    Everything crossed here too.....

    Bet you are looking forward to your holidays - I get the distinct feeling that you are wishing time away again!

    Car insurance was the bane of my life last month - my existing insurer wanted to double it! In the end got for £140 more than I paid last year, but still a good reduction - its absolutely mad how its gone up. I'm sure your negociation skills are up to the task!

    Job for today is to negotiate car insurance, my renewal is about £80/90 above last year's level.. I have done the leg work (comparison site, cashback...) and nothing comes even close to my renewal quote.. I think it will be down to pure negotiation skills and a bit of french charm ;):p

    They should give it to you for nothing then surely?! ;)
