or there is this one, although in Edinburgh and would have to drive it back...but for this price would be worth it

    Just checked the value and Glass's/Parkers value it at 4k

    Can anyone remember where there are review/common problems with certain makes and models
