Leaving it until the car is due to go back to the finance company and then deciding may be the way to go.

It will probably work out cheaper in the long run, although whether this would be ok with a Motability car idk.

It is Ivy, they have said as it is only cosmetic damage they will just note down the damage and it will be excluded at the end of the lease. I can have it repaired if it annoys me but it would go down as a claim and cost £100 excess.

I have no idea what to do, they seemed to think I should just live with it!

You are allowed 2 areas of damage at the end and still qualify for your £250 bonus

I find them too big to eat like that. With a teaspoon it takes 6-8 generous chunks. Size-for-size, a smallish muffin is larger than one of those pots that's, say, a "microwave pudding for one" where they sell at 2 for £1 or so. They're also less stodgy/dense, so a more enjoyable scoff.

One muffin is a dessert portion really.

I'm only 5'.

I've got visions of kylie minogue eating a muffin with a spoon,

But that means driving round in a bashed car all the time.

That has advantages. People with pristine cars give you more space, for example. And the damaged bit can't get much worse.

This seems a good opportunity to talk to your neighbour. Thank him/her for being so public spirited. Raise the question of the kids playing there.

Just tell them they did a better job than you could manage (if you've short arms) so well done. And hey, what about those kids?

No, I'm slogging over my Mandatory Reconsideration letter that I have to get posted by Thursday to make sure it arrives on 21st October. At least one point of Law involved over the "Moving around activity" - assessor said (and decision maker accepted) that because I can mobilise inside house I can walk more than 20 metres but less than 50 metres. In fact the walking has to be how you'd manage outside, including such things as kerbs, though not steps or steep slopes.

And worrying over all the med stuff that's going on. :eek: Provisionally diagnosed with Diverticulitis by St Thomas', made it to see GP on Wed. Had blood test for ovarian cancer, and prob have to go for colonoscopy to rule out other stuff. Phone call yesterday from Royal Hospital to say I'll have a telephone consultation with a nurse on Tuesday afternoon and then they'll decide what further tests I need.

Feel pretty permanently sick and gut pain, plus have lost 5 Kilo since around June I think. I'm not trying to lose weight, just feel grim and finding it difficult to eat due to feeling bloated and no appetite.

Very difficult doing the PIP MR stuff when I feel so ill most of the time. Can't get any extension for it either. Only 4% of claimants get award at MR, so will prob have to go to Tribunal. If have to do that will prob try and get professional help, as this is my only chance to retain ability to have Motability car in future.

Talking of Motablity, car has to be returned on or before 1st November.
