Mse tasks for the day. Check broadband as contracts ending. Decided to stay with BT and saved £2 a month for same package. Vodafone cheaper but bad customer service reviews.
Now on the car insurance. Admiral who I'm with quoted £331. I said this is too much and miraculously I'm offered £59 saving, so it's £272.... Why don't they just offer this straight away??!! Going to stay with them as I've been pleased but honestly!2 -
