Save youself £150

Well just my luck, bad weather, bad news, no money! So after spending far to much over Christmas, am still trying to finanical balance again. This awful weather and a rushed morning ment that to save me time i deiced my car to deice my car with some boiling water, my windscreen had a tiny chip on it, which with the adding of hot water its turned into a massive crack. Now if i had repaired the chip it would have cost upto £50 and i had to pay £200 to replace the whole screen. I found this site regarding road safety: http://www.cornhilldirectroadsafety.co.uk has some useful information on windscreen care, its definatly worth a look if you don't want to be forking out £200 for something that could have been avoided! Has a good competition on there as well which is worht entering could get yourself a sat nav.

  • It may have caused you money in the short term but us Brits have a great ability to laugh at ourselves so it will give you a useful small talk anecdote for the future :)
