I am amazed that our mobile phone charges area actually cheaper here than in mainland Europe, as everything else seems to be more expensive in the UK.


Like what? I find most things that I want to buy (food, clothes, books, toys, electronics, shoes - esp children's shoes, gym membership, dentists) to be very cheap compared to Italy. I hear a lot of people saying Britain is a rip off but I really don't see it. The only things I find cheaper in Italy are wine, coffee, pizza and train fares.

I have lost my front door key. Husband and I left home at the same time this morning, and I know that I locked the front door behind me... then when I got home at lunchtime I couldn't find the key. I'm fairly sure that I can only have dropped it in a place where only friends could pick it up, but still (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
So - do I claim on my house insurance to have the lock changed, pay an excess of ?100 and lose my no-claims bonus? Or just have the lock changed and not claim? Or just assume that if it's lost, it won't be picked up by a stranger and can't be identified anyway?

If there's nothing on the key that would enable someone to identify the address of your property then I wouldn't worry about it.

I've just renewed my contents insurance with Bradford and Bingley and decided to pay ?1.25 a month to cover lost / stolen keys as I can be a bit scatty sometimes. The good thing is that there's no excess and it doesn't count as a claim.

EDIT: That would be 1.25 GBP, not one and a quarter question marks. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

That's ok. No wonder I got precisely no votes for Most Helpful Poster. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Aw, thank you! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) That's the second nice thing someone's said to me today. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Mind you, you should have seen me at university; keys left in practice rooms, keys left in telephone kiosks, keys left in other people's rooms... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif)

Eh, it could be worse. The guy who lived next to me left the door of his room wide open all the time. I guess, in the absence of his keys (goodness knows where they went) the huge piles of crockery and unwashed laundry acted as sufficient deterrent to would-be tricksters and thieves!

I only ever saw it tidy one. And then it was spotless. I stopped, astonished, and stared in. I was tempted to get my camera.

"Me Mam's coming over from Ireland" he explained.

I can only think she must have been the most formidable of ladies!

It'll be over before you know it, and you will wonder what you were panicking about! Hope it all goes well. Are you doing one yourself this time?
