I'm working all but 1 day through Christmas, joys of being perm and having a holiday allowance.

Anyways, I hate people, crowded shops, and crap TV..

Re: NEW Bike day-ish, GS Round 2

That indicator mod sounds like a very good and sensible one to me.

I do remember looking at the XR when it first came out and not being overly convinced by the indicators.

Re: What are you doing today ??

Got sick of being held up in the AC at home so three of the kids (Jorja, Leila and Haydn) and I ventured out and found a shady swim hole in the local river. Was really refreshing and I was super happy the kids all were keen to get out despite the heat. It’s 6.30pm and still 38 deg C!

Re: Insurance

Yup.. home insurance rocketed for us too.

What really takes the piss is that my Dad pays less for all his insurances despite everything being much higher value... £90k car, £350k house, etc, etc. Even his energy bills are less. When you have money, everything is cheaper.

Re: Insurance

It's across the board. The insurance companies didn't make enough money last year. They need to increase their net worth to cover potential losses, so pretty much all insurance is going up. It's being pushed by the re-insurers, the companies who back the insurance companies.
