    BB, probably because we care more about our pets than we do our cars!

    Not sure how much Mum's is for Milly (Patterdale Terrier they rehomed), but when she had the alsatian nowhere would insure her for a decent amount as she'd never had her hips scored. And in the end, it wasn't her hips that gave out.

    Ok, my no smoknig thing went kaput as the inhalator tates like ashtray. So, I'm doing it my way. Max 5 cigs today (have had 3) anhd only 2 tomorrow. Where I'm not smoking, I'm actually finding I'm not needing it as much, and that it's mainly routine that keeps me to it.
    ** Total debt: £6950.82 ± May NSDs 1/10 **
    ** Fat Bum Shrinking: -7/56lbs **
    **SPC 2012 #1498 -£152 and 1499 ***
    I do it all because I'm scared.

    BB my dog Finn is just 3 years old. When his insurance renewal was due last time it had gone up (Tesco) so I shopped around - found a cheaper quote and then - surprise surprise -Tesco 'revised' their quote when I rang them.

    tried haggling - didn't work. Churchill said that it was the lowest price they could offer. :(

    Although funnily enough doing a quote as a 'new' customer brings it £5 per month cheaper than they could do for me as an existing one! :rolleyes:
