Phoned the AA, got all the way through and my bank card had been blocked by m&s so I said never mind i'll pay by Amex, no they don't take it!! So I had to get off phone, ring m&s who blocked it thinking it may be fraudulent use and while he says I hope your day improves someone pulled out and went straight into my car. Phoned AA back who prioritised me because I had been hit, bloke came out jumped my car a couple of times and then followed me half way home. Missed my physio appt, blood pressure bit high now on phone to insurance, 16 minutes on hold so far.... and breathe!

oh goodness me, this is what happens if you hang around this thread with me, days turn into weird and less than wonderful misadventures and nothing will ever go to plan...
I was just coming here to tell you about my day but I think everyone needs to make tea first to recover from your day ...“Create all the happiness you are able to create; remove all the misery you are able to remove. Every day will allow you, --will invite you to add something to the pleasure of others, --or to diminish something of their pains.”0 -
38 minutes on hold before I spoke to them, they will pursue it for my £300 excess, but he gave me to other cars insurance details and number and I called them, other driver had already contacted them and admitted to it, so that a relief and my bumper will be fixed on the 6th
and no excess to have to pay from my very empty purse!!! Need to stock up on some meat over the next week - which reminds me - did anyone see an article in the sun about a woman who spends £65 a month on food to feed 5, apparently she uses 400g mince to make 15 meals - she obviously isn't making spag bol!! there is 6 of us and I need 1kg-1250g for us !! maybe we are pigs! 0 -

It beats working for a living and saving up ...
I may try it too, rather than spending all my time earning it
