Wedding Forum - GENERAL CHINWAG THREAD w/c 5th October 2015...

Awww noooo- I bet there will be someone to swap- there might be someone that wants a late shift so they can see kids open presents etc and spend day with them :-)

I sat down today too and agreed my teams Xmas leave- I've managed to give most people what they want and my boss has let me have the who,e 2 weeks off :-) he feels sorry for me as my dad lives in Scotland, 500 miles away from me so between him and another manager they are happy to cover- yahoooooooo

That's terrible gf especially when you have kids :(

Another day from hell in my world. Received a call from my step dad which I never do shortly after my little sister had text asking if I was home so I said yes why and then asked if I could drive (had I had my painkillers) so I said I could and she said oh can you pick me up from town -- I thought this was a bit odd but anyhow .. I wasn't ready so I sent oh .. Literally 5 mins later I had a call off dad asking if I'd spoken to mum so I was like no why and he said well she's had a car crash and suddenly I felt sick after it hadn't been 3 months since mine! He told me she was on her way to hospital and could I go straight there and he'd be back from work about 30 minutes away asap so I rang my sister and said you could have told me why you wanted picking up!? And she basically replied with sh*t mums had an accident the cars a mess at the bottom of the road so she had no idea other than when they neared mums house and saw the carnage.

She's got a broken rib so only pain relief but was meant to be doing the Yorkshire marathon on Sunday which she's trained really hard for so she's really angry!

Cars a total write off only thing I can say is it's a good job there was no front seat passenger else they'd be lucky to be alive!

Not totally happy with the way the police handled the accident.. They haven't done any collision investigation despite two witnesses saying the car that hit mum was flying way over the 30mph speed limit. Mum is 100% adamant she checked both ways before crossing the main road and both directions were clear and she was watching a car on the opposite side of the road waiting to come out the junction and turn right. She's crossed the first side of the road absolutely fine and the front bumper of our car must've pracrically been on our street when the other idiot has literally plowed straight into the front passenger wheel and door of mums car ... Going off my specialist knowledge I estimate the other car was doing at least 40-50mph based on damage to both vehicles and the fact mums cars been pushed 10 metres down the road Upon impact. It's clear the other driver made no attempt to stop or swerve to avoid mum even though she would have had ample time to anticipate and see mum had pulled out.

Her insurance basically told me they'll probably have to admit liability because the car that hit her was on the major road and only then if solid proof that the other driver was speeding could some blame be accounted to her - so angry! What idiot sees another car pull out and just thinks sod it I'll just keep driving straight into her- I'm convinced they must have been doing something else in that car!! I'm going to ensure the Ecu chip is removed from the car that hit her and have it analysed for last recorded speed which will be the speed at impact which will prove how much over the limit she was going!! Even if the claim was settled as bilateral fault fair enough but for it to be classed as all my mums fault when a car has driven directly into the side of her car and saw what was coming is ridiculous. The front bumper and wing of mums car is all in tact too proving the other car had ample time to react to the vehicle crossing the carriage way... I swear I'm going to pack in driving for all the ignorant idiots on the roads!

Awww soo sorry to hear your news-at least your mum is ok though - possessions are just material objects- sounds like a flamin Ho. Driving though- let's hope the Ecu shows something up or a witness comes forward and matches the account that the other car was in excess of speed limit! Xx

Surely the police should listen to 2 witnesses? If not ask for another officer to take over the investigationA it's not right that your mum should be penalised- I get that if you are going from a minor to major road it is your responsibility but not if a car on major road exceeds the limit! Hope your mum makes a speedy recovery and it all gets resolved xx

Hope your mum is ok, my friends daughter got hit by a car today as a pedestrian. She's got head injuries and a bad chest but apparently doing ok. I heard about it earlier as the road was shut off as it happened outside the hospital, but did not realise I knew the girl. She is the same age as my older boys

Morning all. So did not want to get out of bed. The alarm went off and I carried on laying there until 7am, and could have carried on to be honest. Oh well.

Lots to do this morning household wise. Laundry, hoovering, tidying and getting a dinner sorted for tonight as am working on my annual leave.

Morning ladies, I couldn't get out of bed today and have come down with a cold and can't shift this sore throat! Didn't end up going into town last night so going tonight instead!

Morning all,
sorry to hear about the accident Becci. At least shes ok x

its not too bad here. sun is shining and its warmish.

Dinner last night was lovely. we went into town to M1ller & C@rt3rs. Only downside was that I didn't expect to be bumping into my new CEO, European manager and Plant director. Eeek. Luckily were sitting a little away from them so was ok.

Then went up to the Cube and had coctails :)

Ahhh sounds lovely Emily.

Oh no Flossie, hope he is not too bad.

He said he's come over shaky and went really pale. I think he just fancied a day on the sofa personally... haha. He made me sew the button back on his trousers this morning too which meant I had no time for breakfast, might as well not have bothered!

Not sure if he had breakfast or not, he gets up before me.

How dark is it getting in the mornings now?! Could not believe my alarm was going off this morning when it looked like it should be about 4/5am, not 7!!!

Was already starting to get dark when I left work yesterday too, sooo depressing!!!

I don't remember going home yesterday. I just remember getting there to find by flossie poorley again

I realised haha! It always confuses me for a second when you mention her but then I remember haha xx

Hope your Flossie is better soon Emily

Lovely Pic PP xx
