Thanks Uzzi, sorry not been in contact, I am exhausted!

'New' car is in for new cam belt and MOT today, had a service last week so after all that it should be ok for the next year if o.h. is careful! It is almost like driving our old one but needs a good clean inside, the people who had it for the past two years never had it serviced, or cleaned out, it was full of empty crisp bags and sweet wrappers when we went to look at it. He did just about manage to take the rubbish out before we picked it up but I want the seats steam cleaned before I will wear anything decent in there. I wiped the inside of the windscreen the other day when it got all steamy and the white cloth I used came away black, maybe they smoked, I don't know but it was filthy and streaky so not clear to see out of.

No more luck on the lottery so far!

Son's job is going ok altho I think getting up for work every day is proving hard after so long lol, luckily his gf's little lad is awake early for school so no chance of my boy oversleeping!

Good news that your son has been successful in finding a new job. A big relief for you Liz. About time some good luck headed your way. Fingers crossed for the lottery tonight. Keep your chin up now. xx

Thanks Kandj, no luck on last night's or Friday's lotteries, but got my tickets for next week.

Car is ok, with service and mot and purchase, it's cost about the same amount as o.h. got from the insurance, so we are hoping that it lasts for a year or so now, with next mot end Nov 2014.

Little lad of my son's gf is having his diabetes pump fitted Monday so will have to have two weeks off school while his body adjusts and they learn what to do with it. If it means a more normal kind of life for him then it will be great.

Oh and because Morethan mucked o.h. about the other week, by first losing the paperwork re old car so not letting us knowabout write off sooner, and also passed him from pillar to post while trying to sort out new insurance, they sent a hamper to say sorry. I looked it up on the hamper site and it's worth £20, has different flavoured muffins in and some small jams and marmalades and tea and coffee too, as well as a little teddy. All in a nice basket, it's the Special Breakfast hamper. With o.h. being diabetic, guess who got most of the goodies lol

Good for you Liz.
I hope you enjoyed your little treat and that the thoughtful gesture helped to cheer you up after the incompetence of your o.h. insurance company.

I really do hope that your son's gf's little boy will cope well with the diabetic pump and this will help him to be more like his school friends afterwards.
