Alan sorry havent a clue about the car but you can have a big hug d xx

Alan I guess it depends on how fond of the car you are .............. Always have your hand in your pocket with a car unfortunately :O( Sorry to hear you are feeling so down about things tho - have a (((hug)))

Alan, It all happens at once doesn't it? Thinking of you and hoping you turn the corner soon. Viv

Alan its what you call sods law if you can afford a new one then go or it, ive found if one thing goes wrong it usually happends in three's, i gave up a long time ago with cars there OK while there working but a pain when they go wrong, good luck Lilxx

Hi Alan, Big hugs from me too - sorry you're feeling so down. Just a thought but have you tried claiming mobility allowance because of your arthritis as this would help towards another car

Hi Alan, The sad thing is....once you own a car you are going to be poor. We were driving back from the in-laws last Thursday when the indicators and the hazzards started to flash together.....nothing would stop them, so we had to drive hope with other drivers flashing, making rude signs etc. Took it straight to the garage we use he thought it was just the fuse and that would imobilise the hazzards...oh no, taking the fuse out stoped indicators and hazzards. It`s a new thingy, that will coist £200 to buy plus labour. And it sods law that father in law is in hospital, the hospital is 24 miles away, and we will have to take busses via 'High Street, China' to visit him. We only have one bus an hour from the village so a car is essential. Kathlyn

alan if you pm , my hubby he fiddles with cars and could probably give you a good idea, re its condition, or pm your phone number and he will give you a call, lorraine and you could have good moan together he has just cleaned my cooker and says his back is killing , take care and good luck.

Hello, Do you take glucosamine for your arthritis? When they withdrew Vioxx, I started to take 1500mg a day. They are very good. You can only get the large ones on the web though. I get them from healthydirect. Best wishes, Lyn.

Oh Puss thats kind What a nice Puss you are Lilxx

Hi Alan I am so pleased you decided to send us a message about how you are feeling, we can't sort your problems but we can be here to talk and writing stuff down is a good first step to sorting them out Lots of love Janet

Hi Allen Hope your feeling abit better, best step you took was to start this thread - its knowing when you are feeling poorly and down and addmitting it, first steps always the worst so 2nd one is easy go see your doctor - take care:o)))))) (((((((((((((((((((((((((((((HUGS)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) jude sarf wales :o) x
