Feb 06 - ......Meh.

[Phoenix]

I have spent nearly an hour this afternoon, and 3 different calls trying to sort mine out
Am so peed off- they take your CC details in case there is any damage while you're 'hiring' the replacement vehicle. It doesn't come with a car seat, so now I have to go and buy one of those, despite my insurance co telling me it would
They can't tell me how long it will take to repair, or when they'll come to inspect my car, and bring the replacement
If I cancel them, there is a charge (though I checked about being in labour!- not applicable)
Oh- and if I'm not going to be using the car- I have to tell them? FFS- why? What if I have a C-section again, and can't drive? That's my fault is it?

I am so fecked off with it- at 39 weeks, I now have to source a car seat- let alone getting rid of the old one, because I really wanted to be driving to the tip at the moment- I have nothing else to do, do I?

The repair will probably take so long that I won't be able to trade in my car at end of Feb- I am so angry about this. It is going to cost me a fortune.

Sorry for the rant, I am just so stressed., and I am really grumpy today, before all this car crap.

Tis all shit. It is bad enough without that whole impending deadline with no exact date thing

EPPM. Did you sort something out eventually?

Can I share my car insurance woes?

DP was rearended last month, but as we can't afford to pay the excess we have to wait for the other driver to admit liability...I had dp having a go at me because we haven't got our courtesy car sorted. The man just doesn't listen when I explain things.

This week, he parked his van without using the handbrake and it rolled into another car causing damage, so now he has 2 claims in the space of a month. I dread to think what next years insurance will be.

And why am I the one dealing with it all, not dp???

(That is really my problem, as so far the insurance bit has been easy, tbh)

Frizbe....Is dd2 going to share with dd1, and give you an extra room spare, or go into dd1s old room?

Argh for you Jas

Can I just grr at my mum for a min? yes, I cry easily, I always have tis just my release mechanism and no matter what I have tried, I cannot stop it. She doesn't, she sees it as a pull yourself together attitude she has and not a nature thing. But she always makes out if I cry then there is nothing wrong it is just me "crying again". Sometimes I don't need to be reminded that I cry too much, sometimes I just need a hug.

Why is he expecting you to deal with it? Honestly.

They have said they are coming to inspect my vehicle on friday morning, so things are at least moving- though that doesn't mean they'll be taking it then

Thanks for the hug- really need it!

Jas- I thought if someone went into the back of you it automatically is their fault? So hopefully it should be the 1 claim... though of course, they always put your premium up loads

Goodness knows what is wrong with DD- she obviously has the grumps too- has spent the last 1/2 hour wailing in bed 'Mummeeee, mummeeee, Daddyyyy, Dadddyyyyy' and then stops and giggles the second you go in

On a more positive note... I can see the bottom of the ironing basket There is only 1 thing left in there!
On monday morning... the pile was over 3 feet high -erk
I have been taking out my frustration on clothes
There were things in there from July when we came back from holiday! I found a pair of trousers we had forgotten DH had- which is good news as he is running out of trousers (has a weird thing where he always goes through them on the bum, for some reason )

Flame- x-post. A big hug back at you- I actually was in tears when I posted my rant earlier too.

Sometimes it's better to get it out!

I found shorts at the bottom of our wash basket last week

Oh- I do the washing.... I just never seem to get round to the ironing!

We actually have light in the kitchen now, as the pile was infront of the window LOL!

I don't iron

Awww ladies lots of {{{{BIG HUGS}}}} for you guys, your all having horrible car claiming times Why are insurance co's such arses about paying out, when they're always happy to take the money off us eh?

EPPM for ironing, am ignoring mine at the moment, will do tomorrow night. Dh here tends to go through things at the top of the thigh?

Jas, dd2 is having dd1's old room, so they're on opposite sides of the house and fingers x'd less chance of keeping each other awake.(who am I kidding?)

Flame {{{extra hug}}} cause your mum's being stupid and you have a bad back/whiplash and are feeling pap.

EPPM Honestly....Because he is incompetent and will never learn to do things because deep down I am a control freak
He also has no patience waiting in queues on the phone and issues with form filling.

Aaah, Frizbe. Yes that makes sense now.

I don't iron either
It is very liberating and if you fold/hang things up 90%of it doesn't look unironed once it is on.

I also cry over everthing/nothing....only since I had children though.

My eyes water at everything, so people think that I'm crying even if I'm not really.

I still have a weird silky dress in the wash basket from when dd was a few weeks old . I think it needs handwashing, and we have managed to avoid it each of the handful of times that we have done handwashing since.

Sympathies re all the car troubles.
Can I add a moan re dd too? Yesterday she smeared poo all over 2 bathrooms, the landing and my bedroom. Today she pooed on the bathroom floor 'because I wanted to' (this was after already weeing in her knickers tights an hour or so earlier), and then came downstairs and was washing her very pooey bottom with her hand, and getting poo in the sink and pooey water on the floor. She has also been very difficult at bedtimes, and keeps getting back up again. And just about every time she speaks to me it's either to order me to do something, scream that she wants either a lolly or boo-boo, or just to whine generally. Dh is away (poss part of the problem) so I've had to deal with all this myself, on top of the velcro baby.

Oh CSWS- poo has to be worse than car trouble I don't have to clean my car before they'll fix it... I hope

I suppose it's just her reaction to the adjustments she has to make for DS's arrival.

Jas- I haven't been ironing stuff for past month/6 weeks at all- it just gets hung, folded, put away... that stuff was from way before now!

I am really not someone who cries much (except over stupid films ) so I think this is my hormones gearing up for the big push, as it were.

Aaaarrrgggghhhh! She just said that she needed a wee, ignored me when I told her to stay downstairs and have it, then didn't come straight back in the time I'd expect, so I went up to check on her to be greeted by her standing in the entrance to our ensuite saying 'I've got poo on my fingers'! Guess I got there in the nick of time. Thankfully she had at least pooed in the toilet. She is trying to wipe her own bottom with random amounts of toilet roll, and it's all going horribly wrong.

Sympathies csws. that is much worse than any car problems.

Obviously moaning on here has helped....Other driver has admitted liability in Decembers incident, so we can get our car fixed/written off (parts are so expensive for it, they may not be willing to repair it even though the damage is fairly small)

Jas- Great news- glad its finally starting to be sorted.
(what kind of car is it if things are so expensive?)

CSWS- dd is pretty naff at bum wiping too- but (so far!!!!) would never dream of smearing- she would be too freaked out by getting poo on her hand. I think bum wiping is just really hard for them at this age tbh... unless we want them to use half a loo roll each time, which then leads to blackage problems....

At least you've got yours out of nappies, ds still won't entertain the idea and insists he's a baby still

But for the poo smearing.

for your car stuff Flame and EPPM

for 1 of your car probs been sorted Jas.

Poo I can sympathise with. Car stuff all goes in one ear and out the othre, sorry

Went to docs today. As a aseondary query while ther, I asked him bout my tummy. Apparently I have strong abs, but.. uppers npt knitted vack together after the sections so I've got like an ab crater there.Nothing can be done, exercise or surgery-wise, except just keep exercising andd see if it ever sorts itself out He also agreed I need plastic surgery for my tummy skin, but no chance on nhs. See, I told you all I need this tuck. no one believed me. But I was right.

hang on, to be fair to us, you have never said it was for skin - you always made it sound like a weight loss lypo tuck combo! I was wondering about your tummy and c-section issues this morning actually. Oh, and Psycho has looked at the pics (your thread, not THE pics) and was stunned and didn't recognise you!

Argh for all your poo issues CSWS - I think poo issues are my most hated child related thing

Yay for liability stuff

Erm, prob forgotten lots.

Had my physio assessment today, she says tis from my bra up that is needing the main work, the rest is tight but that is where the injury is. By the looks I braced myself on the wheel and arched backwards rather than the normal going forwards thing with whiplash

Its fat and skin.

Sure she wasnt lookin at the wrong photos, and looking at friend not me?

I will hit you if you carry on like this! Yes, she could tell the difference between you and friend (especially as she saw friend solo first )

you don't have to register now

Ypour arms arent long enough to hit me from there.
