I dont want to drive anyway, i hate cars, i get bad travel sickness and i have never wanted a car.

I hate and detest being a passenger, and i get travel sick being one, but do not get sick when actually driving. I think it may be that the actual driving takes your mind off it as you are concentrating.

EA they don't credit check, i'm well in debt and have all kinds of defaults but they let me pay monthly.

I would try putting your mam on as a named driver, my quote one year was less cos i put my older ex OH on it.

I too suffer from horrendous travel sickness which is why I insist on driving everywhere as I'm fine when I drive! I tend tojust say it's cos everyone else is a crap driver though!

EA, have you tried looking for quotes as if you'd done Pass Plus too? I think that cost me £100 and reduced my car insurance by more than £200 (in 2005, mind!). My first insurance, just me, on a 2003 Fiesta was £750ish after the PP reduction Norwich Union used to do a 9mth policy which gave you a year's NCD (assuming no claims!) to help you build your NCD up quicker. That's what I had but not sure they do it anymore :cool:

Removed my rather Illegal advice! Oops!
Thanks to MFD who was rightly voted Minister of Transport when we went through the Elections

Aah, between me reading and replying you've changed your post! I keep telling OH this is highly illegal but if you do it where your parent is a named driver it isn't and can still bring your price down.

OH wants a classic vw beetle, some companies won't touch him because he's 'too old' to drive a classic car :mad: And some won't because he's too young for a classic policy :mad::mad: I officially hate car insurance!

In better news my pram brakes now work

eBay question:

I bought something (a zoggs swim ring) on Sat 19th June, 7pm. Paid straight away. I've had no communication and no item, on Sat 26th i sent an email asking when can i expect to receive it... No reply. Should i be more patient or open a dispute?


Also bought a bath seat Sun 20th, sent email on 26th and they replied 28th saying they'd had a flood so had to move premises. Taking the pee IMO, still could have emailed me.

I agree with this... My biggest concern was barfing in my own lap this afternoon but I was so busy concentrating I didn't even think about being sick...

Although I don't get travel sick as a rule... Just morning / afternoon / evening sick...
