Remember Remember, that awful November…

I am not sorry to say adieu to what was a very challenging month for me.  On the first day of November, my beloved bread van sustain a fatal injury to it’s frontage.  I’ve spend the last few weeks being passed between insurers, underwriters, loss recovery agents, non-liability management claim agents and it’s not something I want to go through again, ever ever ever.  None of them know what each other are doing, and I’m stuck in the middle trying to second guess their procedures and protocols.  I’d like to say the nightmare is over, but I
am still very much in the dark as to when I will receive my settlement payment, and with just £5 in the bank, It’s going to be a lean Christmas in the Bottrill household, I can tell you!  I have managed to replace my van with a blue one but as I am still mourning the loss of my little white one, I haven’t quite fallen in love with it yet.  It smells a bit funny (the old one was fags and builders stuff which I’d kinda warmed to) and it’s not got it’s proper signage on yet but I’m sure it will come to love it as time goes on.  I’ll post pics when it’s looking lovely, in the meantime, I need a little help to get me in the festive mood, so here are some biccys that I’m been told I’ve got to make again for my son’s school tomorrow.  I need a break!!!
