ARGH!!!What a night from hell
31 Answers
9pm Hubby tells me he has a bargain of a win on ebay that hes desperate to pick up. Daughter hyper and winding the dog up like crazy,dog being a good boy sits and takes it (despite us telling her numerous times to leave him alone).
So I say yeah why the hell not?? Its half an hour down the motorway so not that far and we can pop and see my sister.
So off we go pootling along, dogs in bed at home, get onto the severn bridge and the car overheats. We thought we had cured this problem with a headgaskett fix, so pull off the motorway under a fly over to take a quick look. Hubby suspect air lock but we dont get far into the engine when a cop pulls up behind us. Said cop tells us to get to the services, which to be fare are not far. So we set off again but dont get very far and break down compleatly,big bang the whole shabang on a motorway BRIDGE! On the M49 and hubby cannot remember our AA membership number let alone the AAs number, we though, had broken down close to an SOS phone. Ad,being Ad didnt want to use it so I grabbed his reflective jacket and used the phone,legs scratched to ribbons by thistles along the way. Spent the next half an hour stood on the the side of the motorway singing with my toddler, getting hubby to versus of if your happy and you know it (kick the car).AA took us to Gordano services, and sent for another guy to come tinker (mi, our toddler, was super excited at the big truck ride). So off we decamped to find coffee and food, mi getting a choccy coin from the lady in starbucks. By now its just after midnight, Ad goes to see the AA guy who declares Dora dead and we have no recover to home on our policy! Stuck you cry no! Hubby phoned his insurance and turns out he has breakdown to home on there get in my son! However, the recovery truck had no lights so we had to wait for him to fix that. By this point mis had a bi of cake three bob builder rides a game of hide and seek and a comic she was loving it. By 2am we were all tired and fed up, but just as we were heading back out to the truck our knight in flu resent armour came and diagnosed straight away a piston has snapped in the engine head. Mi climbed into the truck after Dora had been loaded and fell straight to sleep. Got home, unloaded Dora and no battery power to even get her into a sensible parking position, so shes now on charge in the hope someone can move her today.
Sorry for long post just super peeved!!

FGT our friends have an old BMW and AA insurance and they get everything done they are very happy with their deal, as we are with RAC we thought we were offered a similar deal at approx £130 and took it but they welched on everything we claimed for until last time I really get peed off and contacted Daily Express crusader guess what RAC went to Citreon garage a second time to "re asses" my claim and said yes they would pay, by then we only had a week left on the deal and certainly did not renew.
