Hot Cash - Live The Dream

I asked the guy in the office.

' but what is your life insurance rate?'

He couldn't give me a straight answer.

'Well madam it all depend how much cover you want ,what type of cover ,which company you choose to provide your policy and what liability you present. God all I want to know is what are the rates .

'All I need to know are what are the life insurance rates for a simple person like me' I didn't mean that literally of course.

Anyway what followed was me spending over an hour choosing a suitable life insurance rate . The only life insurance rate which I could afford was finally settled upon. Thank goodness now I can go and do some serious shopping.

I left the office exhausted and shot to the nearest coffee house to unwind. As I stare out of the wind ow I notice my friend walking on the other side of the street .I quickly text her and told her where I was.

'Hiya, what you doing in town?' she asked as she sat down with a steaming hot chocolate topped with a precariously balanceddollop of squirted cream dusted with cocoa powder.

'Oh Ive just spent an hour in the insurance office getting my life insured,choosing and finding a decent life insurance rate proved a bit of a chore but we got there in the end

'UGH! Boring!

She was right it was boring.

'So what you doing ?' I asked knowing her answer would be much more inspirational.

'Ive just had my nails done' she flashed them under my nose practically scratching my eyes out. Tiger stripes with a little jewel on each one...ahhhh I don't think so! Still each to their own.

'Come on lets go to the wine bar then hit the shops'

Now that sounds like a plan ,I laughed and agreed with her. So off we went.

As usual we went down the reminiscence road and had great fun remembering what we used to wear. The more we drank the funnier it got. We had been friends for such a long time. We had grown up together. Of course other friends came into our lives but no one quite matched the friendships you made as you grew up, in my case anyway.

'Come on' I said giggling 'the shops will be shut' we staggered out of the wine bar disgracefullyand happy.

Suddenly Jan squealed;

'look! look at those shoes I need them'

Withinseconds she dragged me across the road with her. Suddenly ,BANG a delivery truck had come round the corner we were both badly injured. I lost my friend and ten months down the line ,thanked the lord I had taken out insurance despite it being a chore at the time. The events showed me how quickly lives can change.
