blurrgh

So I'm sat in bed, leaving Chris to look after Corin in the hope that some rest will get me over this stinking horrible cold before my birthday on Friday. I'm not going to Carnival now, I don't think it'd wise, given the state of me, so it'll be the 2nd year I'll have missed it :(

I've been looking at life insurance today, not that I think the cold is fatal (despite feeling that way!), but I remember all the arguments Chris' family had trying to sort out his parents affairs when they died, and I want to make sure that it doesn't happen to Corin when I'm gone, or any other children that may come along.

Provided I meet the criteria, LV= will insure me for £5 a month, and thats a flat term policy that pays out after 40 years, or on death, whatever comes first. I don't want to sound morbid, but it comes to us all, and I want to make it as easy for my family to cope with as I can,. and by making sure that there is money for a funeral and all the other arrangements, and ensuring that there is money to pay any leftover bills it will ease the burden greatly.

After all, I'm 31 this week, and I never thought I'd see 30 for some reason!
