Memory Lane & Insurance - Chicandstylish Linkup

Hiya, how are you?

All good with me. 

I'm getting a tad excited for my weekend away this Saturday.  The kids bought us a trip to Porto for both David and my 60th birthdays and the time has finally come.  I've planned a little capsule wardrobe to take with me comprising of some new and old pieces - I'll try to share them on Instagram in the next day or so!

I've done the online check in and up loaded the boarding passes to my phone wallet.  We've got some euros left over from our previous holiday and we have insurance with our bank - which is really helpful (I always check the small print to make sure we are properly covered) so all I need to do is get a couple of toiletries and pack! Porto here I come!

Our new build is coming on nicely, slowly but nicely - do you know we've lived in this house for 15 years now.  We sold our property on the sea front in Seasalter and made the move to this house which had lots of potential and lots of land!  Remember how I go on and on about the size of the grass I have to cut, well it's had about 1/4 taken away now which is where our new house sits!  You can see more on my dedicated Instagram account Mummabbuilds which shows what we've done and how far we've come.  

So back to the house, lots has happened in the passing years, we've had numerous birthdays - many big ones, two weddings, two dogs (both passed away) and we've also lost special people along the way.  We've had so many good times, and generally it's been a good house to us, albeit an old, in-need-of-lots-of-work house. 

You might wonder why I've been so nostalgic, well it's house insurance time which always takes me back to when we got the house keys.  Well to be honest we didn't get the keys, our daughter did! We’d sold our previous property and there was a short period before we could move into this one so we moved lock, stock and barrel into my Mother-in-laws house.  I've got wonderful memories of our time there and it just went really well.  We decided to book a holiday to Turkey and half way through we completed and could have moved in, pair that with the fact that my eldest daughter and her husband returned home AND it rained for the whole weekend, I really wanted to be in the UK moving in to my new house and not in rain-y Marmaris!  

Now back to my household insurance. and with inflation increasing that too is going up.  Because our house has suffered from underpinning in the past we decided to keep the original insurance going and not break away from them, but I guarantee there's some fabulous home insurances out there which have quoted me in the past and it's definitely worth doing your ground work and getting a good deal!

The photo was taken at my house for my eldest daughter’s wedding. She got married in a local church and we had the reception in a marquee in our huge garden (came in handy then) it was nice to host the occasion having caterers in for the wedding breakfast and a hog roast in the evening. We had plenty of that left over along with the free bar we supplied so guess what happened the next day … yep we had another party! Happy memories indeed. We had my other daughter’s wedding here too which was very similar and we all had a brilliant time celebrating that in the same way - we like a two feerr!

Nowadays it’s a given to have wedding insurance for just in case moments, I’d hate to think what would happen if the marquee blew away or the caterers couldn’t make it! We seemed to have been very lucky with all our weddings, even my sons, who got married with 15 people in Covid had a wonderful time!

So insurance is a big part of everyone’s life isn’t it, there’s always something to lookout for and having life insurance is a must for sure. Wouldn’t it be great to be able to buy life insurance without a medical exam!
