    Lolly896 just go to Quidco and look up Insurance then all the best offers are there, I clicked on Sainsburys and as long as you go to it via Quidco it logs this and you get your cashback.

    Part of the Furniture 1,000 Posts Name Dropper I've been Money Tipped!
    Just an update from my earlier post.. Earlier today I bought a cotbed on line after DH and I went looking (for the millionth time) at the weekend. I used a voucher so got some money off. To cut a long story short we had narrowed it doen to 2. DH liked one much more than the other. I did too, however, the other one is also lovely and nearly £200 cheaper. I believed we had settled on the more expensive one (as I said before we have been so lucky and haven't had to buy buggie etc..) anyway, when I told DH I had bought it, he said he had been looking on line and believed we should get the other one and save our pennies!!! :money:

    So I called them up and they changed the order and have refunded me £189 to my card.

    And, I had some left of veggie bits of a curry and rice in the fridge with a home made chapati which I have just had for lunch which was scrummy and have to admit a year ago would have probably been thrown away (I haven't had it foir a year, i mean my habits have changed!!!):rotfl:

    No you're not a vegetarian if you eat any animal or fish, so do not insult genuine veggies by calling yourself one! :mad:
