Check Groupon (go through tcb or qc first). £27 for the year for the same sort of policy as Autoaid.

Thanks everyone I went for autoaid as they have a 5* defaqto rating, plus they cover the driver rather than the car (and free cover for your spouse if you happen to have one). They were on Groupon as well for £39 (there is 15% back on Quidco until 4pm). I had £6 Groupon credit (no idea where it came from) and the rest was covered by my survey earnings for the last week or so

I'm in bed with my 'fever' & snotty cold

Can I ask how one goes about selling picture framing equipment and stock?
Dad will never be able to use it again, it's gathering dust & someone, somewhere, who needs a new job could set themselves up in an spare room or outbuilding & be successful

a question regarding shopprize pretty please

on Ohs account this morning there is a red warning dot which says there is a temporary suspension.

How do i get this lifted - do I need to contact them.

looking the inbox there is one receipt marked as old dated April 5th, submitted April 6th - could I contest this?

there was only 3 duplicates in March but 5 so far this month - things have been slightly chaotic but usually I am ultra careful - receipts get marked and put straight into the recycling basket.
new receipts in date order are in a zip lock bag ready for the daily uploading so in theory the 2 lots should never meet ...

Mortgage advice.

Get the smallest place you can on your money. Prove you 're reliable. At least you are on the ladder.

I'm on the a13- Essex border. Lived in one rented room with working oh to save deposit. How many are prepared to do that...

Hi there
I think Adenymosis is similiar ot endometriosis, which I know about - a nd as long as you have had all the babies you want it will be great to have a hysterectomy as some of my firends have had a new lease of life xxxx
I ha ve fybromialgia so you will always have bouts of ftiredness and extreme pain but it will pass and there are some great treatments ...its all good so onward and upward xxxxxxxx

hiya, adenymosis is sililar yes, its just in a different part. i have had all of my babies and to be honest after the amount of treatments i have had i wouldnt be able to carry now anyway.

i think now i have a diagnosis the world does seem a brighter place and there seems to be light at the end of the tunnel if that makes sence, at least i know its a real thing rather than all in my head.

My kids are all self employed, earning good money but the lenders seem to run a mile.
Only one couple has been offered a mortgage and between the two of them (both employed in the same business), only £120.000 ......down here you wont even get a share in a flat for that .....they have a lot of savings/ too but not enough

My DD and her fianc! were told they would need a £90,000 deposit here, so they upped sticks and moved to Yorkshire, currently staying with his mum and step dad (who are as mad as us) and saving the £8000 they will need to cover the deposit and fees on a good sized 3 bed house with garden that they will be able to afford up there.

It is ridiculous, we could flog what we have here and buy two three bed houses in Yorkshire and have enough money left to live on for quite a while.
