Opened my mail today. It all lands in a little neat box inside my door.
Got a tax refund - £280 - really didn't expect that - WOOHOOO!
Opened next envelope - home insurance due for renewal - £370 - Oh...
Ah well, I wonder what the mail will bring tomorrow. It's like playing a personal one armed bandit installed in my house every day. Lol.

Look at it this way - you'd have to pay the insurance anyway; hopefully you were prepared for the bill for that to arrive (I have renewal dates all programmed into my PDA so no unexpected bills), and you have an unexpected £280 to put towards it.:oIf your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)0

What a shame you didn't open them the other way round!
Oh no! A bill.
Oh yes! Money towards the bill.0 -

for goodness sake get MSE on that house insurance! We've had subsidence and don't pay that much.0

The quote for the insurance does seem very steep. I guess it depends on the type and size of property you have. I would be making sure it was still competitive though before forking out that much.
Also do you have to pay it in one lump sum? I am with an insurance company that lets me pay monthly and doesn't charge a premium for doing so.
See the money you weren't expecting to arrive as a handy little sum to put towards this annual expense. Shame you cant just blow the lot on something more exciting though
