Been on the road all day to return home and find some fool had damaged my car

Mickyboy · 17th January 2019, 20:37

Been on the road since early morning, to return home and find some f00l has crashed into my neighbours car that has subsequently been forced into mine, wife didn’t want to ring me up whilst driving so only found out when returning home, apparently the chap was drink driving and breathalised at the scene then put in the police car.

And to top it off my daughter had a seizure.
Not a great day, feeling a bit down and upset so may be busy trying to sort out these issues now, feel worse knowing I was trying to help sort out a friends car that broke down and my wife was at home dealing with these problems on her own.
Oh life eh
Mick

That's not good Mick! Hope your daughter is ok mate, at least the culprit has been caught, cars can be fixed as you know.. Have a cuppa and try to relax, you don't need the stress, that's far worse for you.

Not good to read Mick. Dont need to tell you some things that happen in life are more important than some crumpled metal and plastic. As Trikey says, pause for a moment, take a breath, and you will see the way forward.

That's not good, at least the so & so has been caught.

Wishing your daughter well.

Hi Mick.
Sorry to hear about the troubles you have had with the car, as already stated the car can be solved, the main thing is make sure your daughter is going to be ok, also you and your wife are ok family and their health come first, very stressful seeing a loved one have a seizure, all how best wishes are with you & your family.
