I had been with LV car insurance for many years but when my renewal quote came in July with a large increase I went on a comparison site and could save 35% going to Allianz, which is run and administered by……..LV!

A few years back I got my car insurance with Churchill and thought it was expensive

so same as you I went on a comparison site only to find Churchill cheaper 🤔

I rang them up but they refused to match it ,even though it was them .

So renewed through the comparison site ,staying with Churchill 😒

Have a good day everyone 🙂

Earlier this year I remember someone on here recommending a place to eat out in the West End area of Southampton near the Utilita Bowl Hampshire cricket ground. We are staying at the Holiday Inn Express next Saturday before our cruise and will be going out to eat that evening. I can see West End Brewery and Southampton Arms for pub grub. We normally stay more centrally in Southampton but prices even when we booked back in January were high due to 5 ships going out and the first weekend of the Boat Show!

We stayed at the Hilton super bowl(park and stay).

The West End Brewery pub is ideal for where you are staying ,.

It is a Greene king pub ,run of the mill fayre meals ,nowt special  but for the prices,

we thought a lot better than the hotel food /prices .

3 mins in car or a 15 min walk ,easy to get to where you are staying .

On the way there you will see an ASDA , turn right at the crossroads just before for

the pub car park .

Morning ,looks like everyone's in snooze mode this morning 😉

Unlike me, I had the best alarm clock known to man ...Leg cramp.!!!

I was asleep one second ,the next up in a split  second .

That was a few hours ago and still feels tender .

Hope you all awake at a more sedate pace than I did 🙃

Have a good day and take care .🙂

@TigerB The problem is even when the need is genuine ,some family folk

now decide they are ok to use mums/Nans scooter for a bit of fun and even post

it on social media ...

See .. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lj1pq98xFuE&t=4861s

Also https://youtu.be/lj1pq98xFuE?si=K20GLASL4je-WdzQ&t=2566

To be fair they are not alone seen this loads of times .

Hope everyone has a good day .Free sausage rolls? Wish I had taken up bowling now.

Home made ones are the best aren't they ?  Very rare I have one as it would be a shop

bought one.

 As I get older all I need when out shopping is, Spec-savers, Boots, and Greggs..
My life is all Specs, Drugs and Sausage rolls !!!  🙃

Would love the world fireworks contest 👍

All have a great day/ evening and those on cruisers -Enjoy 🙂

Take care ! 🙂

Hope your all having a good day  ,here's one for you folk who like 

making your own gifts /cards😉  Take care 👍

Agree with Janny's advice .Sorry to read about your cancer treatment.

Most will ask you to declare that you  do not have any undiagnosed symptoms,

have not received a terminal prognosis,are not awaiting any tests, test results

or investigations,are not awaiting surgery, a procedure or waiting to be discharged,

from post-operative checks and not been to a clinic or hospital in the last 2 years .

Hope you get sorted soon. Good luck .

I tripped and bashed my glasses causing one of the arms to bend so I had to have a quick trip to the optician to get them straightened.  They didn't charge for straightening them which surprised me because everywhere seems to charge for everything these days.

We have been to our options several times over the years when a screw that holds the lens in place has come loose, Never charged us either ,they are good like that .

Morning ,🎵 It's that most wonderful time of the year 🎵 

When the kids go back to school,that means more room on cruise ships,

well we hope. 

Funny how some have problems ,a woman down our street is shouting 

at hers to get ready ."I don't want to go ,I feel sick and besides all the 

kids pick on me ." He cries . Look stop it your going -Your the headmaster 🙃

All have a good day wherever you are or happen to be cruising 🙂

Morning all ,a bit of a misty start to our day for us .

Anyone else getting fed up hearing about Oasis ?

Even the young kids down our street claim they are massive fans.

I bet they could not tell me three of the flavours they do ?🤔🙃

All have a good day and -Take care .🙂

I had a look on the Etias website. They will ask questions about education and employment status. Skeggy next year then.

My original post was ,do P&O have any info on EES  ?  Apparently not  ..

Skeggy it is then ,must ask the land lady for   Extra Egg and Sausages 👍

Keep checking those inbox offers Josy ..Not long now 😄😉

Of course. I cruised with p&o during the good times for many years and I check in with the board now and then to see if there is any improvement, apparently not. 
 

I post this comment from my balcony on the Caribbean Princess in Cobh. It’s heaven on earth and I’m living the dream. 😀👍

We are humbled that you sat on your Princess balcony and your thoughts turn to

the P&O cruise boards and ships , hope you have a great time,enjoy your cruise .

Morning ,hope everyone's OK this morning ,a fresh bright 8.c for us .

I think this sign should be used in all motorway service stations

for directions to the loo..🙂

Are there English or Welsh school holidays in late November? (I want to avoid any such possibility).

 

Looking at a cruise and they seem to be offering free child places for the last week in November?

I use this as a guide for school UK hols ....

Our half term school hols is end of October. When I was a kid it was called tattie picking, where the older kids earned a few bob in the fields. 

Called Spud Bashing week around here. A tractor and trailer would come to the village to pick them up.

My dad would not let me go but we had a golf course that I used to go to and caddy for them earning owt from ten bob up to a fiver per round if the tournaments were on.

Sorry folks but I don't think that we should be giving advise about taking over the counter meds. Aspirin like other things can be dangerous for some people.  I have an allergy to Aspirin that makes me violently sick and DH cannot take it because of the meds that he is on for his heart problems.

Good advice Josy, Mrs K has an allergy to aspirin too.

First action should be ring 999 or 111 and seek medical advice but if you could not get 

immediate help and no allergy then it could be a good idea .

Due to my health ,my consultant told me any probs ,then ring 999 first.
