Ooops! MINI accident!

[Mrs Dobby]

Sorry Mr D, I'm ok in the car, thats not the problem, just feel really fed up, work is gettign harder and harder, no staff, pressures to cut spending, lack of customers and such like, feel all worn ut and want to do nothing but sit down. Didnt enjoy going to another branch to help out with their stocktake, just wanted to come home and ......

Must be a bit depressed, the accident really shook me up, not sure that I want to stay with my job, just want to cut loose from work, want to be with you, as always, but really down n fed up, and no, its not your fault, youre the one thing in my life thats worthwhile, I love you more than I can say in words, just wish we could afford to give up work, grow our own, spend more time out and about in nature and take some serious me time out!

Sounds like a general Halfords malaise there Mrs D. Madmax has it and so does Aranthos and I have heard it is rife in the local store. I know at least 3 of the staff are looking for other work.

Hope you feel more cheery soon - I am sure getting MINI back will help (when is that due to happen?)

[jacob marley]

I was going to suggest the same, HF. It's actually illegal to leave mud on the road - one poor farmer was made to clean our road last year after similar accidents near the entrance to his field, including a bus carrying kiddies, which skidded straight out at a junction into a busy road. All those signs saying 'mud on road' don't mean diddly squat.

Hope you're ok, Mrs D.

All the sign means when you see one saying beware mud on road is that some lazy farmer has commited an offence and is to idle to clean up his mess jacob marley

Glad your ok.Sorry but can't say the same for Mini

[shirlthegirl43]

Glad your ok.Sorry but can't say the same for Mini

Come on now Cloud, would be a boring old world if we all had the same taste in cars

[yoanbob]

Oh Mrs D you poor thing, glad your ok, dont worry, minis recover quicker than Humans shell be back before you know it.

go to your doctors, tell him your still shook up and feeling depressed and get a week or two off, spend the time looking at job ads and thinking about what you would rather do.

be good to yourself

[Mrs Dobby]

Feeling much better now thanks folks, started to come out of it last Wednesday, and almost back to my normal fed up self! lol!

Good news is MINI is going to be alright, insurance are paying up (£2800) and she will be home in about a week or two, fortunately I have Protected NCD!

Pleased you're O.K!(And Mini!!!)Take Care!x

[Cloud]

Just think with that money you could buy a proper Mini!

[Mrs Dobby]

Well, finally MINI is now home and safe, all repaired and shiney! Cant say just how happy I am to have her back, tis like putting on your favourite comfortable clothes, or meeting an old friend, really feels right!

Sorry Suzanne, I have only just seen this thread - I was in England and didn't have much of an internet where we were staying. Glad to hear that you're OK now and that you have your car back. Does she have a name btw?

[scarey55]

... just wish we could afford to give up work, grow our own, spend more time out and about in nature and take some serious me time out!

OK peeps, do you think that if we all think hard enough we could organise a lottery win for the Dobby's

[shirlthegirl43]

Blimey, I thought you had her back ages ago!!!

Glad to read you are feeling better too.

[Mrs Dobby]

Lol Scarey55! Yep, she's calle Jasmin (JAZZY - MINI)! Lol!

A lottery win would be fab, then we could set up the small holding, and have grapes over anytime, plus I know a couple of friends (fellow grapes) would just love to join us on a small holding!

[scarey55]

OK, I'll see what I can do.
