Car insurance almost due

Well, it’s almost that time of year again .. when the car insurance is due and we dig our hands deep in our pocket. I guess insurance is just one of those things, whether it’s car insurance, term life insurance or home insurance. The thing is, if you don’t have them, you’re bound to need…

Nothing new from the airlines

Flybe Embraer 195 (G-FBEH) taxis at Birmingham...

Image via Wikipedia So, it’s been a week since I wrote to RyanAir and FlyBe about our cancelled flights and subsequent re-routing costs, and haven’t really heard anything yet. Well, it was only a few days, so I suppose I wasn’t really expecting anything just yet; but we’re currently almost £1000 out of pocket, so…

Every thought about insurance?

Ever thought about how important insurance can be? Well, most of the time you pay into it and don’t need to claim, and it may feel like a waste of money. But recently, my wife bought a new phone, dropped it in the bathroom and that was the end of the phone. It was going…

Back on the diet

So, I’m back from our little holiday in the UK and Italy and back on the diet. I was expecting to have gained more weight, but I only put on 1kg and I seem to have lost that over the last few days. Getting back on the diet has proved to be more challenging though,…

Annoyed at Direct Line

I managed to get my letter out to the insurance finally yesterday. I’ve had this ongoing saga with a bag that British Airways lost for me in January 2006. When I finally got all the paperwork in order for the Direct Line they came back to me wanting the original receipts of everything that I…
