They cover you if you live in a European country and is an ideal travel insurance if you are an expat as companies such as Easyjet won’t cover you for travel insurance if you live abroad eg in Spain or France.

Staying in this New Year?

A survey by the Post Office Home Insurance has shown that around three quarters of us are staying in this New Year. People feel that it is cheaper to have friends and family over than go out and see in the New Year.

I’m off out! First time in years. Fireworks and diet coke at the local pub and most likely frost bite. Or should that be a snakebite?

Happy New Year to each and everyone of you…

Marks and Spencers hamper delivery delays

For those of us that have experienced the nightmare of Marks and Spencers hamper delivery delays, I share your anger and frustration.
For those of you that are thinking of ordering a Marks and Spencer hamper, don’t do it.
I ordered one in October for delivery on December 2nd for elderly relatives for Christmas. Since then I have had 7 delivery date changes. On xmas eve I was told it had now been delayed further, to January 2nd.
What is the point of that?
Shame on Marks and Spencer and shame on them for not agreeing to cancel my order in December when requested. I wanted to order through another REPUTABLE company but their customer service clown said ” no.” They would not cancel my order.
I hate Marks and Spencer with a passion as they are the grinch that stole my Christmas hamper for my Auntie Joyce and Uncle Len.
