Took the car to the Assessor's Shop today - basically, you get a quote from the Insurance company's certified repairers, give it the them, they have a look at your car and say whether the quote is accurate or not, and then give you the ok or whatever. They did the 'looking at the car and giving the ok' bit today, and it all went fairly well, until he realised that the front had actually pushed the radiator back a bit. He couldn't tell for sure how far back because he couldn't take the bumper off, but it was definitely back. There's no damage to the radiator itself, probably just the frame, but the whole process of taking out and stuff makes it just that little bit more expensive. Not my problem, but it also means more time in the shop. Woe.

Our major predicament is that it's going to take seven working days to fix it. We can't really do without our car for seven working days. We could always hire a car cheaply, or just move things around a little, but it's still going to be pretty inconvenient. Le sigh. Must pray.
