    hey rich hows the phone world doing?..not had much chance to catch up with you recently you gonna try for the meet if we can arrange a good date?...it would be great if i got more than £5k i would be debt free apart from the mortgage and the wee stupid debts ..infact that would make my day ..the problem i think i might have is the guy that hit me is insured with the same company so i doubt they will want to pay out much ...my accident was may last year and they are dragging their heels something rotten...but i think i will go to bed tonight and dream that i get that (just for a while i can dream cant i )

    thanks mrs a ...well last night i popped over to the os board and found a thread on growing stuff ...got a t.v programme recommended so i did that thing that you can do on telewest ( i'm having a brain f&rt cant remember what it is called) and copied it ...then looked at a site for seeds and picked the ones i would love to get came to just over £30 but i dont need anywhere near that amount so i was a good dfw and didnt buy i just held my dream list on file and will go back and check it out when i've came to my senses lol...then i looked for the book that accompanies the programme but never bought that either ( i dont have the money for either so i dont know who i was trying to kid lol) it doesnt come out till feb and if i get it it will be from the library...had a nsd day and will have one tomorrow too....forgot to mention i did 5 hours ot today also so that's a bit more money at the end of march ...feeling more positive today hope you all are doing great

  • Hey Elan!

    Might be worth your while contacting one of those no fee lawyers that deal with accidents if you feel your insurance company arent doing the best by you.

    I work weekends so looks like I cant make a meet would have been good though.

    Loving the new job!

    Hope you feel better rant away we're hear to listen!
