Thank you. That's a great result! I need to have a proper look around as a lot of them don't cover (or charge more for) older vehicles which DH's is, and mine was until now. Plus DH's motorbike is covered by the current one as well.Spendywendywoo said:Ah super news re Little jwil's arm, glad you're feeling a bit better, well done on your PAD too!

Working today and I'm not feeling it, but it's nice not having to do school runs so I can get stuck in. There's several depressing emails to deal with in my inbox which isn't great.
I've been having some strange dreams recently and my sleeping is still out of kilter from the clock change. It doesn't normally affect me like this, so I am very tired. Though last night might have been influenced by watching the first episode of Welcome to Derry (a prequel to IT)
