16 is the average size!

Cece - They look for any reason to bump up your premium.

I went from £5 to £13 per month coz I smoke..... undertandable!!! But yours seems toooooo excessive... I'm 5'3"... 11stone 4 and a size 14/16. But apparently that didn't effect my premium at all with Friends Provident.

Troouble is all the time they have been sorting this out we have been without cover, so reluctant to start again with new cover.

Does anyone know if it is possible to take this one out for a few motnhs till I get a better deal and then cancel this one?

Look at the paperwork - what notice does it say you have to give of cancellation?

good point. will sort it out over the weekend , at work for the next two days

DH has psoriasis and that costs us twice the normal premium. Sigh.
