I’m so pissed off with it, I don’t enjoy driving it (apart from the comments) and I’m not sure what to do. Beginning to wish I’d never seen it and think I should have bought a Mk5. I’m having so much grief with my back, hips and elbow that I can’t do anything I want/need to do and capped it off last night when I ordered a KFC bucket for end of school holidays treat. Ordered and paid for a 14 piece bucket and 5 pieces delivered. No answer from the restaurant so Mrs W and I went without. Cunts. Fuck it! Christ, if a little paint blistering was all that was wrong with my car, I'd be laughing! Please fix the leaking garage roof, by the way. A damp garage is about the worst place one can keep a car...

Maybe you didn’t mean it to, but it came across as patronising and condescending., not to mention flippant. My “little paint blistering” issue, from the two paint shops I’ve discussed it with, would be north of £10k to resolve, with a full respray needed. To me, that’s not as trivial as you make it out to be. Damp garage being harmful? No shit! As I’m sure I’ve explained before, the roof is corrugated asbestos and interlaps with the neighbour’s garage. You can’t just do one roof and the neighbours interact or speak with no one. I have an awful lot going on at the moment without your unhelpful input I’m afraid. High Jetter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're not feeling the love for the car, spending shit loads on resprays etc does seem daft. But if you get some use out of it and fall in love with it again, then spending some brass on it would feel easier. The comment above stuck in my craw as well. Don't take it too serious. Sometimes stuff gets lost in text that sounds different in words. Unless it was written as meant. In which case I agree. jayroller and Wibble 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only meant what I said in the spirit of 'chin up, worse things happen at sea'; perhaps the humour didn't come through. The car looks in fabulous condition, and I hope a few paint issues won't detract, or indeed distract, from that. Perhaps I have a blunt style of writing and/or speaking. Regardless, there was no desire to insult, offend or otherwise seek conflict; I trust that evidence of that is provided by my interactions with others.

Wibble Posted Saturday at 23:56 Author Share Posted Saturday at 23:56 My journey north on Thursday was ok, dropped Wiblet senior at work at 8.30am and was at the hospital in Paisley by 3.30pm. Yes, he is now my new team member and doing well. It’s bloody cold in Renfrewshire now though and had to buy a new washing machine for mum today, as her’s has packed up. Install tomorrow, it’s in the back of the Superb and couldn’t face it tonight after hours at the hospital. Trying to get the message across that she needs to make some effort to get better and get home but not convinced she’s that willing to try🙁 Rust Collector, Snake Charmer, danthecapriman and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wibble Posted Sunday at 23:05 Author Share Posted Sunday at 23:05 Heading back to Basingstoke tomorrow, fingers crossed for a clear run 🤞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wibble Posted Monday at 22:43 Author Share Posted Monday at 22:43 Another 7 hour run, happy with that until I got a call from my sister as I passed Didcot on the A34. Mum’s taken a turn for the worse, can you turn around? Sorry, no, I can’t. I don’t have it in me to just turn around and drive another 7-8 hours back up. Fucks sake! Sister was panicking that mum has gone down hill since yesterday, when she was quite bright, hospital saying no need to panic. Fingers crossed, I’m fucking knackered 🙁 Rust Collector, JMotor, Snake Charmer and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wibble Posted Monday at 23:21 Author Share Posted Monday at 23:21 Thanks guys, iPhone doesn’t give me the option of thanks emoji to notifications. I just can’t believe I’m here again, barely 12 months since dad died, in the same hospital. I’m truly hoping for a different outcome this time and whilst I’m not the oldest, my sisters are now counting on me saying I’m now the head, as dad has gone and I’m the oldest male. I’m giving them all the support I can, which dad would want. Snake Charmer, cort1977, Rust Collector and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wibble Posted Tuesday at 19:39 Author Share Posted Tuesday at 19:39 Unfortunately mum has deteriorated further today and has just been taken for a scan. Two of my sisters are with her and it sounds like they’ve had an awful day.

Wibble Posted Wednesday at 00:48 Author Share Posted Wednesday at 00:48 And Mrs W has deteriorated too and has many hospital appointments scheduled.

Wibble Posted Wednesday at 20:53 Author Share Posted Wednesday at 20:53 Mum now has a DNR notice on her bed and a priest has been and spent time with her, which she will have been comforted by. She is just sleeping now and having morphine. They have t given up on her and are pumping antibiotic but we all have a very bad feeling about this. They've found a hole in her bowel, which has caused infection. This is sometime after having a camera exam, following which she started to decline. Coincidence? Last year, dad died in that hospital from sepsis, due to a tear in his bowel, following a camera exam. I cannot believe what is happening. Mrs W is sitting here crying, my two boys have gone silent and my sisters keep calling me in tears that this hospital have done it again.

High Jetter Posted Wednesday at 23:01 Share Posted Wednesday at 23:01 I doubt it's the hospital's fault. Very similar with my mum, died in 2017 in a care home. If morphine is given they have a good idea of the outcome, you need to prepare yourself m8. Here if you need to chat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re trying to prepare, I have a list of people to call tomorrow but I’m struggling to get my head around everything to be honest. Hospital says there is still hope and that’s what we’re praying for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really up for eating I’m afraid and I’ll call them from work, they’re her friends, so elderly and my call will panic them anyway, so don’t want to call early. Fortunately, work will be fine with me doing this. High Jetter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rust Collector Posted yesterday at 13:19 Share Posted yesterday at 13:19 I've just had a big catch up on this thread; I'm really sorry to hear of the awful time you and your family are having at present.

Wibble Posted 20 hours ago Author Share Posted 20 hours ago My youngest sister rang me from the hospital this morning in tears. They asked her to gather the family and were going to have mum moved to a private room as soon as possible. Shortly afterwards my elder sister rang to say she didn’t think it was imminent, so agreed I’d head back up Saturday. Thanks for everyone’s support, really appreciate it, just helps to share.
