Poor Car

This is a photo of our car after our accident. We've found out this week it's a right off poor old car. At least we are both okay that is the main thing. Paul had a sprained neck and I've got a few bruises on me where the seat belt was and on my left arm as that was my side the car rolled down the ditch on so I must have given it a good bang when we stopped.

Thank goodness we've got gap insurance out on it when we took the car on as we had a year left to pay on it. Hopefully it will all be okay so fingers crossed.

Everyone's been really kind and thoughtful at the moment, the internet is a god send for food shopping too.

So not loads of crafting done at the moment. It's taken us a week to sort a few things out and for us to stop feeling really still and not sleeping very well as each time we rolled over it hurt.

Will hopefully start crafting away again this next week as Paul's on nights in the Guard Room this next week for 7 night he started last night.

Thanks again to everyone for the kind words.

Car Accident

On Sunday night on the way home from one of Paul's Auntie's we had a car accident. The car skidded on the road and we ended up on our side in the ditch. I couldn't get out so Paul managed to get out and go to the house across the road and ask them to phone for an ambulance etc and ask for help. The Son came across and another car stopped and somehow I managed to stand up and the boys rocked the car and opened the back door and Paul moved one of the back seats and I somehow got out through the back door with help from Paul and these two boys (well young men). They helped me to the other side of the road. Legs very shaky and the family got a chair for me and a glass of water. I have to say I don't know what we'd have done without them and there are lovely nice helpful young people out there. I couldn't thank them enough. The ambulance guy's were amazing and they let me stay in the ambulance until Paul's Auntie arrived which the kind family let Paul use their phone to call her.

The car is a right off we think but we were luck to walk away and were told by a lot of people that we weren't the first people to have an accident there and they are sure we won't be the last. So now we wait for the Insurance Company's Assessor to look at it and get back to us. We're very sore and still still and a few bruises but very luck to be here. Someone was on our side that night.

Happy Christmas

Hi

Hope your all okay and looking forward to Christmas. We've both had cold/cough in the last couple of days. Before that we dashed over to Hull to see my family which was lovely. I also managed to get to see a friend who I went to School with and now lives in America. She came home for Christmas and we've been trying to catch each other for a few years now. She's also married an American and I finally got to meet him this time too. He was really nice and they both seem really happy wish is the main thing so we chatted like we only saw each other yesterday.

I just wanted to wish you all a Happy Christmas and a Happy New Year. I hope 2012 is a prosperous and peaceful New Year for you all.

I'm looking forward to all the new and exciting crafting goodies that are coming our way.

Hello

Hi

Sorry I've not been around for a while. My father in law kindly took us to the NEC for the day and we stayed over at their house the night before and left Hannah there as their cousin across the road came and let her out for us. So we had a nice time there. After coming home though on the Monday night for some reason we don't know why I became really poorly and had a bad stomach bug it sounds almost as if I'd eaten something I shouldn't have. I was bad for a few days and what made it worse was I couldn't eat anything and keep it down so I couldn't take my back tablets and was in agony. Paul ended up calling the doctors and getting some anti sickness tablets just so that I could at least take some paracetamol which helped a bit.

Then after getting over that we ended up having no phone line for 5 days so no internet either. Neither of us realised how much we used the internet. Don't know what happened they never did tell us what happened just problems on the line the usual thing.

Now we have no heating!!! we realised on Friday night that the radiators have gone cold. So we phoned Modern Housing Solutions who arranged for someone to come over who turned up at 10.00 pm. He couldn't fix it and said the unit has gone US. We phoned again on Saturday to be told we had to phone in again on Monday morning and put it in as a new job. Then on Monday when we phoned in we again to be told it would be the 5th December before someone can come. They left us with two rubbish heaters and that's it. Not a happy bunny. We went to the Hive who told us to complain which we did today and someone is supposed to be phoning me in the morning but the house is freezing.

Sorry for the long post and the rant.

Hope your all okay.

Blog Candy Win and new card

Hi

I'm so excited I've actually won some blog candy, from the lovely Di from Pixie's Crafty Workshop of a heart shaped nestabilities. I love them they are brill. I will do a card and add it to my blog.

I wasn't on line much last week as I had a stomach and sickness bug and it knocked me for six. Back to normal now thankfully.

Thought I'd add a card I've done from one of the My Craft Studio cd's. I coloured the image in with my promarkers.

Paul is in London tonight taking some photo's at a charity event to raise money for Row2recovery which guys are rowing the atlantic in December (go for it guys).

Hope you all have a good week.

Hugs
