To all the posters above saying "now Christmas is over etc" - it's not!
It started on 25th December (not November) - and goes on till after New Year. We had a quietish Christmas Day (just six of us), but now we're up to full strength of thirteen and had a wonderful but chaotic time last night swapping presents. The house is full of children, grandchildren and dog, and I love it!
Even the farmers are having as much time off as possible in between milkings. Sleeping or playing with new toys!

I so agree with you Goldie twelve days of Christmas. However we will be on our own once son leaves shortly. But more visits and visitors over next few days. Luckily no work to go too but I know how helenandtrevor feels. Once back at work they remove decs etc. Shops were open, and busy, boxing day. I think it's sad but sadly it seems the normal now. Enjoy your family time it's so precious.

Posted on 28/12/2016 10:24 byPrior to 2015, I was teaching overseas and so did not have a car or insurance in UK. As a result, I did not have any no claims bonus. Fast food delivery driver insurance for up to 36,000 miles per year doubled the premium. Now I have just one years no claims bonus but even with this the premium has gone up since last year.
Working 11 hours a day 7 days a week doing fast food deliveries where you have to go faster to ensure food is delivered hot to customers would be higher risk than normal business usage. The insurer must have taken that into account when quoting the premium. Given the circumstances, I doubt I could get a cheaper quote elsewhere because of the higher risk due to the type of work and increased usage.

Couldn't agree more! Cards went into recycling as they arrived, can't imagine having them on show. One looked like a glitter bomb had gone off
Looking forward to seeing all the tat in our village getting boxed away till next year. Haven't ventured out much but I suppose the supermarkets will be full of Easter tat now
