I'm still tempted to get some quotes and go through Topcashback.

Mine dropped from £401 to £250

I have never seen it so low

To think Admiral want to charge me £975 before I paid £401

I ended up renewing at £288, I tried the renewal services on Topcashback but the cheapest was £294'without any extras added on.

Went to do some shopping at Morrisons this morning, and found out they were doing a "buy six bottles of wine, get 25% off" - using this in conjunction with the Morrisons 10% off for Bluelight Card holders, and choosing some reds that were slightly reduced, I ended up getting £68.75’s worth of red wine* for just £34.94.

Result!

*Aussie Shiraz, South African Shiraz, Californian Zinfandel, Patagonian Malbec, Portuguese Syrah/Aragonez blend, & a Spanish Tempranillo

Just had my first eye test in 10 years, got some vouchers from work for safety glasses, total cost £0. The eye is alot more modern now, no more looking at a chart on the wall!

Congratulations on the addition to your family.

We have a great niece Persephone it took me a while to pronounce her name properly when I became her Godmother and, years later, seeing it written still confuses me.:dunce:
