    Greenbee - snap I'm having car insurance on my list of 5
    If you're looking for green/ethical providers, maybe we can pool resources... I used ETA last year as Ethical Consumer rated them well. They're a broker rather than an insurer, but I don't think it's easy to be green & ethical when it comes to cars!

    I'm very, very tired... and am trying to get myself vaguely organised for work today... updating my own stuff in my paper diary so I have it with me and working out what to wear. My blackberry has finally died (battery has run out as it kept waking itself up while I was on leave) so sadly I can't check up on anything before I leave for work - I'll recharge it in the car, and my mailbox is full, so I can see a day of email filing ahead of me!!
