I use GoodtoGOinsurance - they are on TCB and have always paid out cuickly. They specialise in insurance to cover various medical conditions (DH has prostate cancer amongst other things). Might be worth looking at for the future - prices are fair and they do cover cruises (some companies do not).

Saga insurance is cheap and really good for medical conditions - but only when you are going on holiday with Saga. If you want cover for holidays/trips booked elsewhere, they use a different insurer and they are REALLY pricy.

Thanks, Just tried for a quote and was more than double for my saga one.
Not going on holiday with saga. Its just a plane and staying with relatives.

ETA just checked on mymoneysupermarket quotes that I did the other day and the MSM quote is £200 cheaper than the TCB quote for goodtogo that I did just now.
Think cb with TCB would have been about £100 on my quote.

Also my Saga one has come down £50 since I bought it the other day. What are they all playing at :eek:

It might not be the same in your area but when my Dad had his fall he was taken to a care home - he was assigned a social worker who organised it all - and he had the first 6 weeks with no fee. That helped greatly, gave us time to sort things out.
As it turned out although I wanted him to go back home he was determined to stay in the home so that's what happened.
He was self funding - you don't have to have very much money to be above the limit where you have to pay your own care home fees or at least make a contribution towards them. Mind you that was 4 years ago so I don't know if its any different now ...

Mum gets 6 weeks free.

But she keeps saying she wants to go home we will have to see how she goes .

Good morning lovely peoples :wave:




tweets :A I'm so sorry to hear about your Mam I know how stressful and draining it will be on yourself as I went through similar with mine. Hoping for a speedy full recovery, and take care of yourself :A




Sarah :A - So pleased to hear your Dad is feeling better, but so sorry to hear your OH needs yet another op sincerely hope it will be the last :A

My blood results have come through from last weeks Oncology appointment - I thought I had mis-heard, but after telling me 3 times, I am happy to say that they are the best since my diagnosis :j:j:j

So thank you Elite :A for your kind words and good wishes, they have had an effect and I am most grateful

I was told to " Go out and have the best Summer ever" So the recent scan and blood results have given me the confidence to book a lovely family cruise

I don't normally find wombles - but yesterday I was just about to get a trolley, at Sainsburys, when I felt I had stood on something. I looked down to find I was standing on a whole cucumber! I can't understand how I missed seeing it before standing on it A shame really as I need one for the Vietnamese fish salad I'm making for dinner

Hope everyone has a lovely day :A

Thank you JTS

Fantastic news for you

Hi which insurance did you go with in the end. I've been getting quotes too as going to far east next month and OH has severe COPD and I have history of BC, hip replacement, diabetes
There was offer on either TCB or quidco for 30% off Saga. But when I got a quote it was £900+
Went through one of the insurance comparison site and Saga came top with £550. Same insurance. So I went with the insruance comparison site as at least I have the "cashback" already, whereas would've had to wait for TCB/quidco .

Also, where did you get your fence paint. Was it a bargain somewhere

Hi gocat :A
I went with Boots Travel, I made a rookie mistake though

The 20% Cashback tracked at a much lower figure than I expected, until I read the small print and saw that Cashback isn't paid on the increased amount of premium for "medical loadings"

I'm not sure then if I get Boots Advantage points for the full spend.

Alas, I haven't found a bargain for the fence paint - I"ll have to have a mooch around Trago Mills.

I think I have now caught up on all the news

tweets oh dear! poor mum, but you never know she may like being in her new home ..is staying there an option?- she would forever be asking you to donate prizes for the bingo sessions....
life doesn't get any easier does it Sarah, but I think we are able to cope better, as you obviously do...by sharing with your elite family:)
pleased sarah you finally got your wages from sd, after all the bargains you have shared with us...but be careful don't jeopardise your job for us
cjj- I have no idea, but im sure googling will throw up some advice..and good luck, getting an interview is such an achievement with so many candidates after the same job...and look how far you have come...it wasn't so long ago when we were all boosting your confidence for your last/first job interview in years:)
gosh there are so many I could comment on, but time has got the better of me, housework is calling...
but Di I loved your post this morning, that made me chuckle

No mum is adamant she is going home .

Well she will need help our tweets is refusing to be run ragged I have already told them in home that.

Hi

I'm okay and taking it day by day. I may have to have a few more operations but for the moment just trying to enjoy life.

I've booked a family break to Genoa in Italy so looking forward to that. My first trip since my cancer appeared in 2015.

Thanks for asking and really appreciate the care and affection I get from this forum family.

It helps alot and so does the wine from the glitch. :beer:

I am always looking out for your updates NG glad you have booked a trip
