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

A number of us have mentioned the state of the road beanie so do make sure your insurance company have the full picture. it is worth checkng local fb sites etc. Many councils find themselves picking up a bill due to road conditions and there may be people online in your area who have claimed.

Hope you have a calmer weekend and better days to come.

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. 

It is a motab car.
Thanks

Now Casualty is way too near to near the bone for me.
An echo of the past

Oh dear.  I haven't carried on watching it, beanie, it seemed like it went back to sequential soap opera stuff, and I'm not interested in that.  Are you okay, now it's near the knuckle again?

Hope you aren’t too shaken Beanie and I’m pleased you’re not badly hurt. Look after yourself. Will they provide you with a car which enables you to get about whilst they sort things out?  I don’t know - I miss a day or so and come back to see you’ve been playing dodgems😂. The state of the roads is disgusting though - potholes wherever you travel - it could have been so much worse.I’ve got to admit one of my 1st thought was would you be able to get a hoist in the next car for the scooter.....or a drive in from the back of the car and sit in your scooter. It might be worth asking for an assessment. My brother has just had a hoist fitted and gets a bit frustrated because he wants to hurry it up as it work quite slowly,  but it now means he can go out by himself (well he could if we were allowed to go anywhere) without having somebody pick the chair up and put it in the boot. He has lost a fair bit of boot space though. Hope things get sorted quickly and without hassle for you.
You are so close to being mortgage free now Beanie. I feel so pleased for you.

A very quiet day. 

Doing nothing apart from nothing & reading. 

I look hellish from lack of sleep.

Do you have any meds that will help you sleep? You've had a bad shock and things you're worried and unsure about.

Millans post sounds helpful re a hoist etc.

I've been watching Casualty since the first ever episode. A young Charlie Fairhead reporting for his first day.

I was looking forward to this new series. I could understand why the first episode was about the Pandemic as they try to keep up with current happenings but I found that pretty harrowing and also badly don.

Karmacat seems to be on the right track. I feel it's more like a soap than what was once a very good drama.

I was tired last night and the head was a bit foggy. I spent ages trying to figure out if the Dylan episode was a flashback as i was convinced I'd seen that before Then Ethan . ! remember his diagnosis a long time ago but to be honest I couldnt figure out what was going on. I've always liked both the Dylan and Ethan episodes and remember Dylan smuggling a child into the UK.

I suppose i lost my way when Connie came back. I found that unbelievable considering how she'd behaved.

I think I'm done with it now. I am sorry it was a bit close to home for you.

I wish a good outcome re the car. You must be going stir crazy and also worrying. Do keep the MF day in your mind, you've come such a long way and it is worth celebrating whatever else is going on.

Take care and stay warm

pollyx.
