Could be worse - you could be paying £85 a month for Denplan cover Sad

That's for the family as we can't get an NHS dentist in our area.

That's really sad, after all they've been through and all the effort they've put in.
Crazy overheads and less footfall I guess. Sad

Certainly is. I'm a terrible sleeper but a friend took his life a few weeks ago due to years of M.E and insomnia.

WPMOT... East Sussex Council's solicitors have rejected my wheel claim as they say they have carried out their duty of care adequately, bullshit, they inspected the road one month before, noted the pothole yet did not cone it, or mark it. They have not heard the last from me Twisted Evil

Last night coming home from work the road was closed due to a "car fire".....apparently the people in the queue of traffic had been waiting about half an hour. So I decided to turn around and go the long way home, grumbling about my being inconvenienced.

This morning on my way in, I passed the scene of the "fire".....fcuk me!!!!! Probably the most horrific accident scene I have ever witnessed. It looks like a car had taken a left hander too fast, run wide and hit a tree on the opposite side of the road...I have no idea of the make or model of car as the whole thing was about half the length ot used to be, and the fire was so intense that there was nothing but bare metal left... no tyres, seats, window trim, glass, dashboard, steering wheel. Rumour has it there was a fatality Sad

The good part, I suppose, was that I stayed on late last night for about half an hour to have a drink with the staff. Had I not stayed on I would have been a lot closer to the scene of the accident....

Just one of those moments that makes you think fate is definitely on your side, at least for the time being
