Life Insurance

As of last Friday (5th September), we have the following insurance products:

  • Car (approx 1/5th the value of the car)
  • Home (buildings & contents — 1/250th the value of the house)
  • Central heating
  • Dental, and now…
  • Pet Insurance!

And never has insurance been so timely. On Tuesday (9th September), Ella managed to bring down one of our KEF Cresta 1 speakers, recently placed atop Gale S50 stands, onto (we presume, as we didn’t see it happen) her front-left leg. After a day of limping and seemingly getting no better, we decided to take her to the vet.

The verdict: Ella had broken her toe. Total bill: £90. Excess on the insurance policy: £35. So, the new speaker stands, which had cost us just £9.99 (the rest was paid for with a gift voucher) have now effectively cost us £44.99.

Anyone know of a secure but non-permanent way of fixing speakers to speaker stands so that cats can’t knock them off?

UPDATE: Blu-tak is the answer.
