    more cheese! LOL

    I'm just about to whack some chips in for me and DH.
    Just did an online quote for contents insurance, £96 a year, does that sound reasonable? I've never had contents insurance so not really sure. Insured possessions to the value of 15k, although Im pretty sure we dont have nearly that much.... maybe i should change that.

    An email is as good as calling her at this stage I would have thought hun xx

    Yeah i thought an email at least gives me a record of when I have noted interest.

    I would have thought 15K was a bit to low, ours is 30K i've read stories of people having problems if under-insured, £96 seems reasonable ours is £17.89 for buildings and contents which is extremely cheap compared to any other quotes i've had, this also includes accidental damage cover, does your quote?

    Think it did have accidental coverage as well, and an excess of £150...

    Might put DH in charge of that, as I pretty much just cannot be bothered :)

    Just dont another dooyoo review and still not put anything on for lunch, opps..

    That seems pretty good to me £150 excess is pretty cheap, i worked at a firm that dealt with insurance flooring claims and have seen excesses from £50 to £650!

    Your DH is gonna be wasting away!!! i've just been eating sweeties yummmmm

    Hope you get the job swap Bella. I'm a fellow cheese fan but not good as I'm supposed to be on a diet (don't mention the yum yums I've bought for coffee at a friends this afternoon!)

    So impressed with all you dooyoo reviewing CAFCGirl I've only managed 5!

    Chips are finally in! LOL

    I really struggled with dooyoo at the start not knowing what the hell to review etc, but now I just search for things that I might have used, and bang one out :)

    I'm trying to get DH to buy me a pannini press for xmas, I ruddy love paninis and shouldnt really spend £4 a time on one, problem will be should i have it at home or at work LOL
    Might get a cheap toaster for work and take in some fruit breads or something. Im not a big eater at lunch times, but need to make sure I get something down my neck.... plus if I buy a toaster, can claim on it at work, so effectively wouldnt cost me anything.... hmmmm thats actually sounding like the better idea... We've got a fridge at work so I could keep the stuff for a week there.... why do I never think of these things?!

    I've been doin better on dooyoo, i've managed 9 and i'm on 6465 points i find it helps if you rate other peoples reviews as they then rate you back :) xx

    I've had so many return raters, it really does help to bump up the old total.
    Plus I've found if you make suggestions about products and they add it to the database you get 500 miles just for that, and then writing the review, thats 1k miles on one product then. I've got 2 suggestions waiting in the wings and one already accepted, so pretty pleased with myself on that one.
