My happy thought is I got home from parents Christmas visit in Wales and this year my house temperature was 20c instead of 9.5c like last year due to boiler dying and I'm not ill and got another 5 days of vaccination before work starts again!

Just got back from the dentist, £244 lighter from it, why is this a happy thought? It's one less silver filling in my mouth and I feel like I'm getting a far better service than I did at my old NHS, I do have another 3 to go though!

Car insurance renewal dropped to £288 from £341 for 12 months, that was a pleasant surprise!

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

Dude111 10-02-2026 01:59

Wow thats quite a drop!!

Its too bad you cant lock that in for good!!!!

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

Dude111 11-02-2026 10:53

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
