And here are the photos......

Finally went to the salvage yard on Wednesday to collect all of my stuff from the car,plus the damaged items for NRMA to sight so i can claim them back. It was sad to see my car all smashed up but we all have to move on and our new car will be exactly the same except for light blue! What has disappointed me the most is that NRMA have been very unhelpful with a number of things and just do not want to give us back our excess. even though rob was not at fault. they also said i had to collect all the broken glass from the car to claim the case of beer that was smashed in the accident how crazy is that!!!
Anyway these pics are of the crash that Rob's friend took.....

and these are at the salvage yard after the crash.


sad:(

Bad things happen in 3's...

Well 'they 'say bad things happen in 3's and boy were 'they' right!!
Firstly.......
1. on Thursday night my washing machine decided that it was not going to stop spinning at 7 Min's and lock all Zoe's new school uniform in itself! it took me over 3 hours of turning the machine on and off to reset it and FINALLY get washing out of the drum. so the repair man is visiting on Tuesday.
then on Friday morning....
2. I was driving from spotlight to got to Richmond and all of a sudden at the panthers round a bout i heard a scrapping. i though i would drive up the road to jax where i get the tyres and knew they did servicing as well. this scrapping sound did not sound good. when i got there i got out of the car only to find i had a flat tyre!! It did not pop or my steering wheel did not even shudder. so i thought the is will cost me. but when they checked it the valve had gone in the tyre and it was under warranty from them putting on the tyres a month ago. so it took a couple of hours to sort it all out but a pain all in all.
And top off the trifector.......
3. Rob rings me at 130 pm on Saturday to inform me he had been in a 6 car pile up on the M4 motorway and the car looks like it may be totalled. Lucky rob was not injured apart from a gash on his leg and a sore back and everyone in the other cars were not seriously injured either. but our car now has no boot! i will post pics when i get them. As we only have 1 car it has really been a issue for me. I rely on the car for work and getting Zoe around so no car......... i hate it!
But at least no one is hurt and that is the main thing. also rob was not at fault to the insurance is all OK too.
But how long till we get a car? who knows.

But as i said before ...bad things DO happen in 3's
