So I crashed the Motability car...

I'm fine, as are the two out of my three kids that were with me at the time. An old whiplash injury from ten years ago is a bit tender but i've had it checked and it's nothing serious.

I really can't fault Motability, they were fantastic. I called up and told RAC Motability I was on my own with two autistic kids, they quoted me thirty minutes til their low loader would get to me and calmed me down on the phone. EIGHT MINUTES later there he was.
He was really friendly, kept telling me these things happen and at least we're all ok.

Recovered us home because my eldest wasn't coping with the situation very well. Helped me strap the kids in, chatting to us all the time.

Phoned the insurance, RSA Motability and they couldn't have been nicer either, even when I admitted it was completely my fault. We have a hire car being sent out tomorrow morning, and my car is being taken for repairs tomorrow afternoon. It's completely undriveable as the radiator got punctured.

I feel soo bad for the other parties involved but they were so nice to me. It was literally a split second lapse in concentration.

Oh no Glitter Sad glad Motability were so good though, the main thing is that you are all ok ((hugs)).

You poor thing :( Glad you and the DC are ok though.

Having had two crashes this year, I can tell you you will feel shitty for a few days, but you do need to get back in a car before you talk yourself out of it.

I'm soooo sore today.
Have an appointment with my osteopath next week, fingers crossed he can crack me back into shape.
Keep taking the paracetamol and ibuprofen.
