Car insurance time….

we got the first of the car insurance renewal prices through this week…

Vicky’s car has gone from £1150 last year to £1900 this.. 🙁

a little research has enabled us to save almost £1000 – all she needs is this thing called a black box…..

Apparently this is not something that is going to be happening any time soon so we accept a new policy for £1100 – happily this brings a handy £50 reduction on last year

not got Simon’s renewal yet, but compare the market suggests that we can get a policy for similar price to last year so that feels like a win in the current climate

Opticians…

a tough day for all the Rust boys today….

BOTH Elliot and Oliver have been awarded their first pair of spectacles following a light weakening in their left eyes… They are both for very occasional use – such as back of classroom type stuff. Elliot’s will prove useful in night driving scenarios

Then, Simon has reached the point where multi focal lenses are the recommendation 🙁

oh well, at least we will all be able to see better….
