Lyns, I can only imagine life without a car and how difficult it is with little ones too.

You're definitely on the home staight of the IVA and have everything in place to finish in a timely fashion.

I hope it's not too long until you can get yourself another car and make life a little easier. A good reliable runaround.

Life's hard enough at the moment, without the hassle of no car. I really feel for you, but that's not going to help you is it? Let's hope the powers that be at GT, really pull out all the stops on your behalf and can persuade creditors that enough is enough. I know it's really difficult but you are really on the home straight now, so if the F & F doesn't happen, I know you will get there. Looking forward it seems such a long long way ahead, but when you look back, time does actually pass quite quickly, so chin up girl, you've come this far.

Thank u, I just woke feeling totally fed up & down, I know we will get to the end because we've got this far. It's just typical to have something go horribly wrong in the last year! And it being the car again but in a spectacular scale this time has really got to us.

At least it's sunny again.

Rant all you like Lyns - we know you've had it hard. Hope you can get a car sorted soon and that GT can sort you out.

I was lucky enough to find a dealer who is a friend of a friend,so I trusted them more with my hard earned cash!!!

I dont even trust the main dealers!!! Sorry if any posters are car sales people!!!

I hope you get something sorted out soon Lyns.

I've bought my last few cars through a local dealer and I wouldn't go anywhere else now as their service is brilliant. One of the cars I bought from them had so many problems and they tried to get them sorted out but I'd had enough so they took it back and gave me £500 off a replacement - I couldn't recommend them enough.

Thank you Karol, I know it's really busy still at GT - I appreciate you taking the time to look into it.

Things are going from bad to worse, I think the seal on our fridge has gone, I could cry right now!

Oh no Lyns, sorry to hear about the fridge too..can it not be replaced rather than get a whole new fridge?
We've had to buy 6 new tyres for our 2 cars these last 2 weeks too...it never rains hey!! Fingers crossed things turn brighter for you! x
When you make a mistake, don't look back at it long...the past cannot be changed. It is the present and future that counts

Lyns it's not going your way is it?

A secondhand fridge maybe? With this weather we need one more than ever.

I've just had a great idea from a friend - in going to try those door locks to keep little ones out of fridges for now. The blooming thing just keeps on coming open and it's not the boys for once, unless we have a ghost!

Thank you Karol - we received a email today, because we are so close to finishing, we are going to give it some careful consideration.

You could think of Freecycle to get a better fridge.
