Nervous breakdown..

Is there really such a thing as a nervous breakdown or is just a piece of popular usage for a feeling of being unable to cope with the ups and downs of life?

I'm don't know what guaranteed delivery is. Special delivery used to guarantee arrival before noon the next day, but the time was pushed back to 1.30 several years ago. The person who posts the item can track it; I don't think the intended recipient can, but I'm not sure.

Will do Ariadne

So - will someone ring? What are the odds on that happening, I wonder! Let us know, Kali.

Thank you Moved this arrived just now. My documents have not yet!

Dear ***

I am sorry to see that you have had such a frustrating experience attempting to access your insurance documents, A member of my team will be in touch this morning to sort this out.

Once again my apologies and thank you for bringing this matter to my attention.

Yours sincerely

That's the problem Ana

On second thoughts, though, I'm probably not being helpful as the DVLA may not have registered your ownership yet. Frustrating problem, though!

But now it's insured you could tax it online - they get the insurance details automatically, surely? They don't even ask which company you're with.

Possibly Ana it was never discussed because it has never been difficult in the past; I've never had a problem like this before. The insurance has been transferred to the new car but Saga are incapable of supplying me with proof of this for tax purposes. it's not rocket science, I just need the new certificate.

Surely the dealer could have taxed the car under his firm's insurance, Kali? That's what mine did (I paid the cost, of course.)

Well guaranteed delivery means nothing. No documents. How am I supposed to tax the new(ish) car. I certainly will not be using this company again.

Yes moved my house is fun. The GKs are my life. You'll be pleased to know that Teddy earned his sticker. I'm not enquiring too closely how that happened

Your house sounds such fun Kali.

I hope RA resonds to you as quickly as she did me.

When I rang Saga about a holiday and asked if the hotel had Internet the person I spoke to had no idea but said thy had wiffy (to rhyme with sniffy) so I wasted no more time!

I've tried that and typical PO website says 'it has entered our system'. Yes, I know, that I'm waiting for it to exit the system...at my house! Phoned local depot. Answering machine on, probably all gone home. Have just emailed Ros Altmann Saga Director General.
If not here by tomorrow will simply go on line and get insurance from another company. I tried Skoda but they only insure Skodas!!!
Only got three GKs here today and they're happily trying to potty train Teddy!

Actually I don't entirely hold Saga to blame for late delivery. Our local Post Office Depot is a hive of inefficiency and skivers. Not seen a postman since last Thursday. Yes, it was bad here over the weekend and yesterday but schools are back, the buses are running and I've just had a delivery I ordered yesterday tea time from Amazon. I've managed to walk to the local shops every day bar yesterday. But any firm that relies on our local PO Depot delivering is asking for problems. I know not all Post Offices are like this.

I expect there is a get out clause for bad weather! Ask them for the number on the form and then you can track the package online. Should be interesting if they can't give it to you [cynical emoticon] Good luck

Watching this space with interest

Guess what 'guaranteed next day delivery before 12.00 noon' means ....no such thing
Waited in all morning. Nothing. More time on phone to Saga. Should come by 1.30pm but cannot guarantee this either.
Perhaps I'm getting old but I thought 'guaranteed' meant something. Is it me?

bags thank goodness for hands free and eyes in the back of my head.
Oddly enough nanaej just about to jump in a Dead Sea Therapy bath.
Cheers moved will open that after the above bath
wise in hand and tegan better odours all round

And flatulence is solved [canine that is]. All in all, after a bad start, a result .

Just caught up with gransnet. Kali hope you are feeling better now. I think Insurance - car, house etc is one of the biggest stressors around. They are supposed to be providing a service but that is a joke. Well done you for coping with that while looking after four children. That is what is known as a double whammy. You deserve a large when they have all gone.

Kali I've PMd it to you as I seem to remember it was a very long Internet search.

Just logged on ..hope you are able to have a relaxing evening kali [bubble bath emoticon].. after a busy and frustrating day! I had a tricky few moments this morning when I had to battle with the HMRC website to pay my tax return dues & kept getting told my username and password were incorrect! And I only had DH flapping about a lost receipt not 4 GKs!

Respect, kali! I'm not sure I could do a ninety minutes phone call with four GK in the house. Hope your insurance is sorted soon.

lilygran, moomin, moved and ella thank you
How do you find out info like the email address moved?
Pity only got one mouth though ella
grace

Kali Glad you feel a bit more composed. Just think how many glasses of wine you'll be able to hold with all those hands!

I had a run in with Saga which was only resolved after I emailed Ros Altman directly. She answered really quickly and then things got sorted asap.

Yes, nervous breakdowns do happen but I think they are rather more serious than this. That is not to put down your rotten day/time Kali for which you have my sincere sympathy.
