Wow - 8 pages already!!?? I shall read it all later - just wanted to post my good news! Halifax have refunded £3500 worth of bank charges AND OH has got his bonus of £12000! (before tax) so that's at least 1 more credit card paid off and a sizeable chunk of another. WOO-HOOO!!! More money to throw at remaining debt to get ourselves debt-free!

Lots and lots of snow here today - at least 3 - 4inches worth. OH tried to go to work....carefully....he was slip-sliding all the way out of the road. Front wheel doing normal revolutions, back wheel doing 1000revs per second! 3/4hour later he's back trying to get into the drive. Car park at station is full, despite there being less cars in there - they've all parked haphazardly because a)they can't see the white lines and b)they are sliding rather than parking.
50 minutes after attempt 1 to get onto the drive, he's finally in the garage. Had to clear the snow from the drive & road outside and eventually I had to sit in the boot and bounce to enable the car to get enough traction to float gracefully on the snow.

Have taken LO to the park where she loved crunching snow under her boots and making footprints. The local children have built 7 snowmen on the green and we had to go and say Hello to every one of them! She also liked the warm milk that I gave her when we came back in.

Anyway, Daughter's upstairs asleep and OH is working, so suppose I'd better think about tea....

Hope everyone's had a good day....



Stuff it, I think I'll read the thread instead of thinking about tea!

Hi all :hello:

I'd just got off the bus and was waiting to cross the road, there were some boys having a snowball fight opposite me, one stepped out on to the road to throw snow at the bus and didn't notice a car coming towards him The car hit him - and he landed on the pavement crying for his mum :sad: Luckily the car was going quite slow. A man turned up a couple of minutes later, said he was an ambulance technician so he helped while we waited for the boy's mum. I reckon his arm is broken, probably his leg too :sad: I gave the car's passenger my address and phone number in case they need witness statements (I don't know how it all works - do they need witnesses?), the driver was helping with the boy. She was really calm and doing well, as soon as there were other people there to help she moved away a bit and burst into tears :sad: The boy has gone off in an ambulance, hope he's ok.

Oh tru, poor little fella, saying that they do go silly at times when it snows, hope he's ok of course, and the driver as sure it can shake you up a bit when you hit a child. Are you ok Tru, I know when I seen a car accident it shook me up!

MushyPeas

((((tru)))) Poor you and the boy! Scary thing to witness x

tru

Yeah, I'm fine ta

I was on my home from work, thinking about what to eat cos I was starving, haven't eaten since 5.30 this morning :rolleyes: But now I've completely lost my appetite

tru - how distressing for you,the boy and I also really feel for his parents. Did anyone call the police? I think I've read somewhere that an accident has to be reported if someone is hurt.

tru

I don't know. The passenger rang the ambulance and made a couple of other quick calls too, I don't know who to though. It didn't occur to me to ring them, I'd imagine they'd know though, from the call to the ambulance?
