    Well I am as ready as I will ever be .... I am still way way way over my insurance amount .... Went to look for what I thought was my policy ... It was fromesure so I filed it to be dealt with later ( I deal with things on the 14th of every month) it was a renewel notice covering me for 50k so I didn't recieve my insurance ( nothing unusual at my address) and I wouldve thought I was covered for the 50k so deff don't understand why only 19k

    El, I remember the days when you had to specify how much cover you wanted, now most insurance companies tend to offer a set amount, usually 50k......no wonder you thought that was the figure you were covered for.
    *must dig out my policy and check incredibly tiny print*

    Just a thought, is your cover new for old?

    On the sugar front .... These cravings arnt as strong ... But every now and then they just hit me something rotten and I suddenly start looking for chocolate ....but I am aware now that it's the sugar and it seems to be working by thinking ... Ahh so u want a treat ( this is the conversation I have in my head ) well is diabetes a treat ? Is being at a higher risk for a corony a treat ? Then I think ohhh I'll just have an apple ... So I eat an apple or something ... So it's still sweet but it is naturally sweet rather than processed

    thanks lemon ...

    ok the situation is as this ... i am over insured for household goods ... but under insured for high risk items to the tune of 45% (best guess)... guess what got stolen .... yep the high risk items ... i explained to the person that came out the situation with the letter he is going to write a report about it and see if anything can be done ...

    the worst case scenario would be that i am not insured and nothing will be replaced ... the best is they pay for everything ... the likely hood of them paying for everything is smaller that a snowballs chance in hell ... i hope they can understand that there has been a bit of a discrepancy and that they will even agree to pay maybe 75% ... they will not pay for my sons laptop under any circumstances so i will have to pay £1k for that and if they pay out the the 55%(best guess) on the other goods i will be roughly £6k out ... so all in all it will have cost me approx roughly £8k to be burgled ....

    but i will not be a victim i will not less this take me to a place i dont want to go ... we will get through this and we will recover

    sorry to hear that the insurance policy stuff is not good, it's made me wonder about my own policy i shall certainly investigate the terms when it's up for renewal.
    enjoy your day out.
