    I manage the same with car insurance - although not to the same extent - I got my current insurers (Diamond) to price match my Churchill quote so got just over £50 off. :j
    :D Make a list of important things to do today. At the top, put 'eat chocolate'. Now, you'll get at least one thing done today. :D

    I hope you still took out the cheaper quote anyhow?! Or do you enjoy paying 58% more than necessary? ;)

    He did take the £309 one - the original cost (£506) minus the saving (£197) makes the cheapest price (£309) :)

    Good for you jayward.
