UPDATE -

Book your travel insurance at the same time as booking your holiday, especially if you have a pre-existing medical condition. This gives peace of mind that you ‘re covered should your trip be delayed, cancelled or you or a family member become too ill to travel. But don’t pay over the odds for cover via the big travel firms. Our travel insurance partner Payingtoomuch.com could help you to find affordable cover. Simply call: 01243 217 461 or visit mirror.co.uk/ travelinsurance and then get your bags packed.

Be wary of crooks trying to steal your cash. Ignore phone calls, emails or texts with an offer of a free pensions review or investment opportunities with high returns. If something sounds too good to be true – it usually is.
