Some good news for a change

Hey everyone,

As some of you know I had a car crash last week, and was very worried about the financial implications of my £495 excess. Well today I got the news the other driver has stuck to what he said at the scene and has accepted full respnsibility! Whilst it wasn't really desputible this is still a huge relief! So bottle of bucks fizz for me tonight! :beer:

Hope everyone is ok, and maybe it's gonna be a week for us all to get some good news!

    Thats good news. Even though I was hit from behind, it was still a relief when the other driver's insurance company rang me and confirmed they would be taking responsibility.

    That's quite true.......bloke who knocked my mum down last December has said she just walked right out in front of the car.....the fact that the injury and the angle it was caused at would have meant him being up on the pavement when it happened...:mad:
