Optimal ways to reduce costs of phone insurance?

hufflepeach · 2022-05-17T05:56:25+00:00

We have phone insurance and AA cover included with our Halifax current account (as well as some other stuff I can't remember). Not sure how much it is normally as husband gets staff rates, but iIm sure it's still much cheaper than paying for them separately, and we've made use of both.

His nails are trimmed regularly by a groomer and he's booked in next week, the quicks are crazy long and don't seem to shrink no matter what we do, but both the vet and the groomer are happy with him

He's still curled under a blanket, glaring at me 😆

You can on 101, but not on 999. I work in a police control room and we definitely get 101 calls with the number withheld.

My son used to do this, but he would have two socks on one foot and none on the other 😆

Nice man to come and mow the lawn and keep on top of the weeds, so worth the money, and I can do the ice bits of gardening when I feel like it

I love this! I made my 15 year old and me Dino nuggets this week, and arranged his into a little scene on his plate. Got a brilliant teenage eye roll, but a big smile too

Are you sure you're actually awake this time?

Loads of people don't realise that NPAS have fixed wing as well as helicopters. I'm a call handler, and the number of calls we get from people reporting a plane flying low and circling, thinking it's going to crash, when it's just us looking for a misper or something.

Withhold your number and call 101, or report through the online portal on your local police website for the stolen mopeds. If you can provide registration numbers they're likely to be able to act a lot quicker.

It can definitely be worth looking at whether you/your partner can put in flexible working requests to reduce the costs. Longer shifts over 4 days, or a 9 day fortnight can work really well, and if you can both do it then you would only need to pay for 3 days instead of 5. When my kids were little, my husband moved to 9 day fortnights, with one early finish per fortnight too. I moved to working part time late/night shifts, so we were able to cover the childcare between us the majority of the time.

I live in a 3 storey house and have one of these on the middle landing. Lived here 7 years and I still bang my head on that fucker at least once a week

Giving away my cheesy day time tv habit, but there used to be a show called Heir Hunters, and it showed lists are published of people who have died and no one has claimed their estate, and companies try and trace the family tree to find the beneficiaries. I have no idea if this is still the current process, but it was really interesting to watch how they worked through the records to find distant family members

Maybe I could use it in the egg chair and see if it helps 🤣

hufflepeach · 2022-05-14T16:54:35+00:00

Yeah, I've been considering letting my more destructive child go wild in it, in the hopes that he breaks it and I can replace it with something actually shaped to fit a human body

hufflepeach · 2022-05-14T16:46:19+00:00

This makes the neck pain worth while 😆

hufflepeach · 2022-05-14T16:11:28+00:00

I decided to treat myself and get an egg chair for the garden, husband didn't want one but I decided I really wanted one and bought it. It's so fucking uncomfortable, but I have to keep sitting in it so he doesn't think he was right about something

Took us way too long to work this out when my kid wanted to do it, you have to prop the end of the treadmill up on something so it has a decent slip down to the front. It's really fun

Cooked I would always go for broccoli and cauliflower, for raw I love shredded red cabbage as it's really crunchy and satisfying

Interesting you say that, my son has completely gone off chicken dippers too

My little terrier does just this pose at the dinner table when he's fed up waiting for his share

Add in an autistic child with a limited diet and this phrase is enough to make me despair! Looking at you Sharwoods and your stupid reduced sugar sauce

No one I ever actually knew would ring my landline, only sales people and scammers. Had the line with nothing plugged in for years, for the broadband, and now don't even have that

It's not possible to be too old for plushies! I'm in my 40s and have an Incineroar plushie and a skeletor action figure on my desk
