Yeh, but did you notice the sign directly above your head. Time to be a bit more adventurous?

Never mind the playground, there was an excellent pub just down the road. I had to walk 9 miles to burn off the mac n cheese lunch.

I shopped around and Hastings Direct were the cheapest for me. Never renew at the figure they ask; it's always higher than it need be. Last year my insurance rocketed up so I went online to a comparison site and it came back with a quote from Hastings, my existing insurer, that was £30 cheaper. I phoned them and got a new figure close to the internet price.

It has never been easier to shop around, misguided loyalty to one company can cost you a lot of money - all the best deals are for new clients (strangely) - so the companies take advantage of loyal customers, which does not seem very fair. It was only recent financial conduct authority policy statement that forced insurance companies show last years price on the renewal - they would never do it voluntarily.

January resolution gym idiots. The place was packed out this evening - it's bad enough that I can only really go after work and it's busy enough as it is without wallies taking up all the machines whilst barely moving. Work up a sweat or you are wasting your time, and mine!
