Sorry guys. I finally remembered to WhatsApp the two SiLs and got a “Yes please!” within 20 seconds.
It doesn’t help that technophobe SiL #1 is currently over with the MiL, has been shown how to drive the Sonos box we gave to the MiL, and she likes it a lot.
Family gets priority, sorry.
Meanwhile SiL isn’t sure what to get, so I’ve had a look at the web site to check the current product line. Are you guys sure you want 5’s? The Bluetooth on the new Era 300 (and baby brother 100) would be a pretty compelling argument for me.
Get health insurance as a taxable benefit at work. Have added the bit extra for private GP appointments.
Our local go practice is generally quite good. The cost is the tax on a fiver a month for that bit.
Added the wife to the policy, which is a bit on the spendy side tbh. Wrong side of £750/year as she is getting on a bit I suppose.
Quite like the nhs as a health thingy, but it does seem to have been bollocksed up the last 12 years or so.
Just remember that they are generally only interested in easy treat money making conditions.
Anything with real complications they will send you off to the NHS as soon as they have rinsed the insurance company for as much as possible in referral fees.
Also just found that there is a excess of £150 on the firm’s policy (Axa Health).
So not a quick shortcut for minor ailments
Free quick online GP and AHP appointments are good though
Can understand how it was necessary to pull it quickly!
