ram1964 Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Well not more than 15 days into the new year and any hope of it being a good one doesn't bode well. Went back to work after Xmas to discover a pair of ladders had been stolen from a job I was working on. Not the end of the world but no end of messing about replacing them and two days work wasted in the process. Then discover my eBay account has been hacked and some scrote has been buying a a phone £600 ,fortunately have had the money refunded. Had to cancel all my cards ,passwords ect which is a pain in the arse. To cap it all just noticed some one has bumped the front of the car without notifying me ,which means i have to pay £600 excess. Not the greatest start to the new year, and I know some people out their will have experienced far worse such as illness or bereavement so I don't wish to sound ungrateful, and wish you all well. But anyone else seen to be having a bit of a bum start to the year.?? Just checked the postcode lottery that I have done for 3 years but other than the annual Xmas card nothing. ?

ilkleyram Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 I had a crap end to 2019 - my oldest and much loved dog departed in October, my mum died in November and my car was stolen by some scrotes from Bradford in December. After that 2020 can only be better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get a local body shop to quote for the repair, you’ll be surprised how reasonable some are, even if it’s £700 private At least your insurance won’t go up. The protected no claims is all a swiz too, don’t get me started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mucker1884 Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 I've had a poo end of 2019, and a poo start to 2020... and yeah, somebody did die! Not even seen Rooooooooooooooney live in a Rams shirt yet, as I've missed the last two home games sorting my sisters funeral and not being particularly in the mood for footy/Christmas/New year celebrations etc. But hey... Back on track tomorrow, and looking forward to standing as one beside Uncle Mel, as we duck the EFL and give Hull a pasting to keep the unbeaten run ticking along nicely. 24 hours later, It's off to the airport for the two of us, for some much needed R&R, and temps "soaring" in to the high teens (Oh well. LOL) ... Oh... and hopefully a "birthday treat" while I'm there. (She'd better do!) Hang on in there, buddy. Good times are just around the corner. Don't let the buggers get you down! UTR.

I could have compiled/printed off some "birthday coupons" at work! ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
