    morning all help required re. car insurance Just had a renewal quote £120 more than last year. I think I know why I was involved in a minor accident back in January Not my fault ( claim settled ) I have tried to get quotes from a couple of other companies and they want anything from £150 to £400 extra. now this is when I want some advise on filling in the form Do I put the max. 9 years no claim or do I have to put in 0 years no claim due to my blameless accidet The real Question is why should a person who was not at fault have to pay for someone elses fault

    Not sure if any help but I had someone go into the back of me and I had protected no claims so I put how many years for that but it also asked if involved in accident in last so many years and there was tick box if no fault accident.

    :(:(:( Skip past as unhappy post

    :(:( My Father has lost the use of his legs last night :(:(

    Awaiting Dr who is calling after 12pm.

    Why they couldn't tell Drs it was an emergency I don't understand but they know best.

    The first time it happened was in 2001 & he learned to walk but very unsteady & slow.

    This year was the year of him getting his own car that he can drive with hand controls & he has been literally whizzing around the country with his new found freedom.

    Tomorrow my Parents were going to Center Parc Sherwood Forest for a friend's birthday weekend.


    Poor Mum - I've offered to go down but she says no....
    Will wait & see :)

    Snap so sorry to hear this, you have had such a horrible year. Take care x

    So did I if it's any consolation. Think you had to be VERY quick that time.
  • Here's an example of a lovely A v M c&c from 4 hours ago. I got very lucky in that not only did all the bottles of spirits compare to the correct M price, I only actually paid £15 for each of them on my receipt bringing each litre bottle down to £10..:D

    Also, the sausages didn't appear on my receipt and I wasn't charged for them..:D

    So yesterday I used a fajita mix from the great Old El Paso glitch, BBE Nov 2012. :eek: But I am still here to tell the tale. :D

    Today it's a bar of Bailey's chocolate I found, free from IDH not from last year either as it's dated BBE 10/2014. :o

    Living life on the edge. :rotfl:

    The creamy Baileys filling has gone interestingly crystalized. :o

    Hi, do you have to buy the schwartz spice jars in twos or can you buy 10 mixed .Sorry but I have never done a Sainsburys Brand Match.
    TIA

    I got 10 mixed but you could buy multiples of the same flavour if you want. The offer in A is 2 for £2 so you have to buy an even number overall for best return (but no more than 10 in total because that is the COS/CS cap)

    From memory I got

    chilli powder hot
    chilli powder mild
    paprika
    cinnamon sticks
    cinnamon (ground)
    cumin (ground)
    coriander (ground)
    ginger (ground)
    garamasala
    cayenne pepper

    I almost got turmeric but it's not listed on A.com so changed my mind

    I got 10 mixed because it means you don't need to get any fillers at all. So if you are new to BM this is a perfect introduction

    You could easily add in a single tin of Branston Beans (75p vs 50p with 40p CB on ST so 10p cost), or a Dr O pizza if you have any free MOCs because each one of those will give you an extra £1 on your BM

    WHATEVER you add has to be cheaper in A, same price or not sold. Anything you buy that is cheaper in S will erode the value of your BM voucher
