Granny x
Indeedy, could have been far worse. Tiny low down sports car hiding in the blind spot of my high up car ! Thankfully she wasn't in the car and I had just dropped off the girls, but nonetheless I could have done without it.
The back of her car is nicely mashed up, how embarrassing. She took it well though, but I made a 80 year old mother cry as she had a bad week and it upset her. I felt terrible, so I bought her mum a bunch of flowers to try and Mae her feel better ! My car looks ok, hurt my back a bit, but am sure it will be fine.
It's just the next renewal quote in November I am now dreading ! Silly silly mrs Pinot xLBM July 2011 - Finally took control Nov 2011 DFD Sometime in the distant future ! :eek:

How nice of you to buy her mum flowers. Here's some for you too

Hope your back is ok and that the renewal isn't as bad as you think x

Thankyou everyone, noone one hurt. The lady I hit wasnt even in the car, thankfully.
I am still really angry with myself today ! :mad:
Is it ridiculously cold or is it just me ? I am desperate to put the heating on, but it seems wrong to do that in August ! We have bundled on the wooly jumpers and socks instead. I think its probably warmer outside than indoors today but we havent ventured out of the front door as yet.LBM July 2011 - Finally took control Nov 2011 DFD Sometime in the distant future ! :eek:

It's not just you, it's getting colder. Last night I was shivering in bed, had to get up to find an extra blanket and an incredibly un-sexy nightie
and the socks have come out.....
Sorry to hear about the car reversal, but glad you're okay and didn't hurt anyone. Hopefully, your back was just a tiny bit jarred and is better today.Total debt at October 2008: £67,213.30
