That was "Truffles of the sea" . .yummy entree (I'm going to do it for Christmas dinner!)<BR/><BR/>Quickie, you've never owned a car? They're a necessity where we are unfortunately. Public transport isn't great. Yep he's fine.<BR/><BR/>Megan we drive very old cars so we only have full insurance on the Corolla which is 7 years old. The premiums for under 25 drivers are very high so our insurance is for damage to other vehicles or people, not our own cars. Frankly the repair costs more than the car is worth. Although after this, I think he'll be willing to stretch to cover his car.Bainohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14156193098088048637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34591549.post-3484247139778900552008-12-08T17:47:00.000+11:002008-12-08T17:47:00.000+11:00There's no insurance?There's no insurance?Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09387041422819664987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34591549.post-32900817283502473072008-12-08T15:21:00.000+11:002008-12-08T15:21:00.000+11:00never been in an car accident but then again I've ...never been in an car accident but then again I've never owned a car - only rented every now and then - glad he's okPaddy in BA (Quickroute)https://www.blogger.com/profile/12748161252400814925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34591549.post-25851314926862350022008-12-08T10:35:00.000+11:002008-12-08T10:35:00.000+11:00Apart from the prang you do have a good life baino...Apart from the prang you do have a good life baino - at least some of the time.

We're down to one working car so hopefully the Corolla will be fixed today and we can at least get him mobile and working!<BR/><BR/>Susan it'a an automatic neg driving charge if you run into the back of someone. And the scratchie didn't net me the $25 grand.<BR/><BR/>True Steph but it couldn't have come at a more unfortunate time financially. We'll manage some how we always do.<BR/><BR/>Ces, you're a bit down lately? Things can only get better I keep telling myself.<BR/><BR/>I know Wuffa, he only had Third Party Property insurance but because he's under 25 will have an $1100 excess and a $250 fine!<BR/><BR/>Yep Milady, shaken and a little stirred but otherwise OK<BR/><BR/>Thanks Melissa. He's such a safe driver but clearly didn't leave enough room between himself and the car in front. You've been through this recently I know.<BR/><BR/>Certainly hope so AV. At least it's given him the 'drive' to get more work on the landscaping side!<BR/><BR/>Yep, he won't lose his licence Gaye. Just all his saved up cash.<BR/>Lucky actually because he only recently came off his green P plates otherwise it would have been a cancellation and that would be devastating.Bainohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14156193098088048637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34591549.post-61539557965599933122008-12-08T00:09:00.000+11:002008-12-08T00:09:00.000+11:00xoxokjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15122196887043345981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34591549.post-45767140467434924892008-12-07T19:22:00.000+11:002008-12-07T19:22:00.000+11:00Sooo sorry to hear Adam had an accident but glad h...Sooo sorry to hear Adam had an accident but glad he is alright.
