    Big hugs Ellidee. But no need to stay away from us. Maybe we can help in a silly sort of way.

    Are you coming to bunny's party? we should drink a toast to your wonderful sister in law.

    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.

    I know Beanie...I think I am going to phone up man I bought it from and say that I am not happy with the on going problems and what is he going to do about it. Im going to take it into the garage and explain what I think the problem is and get them to give me an honest opinion. I seriously think the engine is !!!!ed and if it is I want it sorted while its still under warranty
    I'll make a wish, take a chance, make a change And breakaway. I'll take a risk, take a chance, make a change and breakaway ....

    I would have loved to come to Bunny's party - but sadly with the situation we never know when we will have to go down to Cornwall. :(

    I'm rubbish at saying things Elli in times like this (sorry:o) but you know I'm thinking of you xxx

    Sal........ask advice on the motoring board and see if you can reject it as not fit for purpose.

    This is the kind of thing I'll be panicking about when I start driving my new car and have to give the hire one back :(

    It's cold tonight - feet are freezing.
    Went to see my niece earlier. Can't believe she's 17. She had her first driving lesson at 1 minute past midnight this morning.
