Awww thanks. I am just going now, its so nice to hear from you also. Have you all changed your names? I am seeing Lisa and Julie and I am thinking youre swansgirl, right?
I am not too bad, I have done the washing and vacuumed and put some washing out (its been sleeted on, who cares?). Made the beds to a fashion, pulled them over as my Mother would say. I cant quite do the dishwasher that bit between bending and standing is a bit oouchy.
Oh and by the way, I am still not smoking, its been seven months now.
I am not quite sure what to make of what they are saying about my car. I had a clutch fitted in 2008 and they said if the clutch has failed then its under warranty, however, if I have been driving it wrong and the clutch is worn out then its my fault. Hmmmm...I have been driving around for more than twenty years now and have had only one new clutch, can you knacker a clutch in 19 months? They also need the paper work which I cant quite locate, I think its with the car. If I could stand on some step ladders and get the folders down I could take a peek in the boxes but I am not up to it. I know I will have kept the paper work, even if I havent the money will be on the bank statements from that time, I keep everything. They are still waiting on confirmation about whats wrong with it. I dont usually worry about these things as you cant change them. It doesnt look like we will be going away next week. Never mind, everthing happens for the best.... right?
Hey right back. I hope youre doing OK also. You say the nicest things, blushing here, so I am.
I am getting my car back today fixed, 300 pounds of my contigency gone, some sort of flange gear box issue. That makes the London trip in half term impossible. Hey, maybe I shall give the kids a paintbrush and get them painting the outside loo and shed, then burn the front fence we took down. My kids love bon fires. Might warm the planet up a bit.
I have sacked college this morning, I cant sit in class, cant sit anywhere.
Who fitted the new clutch last time round?? hey shouldnt be failing that quickly,and dont let them fob you off by blaming your driving style.
Not sure it would have more than a 12 month warranty though so fingers crossed for you.
Hope your bum is better soon!!

Discharged today the 8th feb 2012. View is much brighter now.
Continuing to rebuild our credit worthiness.
What a shame you've packed in college - you were doing so well!
Glad the car will be sorted, sorry it's taking so much money though.

I think there is some confusion here Jan. I havent packed in college. I couldnt attend yesterday as botty is a bit sore and I didnt have a car. The problem was it was an important day, our portfolio's were due to be sorted and it was the last day of contact for our mentees'. I have emailed my tutor.
The car was £450 for gear box and brakes,(the MOT garage pointed this out last week). My contigency is gone but I have a car. It felt lovely to drive yesterday, gear changes were beautiful, I have been crunching and finding get 1st and 2nd difficult for a good while. One problem is the brakes are a bit rubbish, they said no heavy braking for a month, errr a chance would be a fine thing. I drove it around the back streets before hitting the main roads. I didnt like the brakes so I took it back. They said its normal for new brakes to be spongy. I asked for the old bits so I could check them out with a mechanic I know and they agreed to this.
Thanks so much for all of the replies to this, I have book marked the lease company. Its fantastic to have another option.
Botty feels a little bit easier today, my toe isnt though its black. Was going to go to A and E with it but the snow is back.
Love to all.

Sorry, when you said you had sacked college I thought you had packed it in! Apologies for that!
Hubby says that it is usual for you to take it easy for a while with new brakes as they have to bed themselves in.
Glad your bum is a bit better and hope the toe improves soon.

Thats what my friend says too about the brakes, I dont them though, I am used to touching the brake and the car stopping. I have to learn to brake that little bit early.
Please dont appologise, its just my way of saying things. I sacked the idea of going to college yesterday. I was going to get a taxi but botty was too sore and I couldnt imagine sitting there and walking around the place all day with my bruises.
