It would be a nice thing for you to do.
And even if your Dad does not iron out the wrinkles, you would have a reminder each time you saw them of your good deed. Win - Win |

If you get a quote, tell them it's going to be a cash job and not an insurance job. The quote will reflect this as there will be less padding to make up for the runaround that insurance companies often give the repairers. To be honest, someone that's driving around in a car without even "3rd party property" coverage is showing a complete lack of consideration for other people. Yes her life may be tough, but every time she goes out on the road, she's playing high stakes gambling using what may be someone else's most valuable possession as her bankroll.

Went and saw Dad on Friday. He reckons he can fix it pretty easily with a little help from a teenage boy or two, so we're going to head up to the farm next weekend and get it sorted.
In the mean time, I'm going to get a quote from a smash repairer and give it to the lady who hit me. I'll let her decide if she wants to cover any or all of the cost for whatever needs doing at the smash repairs. If she chooses to pay, I'll be able to get my dad a nice present instead of paying someone else I guess. I think I'll still need to replace the bumper though. We'll see how it looks when Dad's finished with it. He's a pretty handy bloke.

They changed it. I added the bold, but the rest was a copy and paste.

Heh, they must have gotten some tweets. Well you've captured their foibles so they won't get away with it, when the rest on the nation reads this thread.

Pork I think. But that was yesterday.
Today I am treading on eggshells. I haven't done anything wrong, in fact I have behaved in an exemplary fashion. But the 'rents had new sofas delivered today and the delivery men came early. The window was 09.00-12.00 and they called at 07.50 to say they were on their way. Meh, the 'rents are old and hate a change to their routine. And Mum is ill - has lost half a stone (7lbs) in a week. So although they are happy that the delivery is here and assembled and all sorted, they are also grumpy and prone to complaining. Have helped shift things around and gave them back their change from last night and done some dusting. Just have to remember not to take it personally. I'm a bit of a grumpy old woman myself these days, and I guess I would have been unsettled by a call an hour before I was expecting it too. Shame, because I wanted to tell her all about last night in a real cosy mother-daughter chat thing, make it come alive for her. Still, my time will come. I'll find a relevant thread and tell y'all instead.

Sundae, have they tested you for taxoplasmosis? Just wondering.

They've tested me for damn near everything I think.
I'll ask. Mum has settled down a bit now. The good thing is she knows she can depend on me. She said, "I should have asked you to go to the hospital with your father." Yes, she should have done - I didn't know he was going until after he had gone, he goes out every morning after all. And she wants me to go to the chemist for her later, as I did yesterday. I glory in these little things I can do. Turns out she broke her glasses yesterday, so she can't read, use the internet or her Kindle, so no wonder she is grumpy - I would be too. I'm doing my best for her. When she can see again I'll show her the photos. We've now talked about the evening, I knew we would. Glad I didn't get all offended and stroppy. Am learning how to choose my time
