gratefulforhelp's austerity measures

gratefulforhelp_2

Its an outrage isn't it? It can't possibly cost that much different between different insurers, they are just parasites on the poor and ill-educated. I wouldn't mind, but I have been accident-free for 22 years!!

That's a good result, though. Well done.

All insurances seem to increase year on year, there is no reward for loyalty. My dad has 2 cars, a nissan primera and a classic car. he uses a specialist for the classic and norwich union for the nissan. He was quote oover £600 for the nissan at his renewal in June, he just shrugged shoulders and said it costs what it costs. I did a renewal via TCB with postoffice for a thrid of the cost plus 60 cashback. it was my mums tcb account so she pocketed the cashback for her christmas fund

That's pretty funny, good on your Mum. Glad he is away from Norwich Union, God help him if he ever had to claim from them, I wouldn't touch them with someone else's.

haha, since dad retired my mum is turning into a right little money poser/saver. She does clicks and stuff

I can't find my flipping insurance certificate for my refund, can they insist on having it back for a refund??

Two more places to look...

CathT

oh, not sure. Am sure you must have it somewhere! Good luck with finding it.

gratefulforhelp_2

Thanks, I have two places left to look and I'm steeling myself as one of them is outside!!

All I have found is a mouldy plum in my school bag. I can find the certificates for 2008-9 and 2009-10 aarrrggghhhh! Its worth £79.

Will have to ring them.

haha. We are still snowbouns. As you have probably seen from the pregnancy thread, catw0man lives about 4 miles from me, a mile from my parents and her OH works on the roads. she says they are expecting 8 inches. OMG thats no midwife tomorrow then

can you not just say cert sent back give me refund.

gratefulforhelp_2

They have sent me a "statutory declaration" to swear I have lost it. Phew!

So will you still live close when you move? How far are you going? You can pram push together!

You don't need a midwife til Feb do you? Or am I way out?

I've managed to have a bath, had to have a rest after, I really am in a bad way. Also discovered that however much I want to save the launderette money, I cannot get a king size duvet into the washing machine!!!

Realised I managed to get insurance for the year for £100 cheaper on a car that has a one litre bigger engine than the old one. Craaaazy.

DH now wants an ipod to play tunes in the car, he's planning his cheesy Christmas compilation already.
