    This won't count but wanted to share my success in saving on my house insurance: the renewal came in at £43 more than last year,(I checked on my 2015 spreadsheet - I'm that much of a geek!), so I phoned and asked if they could do any better and got the same cover for £50 less than they were quoting. It just goes to show that it's always worth asking!
    I don't see why that won't count Nonna ?? It's money you've saved by phoning them and nothing geeky about that :money:


    Check with Aesop but I think it will count. Depends if you paid it in December or January as to which month though :D

    Humph. I posted a pic, deleted it because I used the wrong link and now I can't post pictures at all.

    Anyway.... it was the pic of our new Smart meter.
    Obviously we haven't run around the house all day switching things on and off.
    It might be okay if you log off and then log back on. I find that often works for various things.

    Thankyou. I brought a nasty coldback with me.

    I may not pop on later as feel so cold. Think hot shower and tablets and early bed for me
    All the best and hope you soon feeling better.


    DH came home today from work with a head cold. Thank goodness he is not one of those who get 'man flu' and doesn't make too much of a fuss - just a little :rotfl:

  • Hello from Newcastle! We are having a family holiday here to see family (we live in San Diego).

    Internet withdrawal meant the purchase of wifi for a few days, which I believe DH can claim back as he needs it for work.

    $2 shopkicks
    $3 Freemyapps
    $10 forest people
    $64 on its way for some mystery shops.

    I've lost count of my total...

    Happy New Year!!
    Your biggest asset is TIME! I'm focused on multi-generational financial freedom.

    We didn't eat loads over xmas as were at someone else's house and were limited to what was available lol. :rotfl:


    then we took stepdaughter out on monday for dinner. that was an expensive meal mind there were 6 of us and DH heavily tipped the poor waitress serving us.

    Hope you are getting loads in tips

    you can add it if you like Nonnadiluca, but only the one payment as it is a saving you can use elsewhere.

    Well done! good to see some providers actually care enough to hold onto their customers.
