Thanks, ubasses, today it looks as if we have managed to fix some insurance for my Renault Megan - so we will have a legal car to drive in a month's time.
It really is very stressful. I am really very grateful, you get caught up in this manic world. It is actually easier in France, would you believe!
Next comes Mr J2's beloved BMW series 3 (one more year and it will be a classic - he's a car buff) - they all seem to think he's an 82 yr-old madman likely to be racing around the country (the quotes are for more than the car is worth!).
Anyway, thanks again, at least we'll be legally mobile. :o) xx
