Make a Mascot with Cavendish Online

Having recently moved house, Life Insurance is high on our list of things to sort out, we already have it and pay for it monthly but a bigger house and mortgage means we need to increase and extend our cover.

Cavendish Online are an online insurance broker with a difference, they strive to offer the lowest prices and therefore the best value insurance. They have challenged us to make a mascot for them, so we gathered our glue and brainstormed some ideas of what to create.

The children decided they wanted to decorate some foil dishes, quite apt I thought, so we got to it with some tissue paper and feathers for eyelashes.

We added arms and legs and lots of colour...

And here he/she is, we haven't quite decided what it is or what to name it but we floated some ideas, including Ellie after yours truly!

My daughter is pretty smitten by our mascot and to be honest I think I am too, it's rather lovely.

It just proves it doesn't take much to make a cheeky mascot and instead of spending lots of money on one, you can instead offer savings, which is what Cavendish Online do. It's probably why they are recommended by Which? and have been Money Saving Experts top pick for over 8 years.

Here are the savings from a like for like quote, with Cavendish Online and another popular comparison website. With a saving of £24.92 a month or £299.04 a year I think this is great, this could be a weekend away or some money for a rainy day. 

Life insurance is so important, after all no one wants to leave loved ones behind without the security of your home being paid for. So what do you think, are you up for making some savings on a super important insurance?

What's Your Driving Style?

We all know someone who’s driving we consider to be a little ropey, have seen better days, my husband and I have done many miles in various cars and driving to France and back we’ve had our fair share of falling outs over his driving.

I think it’s because he takes more risks, he’s been caught speeding a few times and his driving makes be jump because I think he’s going to either crash or be crashed in to.

His new car has many sensors and a few, thankfully, that back me up, one of these is a collision warning, which detects objects in front of you and beeps and a red light flashes on the windscreen in front of you, when this goes off, I know it’s not just me being jumpy!

For example my husband, in my eyes doesn’t start to break when I would, thusly making it feel like we are going to crash. So how great would it be to have something in the car that helps ensure you drive safely?  Something that would mean if he drives safe he saves money.

Would he drive better? I have no idea! Would I dare have it in my car to save money, it would certainly be interesting and if it could save me money on my car insurance then all the better. 

Who do you know who drives badly?
