Good morning beautiful people
Can any of you beauts pm me with a guide for the kids nectar trip please tia
Mrs Ids, sorry to hear about your burglary.
Your grandmother's bracelet that they stole, was it gold because if so that alone would probably cost £350 to replace. What kind of value was your husband's watch? I'd go to a local jeweller or if you want to pm me the pics I'm going to work shortly I can get a rough valuation for you.
As someone mentioned it will probably not affect your premium next year.
Plus replacing the damaged doors etc.
If your jeweller is good he'll get you a good amount back for your jewellery.
We all pay our insurance and then they get away with not paying out because they charge such a high excess.
Worth bearing in mind for next year, if you go onto comparethemarket type of site you can keep editing your quote, you'll be surprised that lowering your excess doesn't always affect your premium we've had years where our voluntary excess is nil.
Good luck0 -

I saw some real Christmas trees in HB, £9.99 and the trees were about 1.75m. They were a really good shape and smelt piney.0 -

I got mine in early January of 2016, it is still running well but then I am not a teenager lol.
OH says she needs i5 but I have no idea even what this means. She plays on the Simms, Minecraft and a few others, but as she is 14, she may start on more complicated ones soon.0 -

OK, this is so mean. I have just found a lovely laptop on Ebay in Argos Clearance. I so wish I was after a new laptop

Other than that, do you know how much of her hard disc she has used? There is some cheap ones here, but all low on hard disc, and it is not so easy to add extra hard drive to laptops. Of course an external hard disc could hold a lot, but that adds extra cost.

Basically with the chips, i3 is so many operations per second, i5 is a greater number, i7 is even greater.What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare0 -
