I've just been thinking you had two other drivers and then police . Witnesses to the road condition so that may help.Concentrate on upcoming MF and remember we witnessed positive change this week. Such a normal looking family walking up the mall, smiling and waving. No bling to be seen. I was reminded of Neil Diamond's Forever in blue jeans when I saw the new POTUS wearing his jeans . Such a contrast to someone organising his own 21 gun salute and flying away to "I did it my way!"I don't know if you saw Bruce Springsteen singing " Land of Hope and Dreams" He wrote that a long time ago but it was so right and brought a tear to my eye.pollyxIt is better to light a single candle than to curse the darkness.

Thanks everyone.
Still a bit shocked but I am ok.
Just shows how much you need insurance.
The bill for this will be thousands.

No towering spiky heels . They just looked nice from the oldest to the tiniest. You can't fake that, you could see the love.pollyx

Oh beanie! Just read about your accident
I'm so sorry. A little raspberry gin will certainly help, and a nice hot shower/bath. Be kind to yourself - shock is shock
