Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “the last piece of mail you received.” Talk about the subject of the last piece of physical mail you received, i.e. a gas bill–talk about gas, not the bill itself. Have fun!
Hmmm… it’s not often I get mail nowadays. Most of my bank statements and bills are online, as I hate to throw so much paper away!
However, there are some things that are inevitable… Bills.
And Insurance renewals.
The last piece of physical mail I received was a renewal reminder for my cat, Sonu Singh. And his Pet insurance premium.
We are lucky to be blessed with a beautiful, healthy kitty who has just celebrated his 5th birthday with us too.
And his health means that we haven’t ever had to use the insurance, but is’s a ‘just in case’ scenario, as it is for all insurance.
He’s a fully fledged member of the family so he deserves to be looked after, just right too!
But the premiums! Oh my!
It went up by £100 just in a year, and that is even though we haven’t claimed ever.
Apparently it’s his age.
Seriously? He’s 5! And a house cat, at that.
Most insurers mention the 10 year mark as a time you would start to see rises, but not our company.
Suffice to say, we found another insurer, at a fraction of the cost, and the same piece of mind regarding our fur baby.
But I Smile Anyway...
