Very certain my husband's has - he uses extended loo breaks to get away from the three year old!! Suspect a similar pattern may be seen across the country...debtfreeoneday said:

Grrrr, car insurance done for another year. Best price was Admiral, but prices across 5 comparison sites ranged from £414.40-£589.12 - for the exact same insurer with the exact same excess and cover options 🤔🤔🤔??? After much staring at the screen checking whether I'd c*cked it up somehow, decided I hadn't and went with the £414.40 option. £750 in the car insurance pot (people have a nasty habit of driving into me, so I like to err on the side of caution), so £335.60 OP made 😀Mortgage start: £65,495 (March 2016)
