Your Finance Pages

Today I woke and decided right, I'm going to get covered. Covered in what you may ask. Covered in a warm mud wrap, covered under a snug duvet to watch a film, covered in confetti because its my wedding day or covered in dust because I've decided to clear out my over stuffed loft. Well it is none of those.

No, today I have decided to find a cheap insurance group online.Hopefully I will find a decent life insurance company and get myself covered. Yes covered with life insurance.

I have put it off for so long what with this life insurance ompany and that life insurance company offering a confusing array of products it was just too much. It was too much trouble sifting through which would be the best cover for me. It was too much deciding which life insurance company offered the best value for me and my family.

So off I went to the library signed up for a computer and went online to search the net for a decent good value competitive life insurance company.

I typed in life insurance company. Within seconds hundreds of companies came up. I thought if Im going to select online I will need to print off the flipping pages take them home and digest the information and then go back to the library and pay again to for computer time to fill in the online forms for quotes.

Well I had made a decision that I needed life insurance and as I dont have a computer at home this was my only way forward. So I spent a couple of hours filling in a few online forms so that I could recieve qoutes.

I went home made the tea sat down to watch Emmerdale. Just then the phone bega ringing 'you get it love' and he did. 'Its for you' oh no I didt want to bother with the hone during my favourite soap.

Sure enough it was a life insurance company telesales girl asking forme formore information and telling me what they could offer. I hate being under pressure so I asked her to leave it with e and I will call back. She said she would call me tomorrow. I said no I will call her. She said it was not a problem and why should I spend te cost of a phone call when she could call me. I insisted sayingno I will call you, I think I can afford a phone call. I eventually sat down to finish my tea and catch the second part of emmerdale.

I had just kicked up the recliner footrest and relaxed when the phone went again. 'It will be for you' I said to my parner absolutely certain I was gonna catch some of my soap. He retuned with a grin, its for you love. I put my tea to one side kicked back the footrest and went to the phone it was another telesales contacting me from one of the online forms I had filled in. Goodbye tea, goodbye Emmerdale.....for tonight anyway.
