**** day

[orinoco]

On the way to work this morning, i was stuck in traffic on the A1. I came to a stop, leaving a good gap between myself and the car in front of me. Then I heard a bang and i was moving towards the car infront. So my car is now 1\" shorter than it was yesterday
I\'m now aching from the middle of my back upover. I also have a nasty feeling that my car is going to be classed as a write off.
So i have no car and i have to go to washington to start my shifts, this is going to be a crap week!

[Davyred]

Thats unlucky mate. I heard it was bad on the A1 this morning.

[IanW]

What a sh@te way to start the week

Can you get a courtesy car on the insurance???

Hope your back gets better soon.

[orinoco]

If my car can be repared then i can get a courtesy car, but if the car is a write off then i dont think that i can get one. And where i work from in washington is nowhere near a bus stop or the metro. My back will be worse tomorrow but after that it should get better soon, have started some tablets to keep me happy ish

[SIXFOOTSTEVE]

What time do you go to Washington mate ,I\'m going down the A1 from Dunston at around 6am and back around 4pm ,you\'re welcome to a lift if this helps ( don\'t know where you\'re from )

[orinoco]

Thanks for the offer mate, i live at cramlington, but i also work 12hr shifts at 3 different start times!

Bad news m8, would it be worth picking up a run about at the auctions? I heard two blokes in the pub talkng the other day, one said he saw an N reg vectra go for £80

[SIXFOOTSTEVE]

Oh well mate ,hard lines today ,hope things work out .

[willywetegg]

Bad luck mate, hope you get sorted soon.

Get your self to one of those claim companys and the hospital mate.
I didn\'t and was a fool,you are suffering pain and may lose money.
Let the insurer pay.

[orinoco]

I\'ve had a repair estimate of at least £2500 to fix the car! Just need to see if the insurance company will give this the go ahead or scrap it!

[Charlie_Thompson]

If you haven\'t been to the doc yet, get someone to whack you on the back of the neck a few times with a wet towel, it really brings back the symptoms.

[orinoco]

Lol, cheers Charlie
No need to go to the doc\'s i\'ve self diagnosed, seen whiplash many times. One problem i\'ve got now is i\'m finding it difficult to look after my 5 month old daughter due to my back pains

[alan]

Bad luck mate
you\'ll need medical records if you are putting a claim in

[Oblickta]

Hope ur feeling better tonight and got the car thing sorted
