Sorry to hear about your Auntie Den, hope she makes a full recovery.
My moan, 14 weeks now since Xray showed I'd cracked a bone in my spine, still aching whenever I try to do the least little thing. :( |

I have just answered the door to two very official-looking gentlemen holding a large brown envelope and a warning sticker on there jacket saying video and audio asking for Mrs xxxx. I said next door (nasty neighbour)
Then I said I think you have forgotten something and they looked at me with great confusion and then I said your van is parked is parked on private ground could you please remove it. This does annoy myself and my other 3 neighbours who own this service road and maintains it between us as when a vehicle is parked here it blocks all our driveways especially the other 3 households were not so bad. I usually don't say anything and leave this to my other neighbour but today I made a exception just because of who they were visiting as this will really annoy her that they came to my door. Although I do wonder what the old girl has been up to now. I know she is having problems with the her neighbour on the other side as he came to our door a few weeks ago asking if she did this us and the answer was Oh yes. Since the men has visited she has been very verbal on the phone shouting at some poor sod who has had the misfortune of answering her call. In regards to people parking on our service road, I mean is it really that hard not to see that parking here will block not only one driveway but 3 others not to mention that it's clearly private property. Here is a picture from my living room window. |
Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
Had similar over the weekend. Workmen working next door parked their Transit half way across my drive for no apparent reason other than being lazy, inconsiderate morons. There was plenty of room to park without blocking me in but idiots like this just don't give a toss about anyone else.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
The trouble with me Osem I feel bad asking them to move whereas hubby has no problem at all as he just shouts hey mate you can't park there, same as next door her hubby also has no problem at all asking someone to move.
My neighbour and I have been known to say each other I hope it gets moved before we need to go out, or we phone through to each other and ask how long it's been parked there then we moan about it, yet we still usually do nothing LOL |

Returning items to Amazon seems to have become such a chore. It's not ideal when the cowboy "lifestyle" courier firm they use can't be bothered turning up to collect the package then lies about you not being home.
Maybe the horse took them to the wrong house. Yeeeehaw! |

@ Osem yes I took that offer and also cancelled within the trial period. I found it quite good service tbh, everything we ordered did arrive the next day but I just could not justify the cost for our needs tbh. Bank Of Scotland internet banking seems to be down atm. I'm on the phone to them as I type been currently waiting so far just over 15 minutes. Internet banking is good but when it's down it sure is a real pain. |

The reason I'm returning this item is because it should have had three separate components but Amazon logistics (whoever they are on any given day of the week) only delivered one of them. It's not even Christmas yet. If they can't manage to fulfil a simple delivery now God only knows how bad it's going to be in a couple of weeks time. They really have gone down the pan. |

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
Den has your Auntie got family around/near her that will be able to help her when she gets out of hospital? Also remember and get someone to contact the council/social work for any aids and services that your Aunt may require or need or even better speak to the hospital and see if they can arrange this when the time comes for your Auntie getting home.
I wish I had knew about the help that was available at the start of my late Mother's illness and to be honest I still struggle with the fact that my poor Mum could have many of the services and help that she so clearly needed from day one instead of struggling for so long, example we purchased a stair lift only to find out that the council would have provided this service for my Mother. I suppose it's the same old same old if you know the system then it's easy. I'm still to this day at a loss as why these services are not more advertised to those that truly need it. Take care den :hugs: |

To keep continuing to try and cause someone harm, sadness and interfere in there life via a 3rd party is just so totally wrong in my book, especially when that 3rd party is a complete idiot and couldn't see the truth or facts if they were slapped across the face with them.
In all honestly I do not know who to pity the most or even if they actually deserve my pity at all. |
Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
Not a good day yesterday had a bump in my car and what makes this worse is it was totally my fault :( although my eldest has given me lecture that I should never have admitted this.
First ever accident in 29 years of driving and I think I handled it quite well as the lady was naturally very annoyed that I ran into her hubby's Jaguar and kept saying he was going to be really angry with her. I just said look no one seems to be hurt, please go and check your children as I have checked mine then we can discuss matters in which we did. I just feel like such an idiot and tbh I really did not get a good sleep last night and this morning I was very wary driving so I guess I'm a bit shook up with it all. I have protected no claims so that is fine but I'm dreading how much this will bump up my insurance next year and could I go to another insurer if it's a massive amount. |

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
There really was no point denying it heero as it was totally my fault. At the end of the day it was I who pulled out of a junction, and as far I'm aware she was not speeding.
The way I see it is I quickly defused a very unfortunate situation as I suspect by admitting fault she became more at ease as I suspect things could have escalated by the way she got out her car as her voice was slightly raised and I can understand that but at the end of the day it's only a car and no one was hurt and imo that was the most important thing, saying that one can only hope that she does not try and claim whip lash as this really would be silly on her part giving the speed that our cars collided. On a plus side I can confirm that my auto braking works although naturally I would have much preferred not to have fond this out. At the moment my insurance is arranging for my car to be booked into Mitchell Inglis in Glasgow in where they will come and pick my car up and deliver back once the repairs are complete, also my insurance has also arranged for me to have a car from Enterprise Car Rental. I must say I'm really impressed with the whole process of my claim so far, as I have never claimed before and I really did not know what to expect. @ Nash thank you |
Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
It can be really straight forward weenie. Glad to hear you are OK.
I know that you shouldn't admit liability but not doing so when there could be no other explanation is hard. Be very upfront with your insurers, and I am sure that they will not penalise you for just being honest. A guy drove straight into the back of us when we were stopped at traffic lights. He too admitted liability and we were surprised by how quickly the claim was resolved by his insurers, I guess because there no counter arguments to delay things. You Have no claims discount but if your insurance is a lot higher next year then stand by to gasp out loud when you see the results of quotes from other insures. :( |

Does anyone know if my insurance will replace the plastic bumper as I'm being told by some family members that they won't replace it because it just has a few scrapes but what they will do more than likely is do a respray + fix/replace where needed therefore surely that means they will replace the black plastic bumper due to the deep scores that is now on it, plus it's plastic how would they go about fixing that without replacing it :confused:
Surely they will replace this as my car was immaculate before I decided to have a crash, what I thought would happen is any damage as a result of the accident would be repaired or is that not the case advice please as I don't want to keep phoning my insurance company as I do get quite nervous and I don't want to ask hubby as he is currently on the road driving. To be honest with everyone, I'm really hoping that they will replace the bumper as it was damaged in the crash. I'm really down at the moment and kicking myself for not concentrating. I just want my car back to what it was before the crash, here is photos that was taken just after my accident. Any advice would be TRULY appreciated... |
Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
Everything should get fixed, it is up to them how it is done, but it should look like new.

If it's done well I doubt you'll be able to tell a repair has been done. ;) |
Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
If the plastic bumper is holed or cracked it will be only viable to replace it with a new bumper.
|
Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
I bit the bullet and phoned them and I'm quite happy with what they have said basically any damage that occurred during the accident will be fixed and my car should look once again like new.
That has settled my mind now the only thing is they cannot guarantee that my car will be back for our couple of days away on Sunday the 3rd but will do there best, if not we will just take the hire car or hubby's. Thanks everyone who replied. |

I think I may have been worrying about nothing today my car got picked up and just received a text message saying Good afternoon Mrs xxxxx. Just a quick update to advise we have a bumper and arch moulding ordered for your vehicle and we will in touch with timescales when they arrive. Kind regards Mitchell inglis.
Hopefully we will get the car back for us going away on Sunday as there is no way I could travel any length of time in the hired car that my insurance company has arranged nor do I fancy traveling in hubby's car either. |
Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
I have a feeling that you may be a tad optimistic on getting the car back that quickly. I had a wing mirror housing replaced and that took over a week.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
End of the second day without a boiler (condenser).
British Gas boiler engineer came out this morning (pleased with the speedy response), investigated, and believed it was an electrical fault. He called Despatch, and asked for an engineer, and was given a date of 21st December - he was very good, and convinced Despatch to escalate, and they got an on-call (not BG) electrician who has just left. It’s (apparently) not an electrical problem, but an issue with the pump in the airing cupboard upstairs, which needs a heating engineer (apparently different from a boiler engineer) - he’s called it in, and I should be getting a call in the morning informing me what happens next... Luckily we have a gas fire in the lounge, and an immersion heater we can use for hot water. Here’s hoping for a speedy resolution to this issue. |
Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
Quote:
Mine is circa 1979, has never broken down (touch wood !). Forget BG Hugh, they will just say they don't have the parts, and try and flog you another boiler. Get a local independent trader to have a look, nothing lost. A pump should be simple to replace. |
Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
I have a Service Agreement, which covers all costs (including replacement).
tbf, the boiler is 10 years old and it’s the first problem we’ve had with it ( we did get it fitted by a local independent, just use BG for the Service Agreement) and it’s probably the pump in the airing cupboard, which is 33 years old... |

The M25 J27/M11 J6.
Yesterday my 25 minute journey home became 2.5 hours of hell. A crash on the M25 backed traffic 3 miles past M11 J7 which is six miles away. traffic on the roundabout just ignored red light and blocked people trying to leave the motorway. Then the back road I could have taken was closed, so I had to do an additional 10 miles to get home going away from my home. Don't get me started on the last second lane jumpers. |

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
Thank you Dave the trouble I'm having is horrid bitter taste in my mouth when I wake up, I'm experiencing choking and being sick when eating, heart burn and pains in my chest area.
On Friday I was sent to my local ENT department in where they put a tube thing up my nose and down my throat in where it came back that my throat is very narrow and has lots of inflammation, I suspect this is why my GP has requested sedation. I must say I was shocked when my GP called me this morning as I did not expect her to get Friday's results so quickly. |
