I don't know if this has already been discussed but motor insurance companies 🤬Renewal quote for my car. £405 down from £455 last year. Go on comparison sight last night and get a quote for £330 from another company. Ring my current provider today to cancel and oh we can do it for £280!!! So if you can afford to do it for £280 why the renewal quote for £405 in the first place

I'm with LV, I should change every year to get a better quote but the hassle for the new insurer to get copy of your non bonus claim from old insurer can sometimes be a nightmare.

I'm not sure it's a game they play to put you off going to another broker.

Because they hope you will just let the renewal go ahead, without shopping around, as many people still do.

I know that's the reason and I nearly stayed with the other insurance company that I started with last night, I only rang the previous l company because now it's automatic renewal unless you ring them to stop. It used to be ring them to say yes we want to stay with you. I was thinking I spent all that time last night setting up a new insurance do I want to cancel it less than 24 hours after setting it up and do I want to give the previous company my business again when they could offered a better deal right from the word go. In the end yes I do want to save another £50. 🤣

My dad bought this printer in the end yesterday:


Great deal for anyone looking for a bargain printer.

I keep looking at printers with ink tanks and wondering if I should get one. Currently paying for instant ink and never use all the pages per month. Very crafty of HP the level below there aren't enough pages and to buy extra per month would cost more than the level I'm on.

If you're doing mono printing, laser printers are the most cost effective.
If you're just want to print documents and labels in colour, go with the colour laser.

If you're printing photography, go for mid to top range Canon or Epson Inkjet printers.

You see many low cost inkjet printers stacked up in Currys but it's false economy, these often come with low inkjet reservoirs and to replace them in high frequency will cost you a fortune over a course of time.
My laser is more than a year old and my toner cartridge is still 70% full!

Printerland has every kind of printers that will suit your needs. 🙂

I've been there with cheap printers. The first printer I bought when we bought our first PC 25 years ago was an Olivetti fantastic printer but when the ink ran out. Yeah cheaper to buy another printer.

So called loyalty benefits. Email from Specsavers this week, "Just a reminder your golden ticket will soon be running out, get £50 off a new pair of glasses". So just a few months ago I spent £££s on new varifocals and you want me to spend £££s more on another pair just to get £50 off. Yeah NO!!! I'll see you in two years and only if my prescription has changed will I be buying more glasses.
