So sorry to hear that Fiona, best to get it replaced I guess. Your insurance may cover it, but probably an excess on the policy for the windscreen, worth checking.

Your insurance should definately cover it. Most policies do. Im with tesco and I had mine replaced within 24 hours for an excess of 50 quid. That does NOT affect you no claims bonus but you can only claim one windscreen per year on only two in a three year period.

My insurance states that a crack will be repaired for free if possible or replaced with a £50 excess if it aint repairable.

Its a complete waste of time getting it repaired, it will only get worse over time and need changing eventually.
