    I just joined the "well woman" plan insurance on tv. I figured its £5.95 per month the cost of a bottle of wine. I lost my dear friend to breast cancer last year! Could be anyone .:(
    Any one heard any thing bad about them???
    Had £20 free boots voucher for joining.:T i will use for christmas present!

    My only thought is that it cover 'female' cancers, but what about other cancers? I would consider seeing if you can get similar cover for all types of illness (i.e. proper life/critical illness insurance) instead. I'd be gutted if I'd put money into insurance like that only to then get ill with something gneder unspecific such as bowel cancer, only to get told I wasn't covered. Grr! :mad:
    Please call me 'Pickle'

    Critical Illness Cover for £50000 costs me £49 a month, which I think is very expensive but just like the doggy ins debate - I am too scared to cancel it!

    Mac you a right i just changed s/o to £10 per month not a lot but ralistic and at least i am paying back something!! The rest of pay rise will go to highest cc.
    Thanks Mac you said what i needed to hear!xxxxx

    No worries! He's only young and doesn't need it right now - if he had lent it to you and he was in his 20's and wanting to buy a house - then that's a different matter. You know you'll pay it back :A

    I too feel the guilt. I spend all week away from my kids and really miss them, then I can't wait to get them in bed and have 5 minutes peace :o:o:o

    EDIT: Ooops - forget to say hope the party is a great success!!!
  • Morning all!!! Well i was going to go shopping for following
    tom sauce to take so kids can have extra (no need)
    extra party bags (no need)
    chocolate eggs for babies, as party bag stuff not suitable for babes, (no need they can have cake)
    Extra drinks just in case (no need)
    before i would have gone overboard and done all this now its thought of and thrown out!!!
    Just have to cut cake now fro party bags and blow up balloons!!!
    see you later!

    I think after a little persons party - a glass of wine is compulsory. Here in Ireland, the most Catholic of countries, we have a thing about Lent and as only the Irish could, we have some how intergrated the idea of 'breaking Lent on Sundays' as being ok......and technically somewhere in the world it IS Sunday...................so really you haven't broken it at all!

    May just have to tuck in the remainder of my Lidl special myself!
