Well today AAMI called us back with the final answer on our dearly beloved (erm….OK so we hated the car) bomb.

They decided it would not be a statutory write  off….but rather a repairable write off. So in blonde terms, they are going to fix it, and then it can be resold and will get a VIV number (similar to a VIN but it will appear on a write off record).

Good thing though, we still get our payout.

We had 2 options: Take the payout or get it repaired and keep it

Of course we chose the payout….we will be happy to part with the bomb.

The hunt for a new car continues…..SIGH

Well the day has come….our Moodle mobile went in for her bingle assessment…and FAILED.

Visual damage alone totalled $1900….then it would need a new tow bar ($600)…that’s without even looking under that car..

Apparently the damage to the rear was quite bad and the guy was surprised no one was hurt even though the other car was going at a fairly ok speed (so we guess more then 40kph like we guessed).

It screwed all the door frames, the boot was structurally damaged….

Over all….it was alot worse then we could see, and they said it wasn’t economical to fix.

We have our personalised plates still for the next car.

Our bomb has been written off and it now going to salvage land

Of course, Craig mis-understood the chick on the phone yesterday who said ‘Make sure there is 1/4 tank of fuel in the car…..for, ‘Make sure there is a FULL tank of fuel in the car’….so $45 lost on filling it up (when it didn’t need to be cos there was over a 1/4 tank left in the first place).

So now we must look for a new car ASAP…as we no longer own one….really great when you have 3 kids that need to get to school….to the shops…and for any other reason!

So why am i always wrong…
Today being first of June i said we were half way through the year….but was corrected, we are not half way through until 1st July. Then i said its less then 6 months til Christmas…but was corrected that wouldnt 25th June be 6 months til Christmas.

So why cant i do anything right….
Last week i started my BL journey. Today was weigh in day and i lost….NOTHING. So why did i bother trying when i didnt loose a single gram????

For now, ill keep my trap just.
