Baby steps to mortgage freedom for beanielou.

If that shredder from Lidl isn't an option, the same one (6 sheets at a time, with a window so you can see how full it is) is on offer at Amazing for just under £10 more. About half the price they usually are. Here is a link.

So sorry to hear about your accident. You should definitely check if the pot hole has already been reported (we have a map for our local authority highways so you can zoom in to report accurately where problems are). If it has been reported already you are in a good position to claim against the Local Authority Insurance as they have a legal obligation (in England for sure) to fix within a certain period. Especially if you need extra physio as well as a new car. Time to consider an electric one?

Sorry to read about the bump, hope you are feeling ok this morning and not too stiff and sore. As Karmacat said be kind to yourself, it must have been such a shock.

Thanks.
I see the physio once a week as it is & I am not sure she would see me more than that.
I cant afford an electric one.
Maybe a hybrid.

Thanks for the shredder info.
That is currently on the back burner.

Having had a quick look at the Lidl one does look very similar to the Fellows one which is the one I had looked at previously.
£10 cheaper is quite a lot!!

Yes, it was shock.
Also a shock obviously to the people I ran into

Sorry to read about your car accident but glad to know you are ok.
Hope the raspberry gin did the trick.

Sorry about the accident.  Are you not eligible for a motability car?  It seems to be a good scheme, but I am unsure how it works.

I have a beautiful Scottish designer's 100% wool wooden scarf in lovely blues, gray & red.
If anyone would like it please PM me your address & I will pop it in the post.
Sadly I am allergic to wool.
Designer is Louise Wedderburn.

You are such a kind person.  Not sure a wooden scarf does much for the look though 😂😂😂
sorry, couldnt resist xx

Delurking to say that if you advise your insurance company about the state of the road, they may initiate a claim against the local authority.  At the end of the day and not being flippant, it’s only money. So glad everyone concerned was unhurt.  Maybe your next car will be better able to accommodate your scooter.
