My money saving day!

As I'm skint I thought Id use my clubcard tokens for a cheap day out at Alton Towers (tickets are £32 each normally! :eek:) so only had petrol and food to pay for.
Anyway I'm going down the motorway when a tiny little stone jumps infront of my windscreen and chips it, so much for my cheap day out!
I'm hoping that the chip can be repaired as I really don't want to pay £50 to get it replaced. It's only 6 weeks since I got a new windscreen (another little stone!), I joked back then that it saved me cleaning it but now it's not quite so funny!:mad:

OH no - what a pain! But at least you had a nice time anyway? And you never know, might have happened anyway

Hope it's cheap.

Can you get it done free on insurance if its a chip? or do some insurances not cover it?

I must check my policy for stuff like that, its not happened to me YET.

To make you feel better, Gems, I had the same thing happen to me a few years ago. I was hit with a stone thrown up by the driver in front of me and to be honest it looked like the kind of damage a bullet would cause. So I pretended to be driving around in a Robert de Niro-type film. I f you are full comp can your insurance cover it or are you limited to a maximum number of claims per annum?

had a good day myself. Got the loan of a season ticket for the match then my mother gave me £10 from her winnings on the lottery last week!!! Tried a lucky dip on the lottery to pass on my good fortune- not so lucky

Well just been on the phone about getting my windscreen fixed and fingers crossed it can be repaired (just watch between now and wednesday when the guy comes to sort it the tiny chip will be a great big crack!) so I won't have to pay

*** Doh!!*** posted this before reading the last post heh

Cheer up could be worse, like my grandad. He was driving down a road and stopped to let a farmer cross with a herd of cows. One cow decided he liked the look of my grandads car and sat on the bonnet hehe. Cost £1000 to fix . Not funny because of the cost but the image of my grandad staring out of his windscreen while a cow takes a seat on his bonnet cracks me up everytime. Hopefully your insurance should be able to fix it for free if it's only a small chip

Yor poor grandad! I hate cows they scare me I once had a bull charge at my car, luckily I reversed out of the way and it jumped into a field but it really shook me up!
