Sad Livingston Lioness

Thank you so much to everyone who replied to my 200th blip yesterday - it never fails to amaze me how many of you take the time to comment on little old me!

As for todays blip, my colleague Jacqui is a HUGE Livingston FC supporter. I believe she has even been known to dress up as their mascot, the Livi Lion on a few occasions. Unfortunately the club has been in financial difficulties for some time now and this weeks announcement of them being placed into administration has upset her somewhat. So I have blipped her holding her lion today to try to make her smile!

I was in a bit of a bad mood this evening too after falling out with my car insurance company. A guy ran into the back of my car nearly 2 years ago but refused to admit liability. Even though an independant company went out to the accident scene afterwards to check things out and ruled in my favour, his insurance company were still at the beginning of this year threatening to take me to court! Anyway, they have now backed down and the case has been closed in my favour. However, over the past 2 years my insurance has been renewed twice and the insurance company have knocked 4 years both times off my no claims and charged me higher premiums, but promised if the case was closed in my favour, I'd get the extra money back. This week I've been trying to get them to refund that money....was promised a call back on Wednesday .... no call... so today chased it up. Was passed from department to department ... from India ... to UK.... to South Africa. One person told me I'm not entitled to the money back, another said I had to put in a legal claim for it against the other driver and another cut me off! I phoned back and was getting so angry my hubbie had to take over the call and has now been promised yet another call back next week. Grrrrrrr!

On a happier note though, I'd like to welcome my friend KC to blip! I'm sure she'll soon become as addicted as I am!
