Hello! Thanks for visiting my thread. I'll give you a hint, it's Are Aye See and in your case V. And the vouchers are for W00L135.
I believe you need to have Roadside Assist, not just an Insurance Policy though. Well worth it IMO. If you do decide to change over, make sure you get the Roadside Assist first as RA members get a discount on the insurance. I've compared them to a lot of companies and seem to be the cheapest I can find.
P.S Do you have a diary? I would love to read the ramblings of a fellow Aussie.$10k Emergency Fund - DONE!

So work has paid us early for Christmas. :j:j:j:j:j
As well as cutting down my budget, I was able to get some extra $ by working an extra day. And we got our leave loading paid out so that's some more monies to put into the savings.
So I'm adding $674.38
So my new total is $6677.99
Am feeling very pleased with myself :money::money::money:
Also next year I've decided that I will donate $20 per fortnight to a charity/organisation. It's not a lot but I've got to start somewhere. Once I've got my degree and am working full time I will start donating a lot more.
I decided to jump the gun and start it right now, so I've donated $20 to Wikipedia.
Off to update my signature!$10k Emergency Fund - DONE!
