Spent over an hour (on and off - after all I am at work!!) getting quotes on-line for car insurance. Why is it dearer than last year when I've taken dh off as we don't need him as a named driver, I have made no claims, had no convictions and it's the same car??!!!!!!To love and be loved is the greatest happiness of existance - Sydney Smith0

It may be worth looking at how much it costs with him on your insurance as I know that sometimes it can cost less with another person.
Unfortunately DH has had an accident and 3 points on his license in the last 5 years so mine is more expensive. UnforetunalyJanuary Grocery 11/3740 -

I really need to go out into the cold and go to the bank...the pet insurance cheque has arrived and I'd like to pay it in. Then i've got to take dad for his appointment - he's having his heart checked as it's 16 years since his bypass and they last, on average, 10 years. Please could I ask for some 'healthy heart for Mudder's Dad' vibes. Thank you xx0

I got carried away with my HHC and have only just stopped. Todays list is finished so that is 5 out of 5 for me plus I have worked through a lot more old paperwork, binning, filing and putting aside to shred as appropriate. Back to 2006 now
.
Having a break for lunch then going to do an hour on the play room before the boys come home.
Thanks Flower
