Received my renewal quotes for building and contents from the bank so I decided to perform a search of a well known compare the market site and there are plenty of companies offering like for like policies about 40% cheaper.

Today is a bank holiday here in the UK so I'll be ringing the bank in the morning and declining their renewal quote.

I don't bother with life insurance these days. No mortgage or debt etc. and sufficient investments/savings to see me through retirement.

Besides, if I die, I don't get the benefits of the insurance payout so sod that

renewal quotes for building and contents

Is that like for fire and theft?

I think they call it indemnity insurance over here.

Make sure you get replacement value insurance. My house got robbed one time and my mother was in insurance for twenty years and she had the replacemnt value insurance policy for me.

So the stuff got replaced at the current rates not what the used rate would've been.

Well, yet another birthday has come and gone. This year, my doctor asked me to stop eating and to drink something called a "Prep". He said he wanted to "take a look at me". Nothing unusual in that. Doctors look at me all the time.

This time, I had to wear that backwards gown and lay on my left side. But what's the worst that can happen?

Preliminary reconnaissance imagery indicates no issues. The doctor took some souvenirs to send to one of his buddies. Doctors do some strange things sometimes.

Looks like I am good for another 3 years, 3,000 miles.

^ It shouldn't be a big deal unless you go through that procedure and your doctor is singing in your ear. At that point, all bets are off and I would run as fast and as far as my two legs could carry me.

Was great STEED but couldn't get through it all, the couple that run the cafe are from England and ran a cafe over there.
The upsetting thing is after 10 years in the business here they're thinking of retiring.
