Oh no Beanie ☹️ Thank goodness no one was hurt. Surely the local council should be held to some sort of blame for the pothole though, not really your fault for the state of the road. Why is there always something 😩I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)5

I know Scottish offers are sometimes different to English ones but the England magazine has a shredder for £24.99 from Jan. 31st.

Oh I'm so sorry to hear about your bump. Very glad no one was injured. Shame about your car

Sorry to hear about your bump , and that no one was injured .Life is an adventure, never stop exploring.6

Sorry about the car situation. So so happy you are ok tho, I mean I know you are shaken but thank God you are safe. x
Also I agree with SA and think the council must be responsible for having such a !!!!!! road. When I take Mum for her blood test the craters on the road to the car park in frankly terrifying. You have to drive on the other side of the road to avoid them. And I don't always remember.
Mortgage free on the horizon how fantastic. XXX Nevertheless she persisted.6 -
That must have been really scary Beanie, I hope you're taking it easy tonight.
Ooh so close to being MF Beanie, a virtual orange smartie & gin party sounds like a good idea from Sunshine_girl2. 👏Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.

Glad you're ok beanie if shaken and stirred. There have been quite a lot of council settlements here in the NW of England due to lack of maintainance of roads and many potholes. It's worth reporting the fact your car is a write off , you may get compensation.Could be worth having a look online to see if there is some local info on the subject.Meanwhile MF is in sight so remember how well you've done.despite various ups and downs.Take carepollyxIt is better to light a single candle than to curse the darkness.
There but for fortune go you and I.5
