wuvvum Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Not had the best evening ever tbh. Got in from work about 9pm, went into the bathroom and the light switch broke. So I need a new light switch, and the breakers on the fuse box aren't labelled so I have no idea which circuit the bathroom light is on - so I'm going to have to switch off the electric to the whole house to avoid zapping myself. Then I broke one of the arms off my glasses, and whilst trying (unsuccessfully) to butcher a pair of Poundland sunglasses to borrow an arm off those, I stabbed myself in the thumb with a screwdriver. I have (had) a spare pair of glasses somewhere, in a maroon case - do you think I can find the bastard things when I actually need them? FFS.

paulplom Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 In a massive fit of not fucking concentrating my current girlfriend has managed to write off my volvo against my van while pulling away from parked behind it. She has her own policy on the volvo luckily. I've owned it for 10 years or so and I love it to bits. We've been all over the county caravaning with it as well as trips abroad. I'm gutted.A mate with a body shop has quoted me £450 if I buy the door to repair it. I'm hoping the insurance company will let me buy it back though. Not bothered in the least about the van although I still want it fixed. Sent from my SM-G975F using Tapatalk BorniteIdentity 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoctorRetro Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Fucking Insurance! 1998 Ford Galaxy 2.0 with 7 seats and Cat C or D (Can't remember which) = £38 per month. 2000 Nissan Almera 1.5..........................................................................................................= £41 per month Go figure.

If so, depending on how many months you have left, the Almera IS cheaper to insure. I always get stung the £25 or whatever - even when it's an online change and you have paperless settings. Needless to say swapping cars every 5 minutes can never end up saving you money. Lacquer Peel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Along the lines of 'your annual premium has reduced by £50 so that'll be £75 extra for the change and the remianing 3 months of cover....'. An interesting* exchange of views took place.

Across the year, it is a couple of quid more expensive apparently, but obviously exacerbated by the admin fee. Just surprised it was about the same yearly premium for both cars.

vulgalour Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 The house move saga continues. The house my other half is currently renting and which I'd started to move my stuff into is now, presumably, being sold by the landlord so it needs to be vacated by the end of August. Super! That means faffing about trying to find another rental property suitable at short notice and a hit to the savings for both of us when we could do without it. We're trying to be positive about it and hoping we can find somewhere at least with flatter off-road parking and maybe even a bit more internal space. myglaren 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
