    I watched some of that last night - was orrible

    Me brain's getting addled trying to sort out home insurance. Tesco renewal came at almost £600, more than double last year's. Checked online, and was quoted £200 less, rang em up and got it down by another £40. I asked why renewal was so blimmin dear, and even the woman couldnt understand it. Why cant they just send the renewal at their best price :confused:

    Still going to shop around a bit more, Quidco etc ;)

    Have you tried More than?
    I changed to them as their quote was quite a bit lower!

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    I'm a bit scared to try them. I accepted a quote last year via Quidco, then Tesco offered to beat it so I stayed with them in the end. But, the cashback via Quidco was paid anyway, £80 I think :o

    spud - try Asda through quidco for a quote. I've just switched to their lowest offered quote (£14 per month for contents and buildings) and got £68 cashback.
