To be honest I haven't heard of a few of these, but it did make me think as I was ticking in my box if any off these have affected my family, when you become an adult is death a big worry? While having this discussion with my solicitor I realized I actually fear losing Mike or becoming ill myself.
It made think how simple the decisions as a child were, my priorities were who to dress up as today, will my parents take me anywhere fun today, will I be treated to puddings or cake........Now I'm making decisions to decided to have Life Cover or Not.....and i'm saying this without having a pension! Ekkkk
I bet you're glad you are going to live in Birmingham then you won't have to worry about #34 killing you. Stoke is known as an area where life expectancy is reduced.
