About Me

My photo
I'm in my 30's, which to me sounds very odd. I only feel like I'm in my 20's and definitely not a grown up. I have spent the last 7 years battling with my health; firstly spending 2 years getting a diagnosis for a tumour on my pituitary gland which was causing Cushings Disease; then spending the rest of my life dealing with a pituitary gland that doesn't work. However, I have a fantastic family and an amazing boyfriend who I live with and adore - they keep me going and inspire me to try to make the most of life and my life in general.

The car is a write off....Lottie vs the insurance company

Gutted, my car is apparently a write off - the damage done by the chap who went into the back of me was a lotter greater than could be seen by eye. The whole back end has been crushed inside. So what happens next? The insurance company calls me to make me an offer of an amount they think is reasonable to get me a car of the same spec as the car I owned. This according to them was just £1600! I don't think so. Ok so it is quite an old car but it was in good condition, had four new tyres, a new gear box and had just been valeted! - All of that alone probably adds up to a good £1600. Also going onto Autotrader, trying to find a black 1.6 Privalege Clio of the same spec, even searching nationally is proving difficult. The insurance company found a 1.6 Clio but it is in Glasgow and is olive green with a brown interior! No wonder its going cheap! I don't know anyone who particularly wants a green car let alone an olive green one with a brown interior.... So alas its turning into a bit of a battle - me against the insurance company, let hope I win! Otherwise you may see me driving what I may have to call my new 'retro' car! Gaah!
