On Travel Insurance, My annual cover went up from around £250 for Europe to almost £1000 to cover the USA for our Alaska Cruise (3 weeks tomorrow). In the end I took a single trip policy with Tesco for us both for £360.
My OH has high blood pressure just been diagnosed. It cost a further £16. I have diverticulitis because I’ve had no medication for a year it was nothing added on. Well worth double checking.
Beetroot powder is brilliant for high blood pressure x
OMG. We bought beetroot juice. You would have thought he was asked to drink dog poo. I love beetroot. I can get a teaspoon of beetroot salad into him. Today I had some left and he had cheese and biscuits and I put a couple of cubes on top. I knew he was not impressed but he did eat it to please me. On this subject. Having high blood pressure for so long untreated affected his eyes. He was getting double vision. All on the mend now but it’s taken 3 months to feel a bit better. Beetroot powder ? Will look this up thanks.
Not a 'glitch' but a good offer in my opinion on Hardy's Crest (Cabernet/Shiraz/Merlot) in Tesco.
Usually £8 a bottle in Tesco - same in other places, but using CC is £6.50 a bottle at the moment. Add on the current promotion of 25% off six bottles, and it comes down to £29.25 for the six, or £4.88 each.

I bought it from Amazon, taken with water in the morning and night. Blood pressure reduced from dangerously high in a few days. Went to once a day for a few weeks. When stable we stopped but take readings once a week, if they are not in healthy range we have it again... blood pressure reduces every time. I swear it's better than meds x

Today’s Daily Mail. Article to say that readings of blood pressure should be lower than previously thought. Funny enough he got a call from Dr this week telling him to increase his dosage of medication. I will get some beetroot powder for him . He’s cut back on salt .

You may have to twist his arm a little x
Actually just looked this up and we can get this in supplement form. I’m sending him to Holland and Barrett’s tomorrow. We are going on holiday so will make sure he takes enough tablets for the duration. Thank you
Just read one of local bank branches closing. I remember being quite perplexed in there one day when the woman kept saying I should use the machines. I said no twice and she continued. I told her with her pushing people towards machines, she'd have no job and the place would soon be flats ....
Staysure cover you for 50 days on the normal policy. Ours was £89.62 for two with an existing condition. That was without USA this time but they've always been good value and have sorted claims out for friends who couldn't travel.
5 years ago we went to Thailand/Singapore for 6 weeks, we managed to get an annual policy that didn't cap the period away, for 4 adults 2 over 50 for around £200.
One thing to think about is that your home insurance is often void if a house is empty for more than 30 days.
Hope you have a great time clippy x
I have to go but may as well be away for school holidays. House will never be empty with revolving returning kids

Funny that eh ?
I said exactly that to an assistant in Boots some time back. I had reward vouchers money off vouchers etc . She said to use a machine. I said I’m not so good with self service . She said I’ll help you . Upon finishing she sarcastically said to me ….see it’s not that hard is it. I was livid with her attitude so I just said that if everyone used self service you’ll be soon out of a job.
I can second that Staysure are good to deal with. Following an accident in Spain/operation/couple of weeks in hospital/sent a UK nurse out to accompany me to UK hospital/ambulance to and from airports to hospital. Bill was £5k. I am horrified that so many people travel without insurance and then when something happens, s Gofund me page is started. I don't like paying for insurance but the reason to insure is for that 'just in case' scenario.
I will also add always declare all your health issues too. Not being strong enough to post this before, but with all the talk of travel insurance. Sadly my husband died suddenly in the airport on our way home from holiday and has had to be repatriated and the travel insurance with the bank have great thankfully. I still have a lot to deal as still waiting for the international death certificate and the funeral next week.

So very sorry to hear your sad and unexpected news. You must have been distraught at the airport. Please look after yourself.

I can work them just fine. However as I'd worked for the bank I knew if anything went wrong with them. Say mis -counted money etc. Id have to phone customer services and wait 14 days.
For what to save them 30 seconds?
Ridiculous, don't blame you for saying

Thankyou you all Yes I have a lot of support from family and friends I would never have managed without them. My 2 sons flew out the next day and the tui rep and hotel staff were brilliant. Also reading all the elite chatter has kept me going. I know I dont post much but I am usually here in the background.
(((Omg spud I am so sorry, there are no words I can say to make you feel better, but the elite are with you )))
He usually falls asleep about 10 pm on the sofa, so I take the opportunity to watch things I know he won't like. I was watching Lost boys and fairies..... he woke up just as the orgy began. He stood up, expressed his disapproval at me watching gay porn and went to bed without saying a word 😁
A friend recommended watching Bridgerton..... so I thought I'd listen to the audio book whilst I was painting. OH said it's pornagraphic and left the room (he may have a point as I thought it was rather funny mummy porn)
I think he's turning into a prude!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Does he know you AT ALL? Maybe don't watch 365 days in front of him...
Di, that is an amazing amount to raise, well done x
I organised a bingo night to raise money for a little boy that needs to go to America to finish his treatment, we raised £930, which is paltry compared to Di.
I was giggling to myself last night, OH asked why. I said Snap's elderly mum was watching Bridgerton's mummy porn. I'm starting to listen to Bridgerton 'The Viscount who loved me' today, so he is going to be complaining again!
If you're in the mood for multiple deleter rom com I've got you. The audio is THE best audio I've ever ever listened to.
I tried our local WI a few time. They tried to make me president coz they kept losing members and wanted someone with a big of longevity I guess but no thanks! I didn't go back.
