Stevie doesn't hang about, he's done another 10 deliveries now and is only about a mile away.

But apparently there's still another 32 people whose deliveries are more important than mine

19 more people to go!

Stevie is less than a mile away, down at the bottom of hill behind Aldi, you know.

He's probably being followed by a TV detective van,

13 to go! He's a dynamo this guy.

5!!

He's going so fast, he must just be flinging stuff over the garden hedge and then scarpering.

It's here!

I'm waiting in for someone to come from the insurance company to look at my poor battered car.

But at least I've got my new telly to watch while I'm waiting.

I might try and get it to show me the last Missy episode.

The man from the insurance company has been. He offered me exactly the amount I expected for the car. So that means I'll only be £333 out of pocket as a result of this sorry saga.

Also I successfully got the telly to show Missy. It was very sad. Poor Missy

I'm waiting in for the salvage company person to come and take my old car away.

I've done altogether too much waiting in lately.

He hasn't turned up yet

I told my neighbours I'd move my replacement car away from 'their' spot by the end of the afternoon, but I was kind of banking on him turning up before then.

Luckily I was able to move the new car to another space.

And he's phoned to say he's coming within the hour.

While I was waiting, I cleared out the old car - and found £14 in old unspendable £1 coins. And yet I DOUBLE-CHECKED the glove box stash for those last year.

He arrived! And my old car is now gone but my new one is now in place

The building society say I can pay the old coins into my account.

I bet they're just lying to waste my time though.
