- Thinking of switching life insurance/crit illness...can get extra nectar points + voucher through moving to Sainsburys...will check what cover we currently have.
I changed mine recently through Cavendish online, £35 one off upfront fee but the rates were so much better than anything I could get shopping directly. You won't get any vouchers, but you could potentially save £1000s over the whole term. I bought 2 insurances, one for OH and one for myself, and we will save the fees within months of having the insurance, compared to the other lowest quote we received.

Having quite a good MFW day today:
- Council tax bill arrived, no increase, and i will pay on the CC again this year and earn airmiles.
- 50p on onepoll - Now £38.40, so close but so far.
- Did a mysurvey and got 80 points.
- Did a new vista live survey and got £4 for about 18 minutes. (£12.50 towards a £50 payout. Slowly slowly.
- Part of my thompson and morgan order arrived - now got garlic and seed potatoes to get planted
- 2 loads of washing nearly fully dried outside
- will make chicken curry tonight to use up some rubber chicken.
- £5 amazon code arrived in my inbox.
DH claims he is going to sort a load of scrap in the garage and take it to the scrap man in the morning. Will believe that when i see it. I also need to remind him to sort out his insurance so he can pick up his new car on Saturday - not that MFW as that one will cost us to change the policy. We should know too if the garage want to buy his old car.0 -

Im not having much luck with Onepoll recently.
Is it because I:
a) dont have kids
b) dont take foreign holidays
c) only work part time.....
.....or is it because Im not too far off payout stage !!0 -
I haven't had as much luck as usual on onepoll as i have young kids and don't work. lol. Maybe it is just because we are near payout. We'll get there in the next week or so.0
