Travel insurance

We have Nationwide "free cover" included in in out account but they wanted an extra £87 as I have arthritis I said I normally get a weeks cover for less than that and was advised the quote was for a year I do not go away that often :rotfl:

I am still covered but not for anything to do with arthritis so a rethink on that account later

This is what I was sorting out yesterday.
Is your nationwide a joint flexplus account or just a solo account?
The travel insurance is worldwide cover including US, Canada, and the usual excluded places.
You need to pay for the extension if you have any investigations for anything in the last year, had hospital outpatients appointments or you are waiting for test results etc
My OH has 3 conditions so we have to declare all of them . THe extention came to about £160.
Thats on top of the £13 a month.
I got various quotes from travel insurance companies - you could try Staysure, Saga, Aviva ... If you dont go outside of Europe you wont need worldwide cover. You are also covered for 2 night stays in the Uk if you need to cancel.
Staysure gave me the best price and covered everything we need. They emailed me the details and then later I got a text with a discount code. Yesterday I rang them again with updated details, still the best price and then the code made it even better.

So once that was sorted I downgraded from Flexplus to flexdirect - took about an hour on the phone. We are paying no monthly £13 fees now but still get the 5% interest.

Just got to sort out Autoaid now which seems to be £43 but through TCB I can get 12.5%

I suppose there is no harm in going back to the pharmacist armed with his drug collection and asking if they will interact/interfer with each other.

(I just assumed that the docs had a system whereby if a new meds was added to someones records it flagged up as red on their computers - not sure where I got that idea from)

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

I think we place far too much trust in our GP's.

Enough said.
