At the dealership they found a tiny chip in the bottom left corner and the crack did spread from there... New windshield is $550 but in the Yukon driving with cracked windshield is permitted and since it doesn't impair my view - there is no problem. Just pisses me off because the car is so new, today I went for my first oil change. Oh, well - on the bright side - I have a visa with driver rewards which means that I'm collecting points on everything I buy on the visa and later visa is putting hard cash to my account as I redeem the points. And points are redeemable on any car related expanses (repairs, oils changes, new car). Can you guess how I paid vet bill? Yeap, by visa.
Freddy is feeling much better so this is a good thing. Now since everything is under control let's go back to our celebration!
On the eleventh day of Christmas my true love gave to me:
- eleven pipers piping
- ten lords-a-leaping
- nine ladies dancing
- eight maids-a-milking
- seven swans-a-swimming
- six geese-a-laying
- five golden rings
- three French hens
- two turtle doves
- and a partridge in a pear tree
a kit from Dimensions - A wish ornament. Rules same as yesterday and a day before.
So long my friends,
Evalina
ack at the expenses! I'm happy Topaz is ok :) sucks about the car though. :(
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear Topaz is on the mend. Our insurance covers windshield repairs...or replacement if it cracks. Your insurance won't cover that?
ReplyDeleteI would think since your car is so new, the windshield would still be under warranty. Or your insurance should cover some of it except maybe a deductible. I am glad to hear that Topaz is recuperating. The kit from Dimensions is cute. There is just something about a chickadee and Christmas that seem to go together.
ReplyDeleteLast summer a stone hit my windshield and a little crack started...when it started to get really cold last week, I was driving to town and the crack suddenly went right across my windshield! It's going to stay like that for a while, like yours it's not in my line of vision so it doesn't bother me. Just an expense I don't need right now!!!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear that Topaz is recovering well from surgery. Between the vet and car, it's been an expensive start to the new year for you:-( Things can only get better, though, right?? :-) xoxo
Oh, this birdie is so cute! I would love to stitch it. Please enter me in this drawing. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteooo good news re topaz and thought your windscreen would be covered in the insurance ??? and hopefully things will now improve :) love mouse xxxx

Your year has started with a bang. It's good to hear your Topaz is on the road to recovery. I would like to enter your drawing for the bird kit.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear Topaz is on the mend. Thank you for giveaway!
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about the expense, but glad that Topaz has what is needed. Sleep is a good thing at this point. Sorry about the crack too. I'd be too scared to drive with it. Of course, my luck in such things is horrible. My windshield would shatter, and then I wouldn't have any, lol. Just my luck!! I love that kit, and if it's not too late, I would love to enter the giveaway, Evalina. I'd like to do some ornies this year!!
ReplyDeleteOuch! I would love to enter the giveaway.
