Blimey Adam, seems like it never rains but pours! Hope it all resolves ASAP, it all sounds a bit stressful.

That SUX.I've been fortunate that I've not had this happen as the first thing I do when I take out any insurance is ring them and make sure,"Auto-Renewal" is off and get a confirmation of it.These Barstewards are all about ripping people off,not protecting them!

Also you have my sympathies on the sales things.At some point I'll be selling some parts on eBay for my from my old Hondas.You got any tips to avoid this C*ap happening as I've never sold anything on eBay?

Not doing my mood any good, especially after only about 6 hours sleep

Know partly how you feel Mav. I struggle with the dark mornings and evenings over the back end and start of the year. Doesn't help my bouts of depression at all, you have my sympathy here.

The same way that Carlsberg is Danish, even though it's brewed in Northampton.
