I've been with them for four years in total (I had a 1 year gap where I'd bought a brand new car that came with a year's breakdown cover). I always get their UK Cover package which includes roadside, onward destination and home assistance. With my old banger of a car I called them out for the radiator over-heating, the exhaust falling off and something that, as a woman, is beyond my brain capabilities to understand. Each time they came within the hour and after my initial call to them telling them the problem, I seem to remember they rang me back to give me an indication of how long they'd be. They've always been friendly on the phone, be that for a call out or for renewing my cover with them. I remember when they couldn't fix my car they towed it to my (yes my choice!) garage and then took me home too and the guy waited till I was inside my hallway before driving off.

Just three warnings: max number of call outs per year is 6 and they won't come within the first 48 hours of cover (to stop people scamming them for a cheap tow!) and it is strictly breakdowns (locking keys in car, running out of fuel, car stuck in snow don't count). But all these are clearly stated on their website, along with what is covered of course!

Anything else?

Great to hear you are so close to the 70% offset, well done :T

Regarding hats; if winters continue like this I think the perception will change, but we've just not had a hat culture for so long. Keep warm and safe.

To celebrate my Quidco money coming through I have bought a book (£3.86) Good job I didn't get as much as Dinah or I might have bought a whole library:D

Thanks for the info. MRN - very helpful and much appreciated:j

Stuart I am passed (or is that past?) caring what I look like in the snow, my hat has ears, that cover my ears, keep me warm and look rediculous - who cares? Not me!:p

Whilst walking the dog today saw so many people dressed in just jeans, thinish tops and shoes:eek:. What on earth is the matter with people - dress warm stay safe!! Listen to me sounding like an old fart!

Hi TPA

Good for you I too have a hat with ears and its all furry inside to keep me warm. I laugh at those with frozen ears!

Can I join the AF challenge? I'm aiming for 5 days a week.

Why do you use Quidco and not Topcashback? Have Quidco stopped charging their annual fee?

I've stopped drinking and thought I would wait until my birthdayin March, however just remembered that our wedding anniversary is the middle of January - not sure whether to have a drink then or not?

Good for you on the hat front too! Has yours got a calculator?:rotfl:

Yes you may join the challenge - this week or next?

I got a parking ticket today:eek:For parking in a council car park, covered in snow, I bought a ticket £3.50:eek:, when I returned to the cr I had a yellow sticky on the window £40 fine for not parking within the designated area therefore covering two spaces - erm I could not see the designated area - the tarmac was not visiable nor the lines due to the snow:mad:. I took piccies on my mobile and will be writting a letter saying in no uncertain terms that I will NOT be paying:mad:.

Floxxie - I use both TCB and Quidco, depends what is where!

TPA just a thought re your bridge fees could you possibly invest in a rubber dinghy and sail under the bridge to avoid daily fees?
