Our car got rear-ended last week, resulting in minimal damage to the bumper (other guy, who was at fault, came off worse), but as our car is v old and worth less than a bag of Tesco Value peanuts, it is probably a write-off. Dh was driving and was at first convinced that all would be well, but after me pointing out rather forcefully the fact that we cannot afford to buy a car at the moment, he is now less chirpy. The car is off to be MoT'd tomorrow and we will then find out if the bumper absolutely has to be replaced or whether we can just continue to drive the car until bits start dropping off it. Depends whether structural integrity has been compromised, I assume. We have just had to pay a large amount for a new boiler, have the annual fees for the accountant to pay etc etc and simply do not have the money for a new-to-us motor.
Hope dd has a splendid time interrailing, Beachy.
BD, keeping everything crossed for you that all runs smoothly for the next 11 days.
Rose, hope the reading goes well.
And good luck at the doc's, BTM.
I finally managed one day back on only over-the-counter meds yesterday. First day since Feb.
I am currently embroiled in what dh is referring to as a "soap opera" regarding a possible job. Visited a (very lovely) school, was hugely impressed, really liked the person who showed me round and was generally terrified by the job spec, because it is very full-time and the expectations are pretty high. And it's a big secondary, not an itsy-bitsy primary and it's a 40-min cross-country commute. So I agonised all that evening. Took the dog on a 3-hour walk and cried so much the dog sat down and refused to carry on until I shut up. Then came back and wrote an email saying 'lovely school, lovely job, but I'm not up to it, sorry for wasting your time'. Next day, I get an email back, saying that the person is 'devastated' I'm not applying and can we talk. Upshot of the convo was that I have put in an application, but obvs have no idea of what comes next, as despite all the encouragement from the key person I clearly still have to go through the normal selection process and who knows how my slightly odd track record will go down. However, I have to say it is encouraging that I can make such a positive impression. Just wish I could manage to make that kind of positive impression on myself. 
Meanwhile, I have a job app in at another school that is much closer, but the job is much more lowly, although apparently there is room for negotiation because of my qualifications. It is part-time and would enable me to do the post-grad thing I've been accepted for.
But I'm currently waking at 4am every day because I'm very anxious about it all..
