The £1,000 emergency fund challenge.

I know what you mean re: insurers. My parents asked me to renew their home insurance with their current provider (my dad is hard of hearing, so using the phone is hard work for him).
I did a quick search and found that their insurer was listed on TCB, so clicked through and renewed.
My mum has a few disability aids that the insurer did not have covered, so added them and a few other bits. The total cost was 50% lower than their renewal quote. On top of that, they got £50 in shopping vouchers and I got £26 in cashback. Win-win all round.
Next up will be dad's car insurance.
Got £8 from Genie for some old clothes. Might have more soon as well.Never Knowingly Understood.
