Well I've just got my girl some insurance. PetPlan (can anybody actually afford these guys, who can probably afford to pay as they go anyway, so to speak?) wanted £57 a month on their lowest cover that covered the price I paid for her too.

I went with Direct Line at £32.40 a month, which was their "Advanced" option and included their "Additional Benefits" as well as third party liability. It also covers the £900 purchase price, and I think it's a great price for all that compared to the other choices..?

Alas, whilst it's a lifetime cover plan, there is a £6000 limit on any treatment for any one single condition. Can anyone think of an illness that will set me back over £6000 in my girl's life? (I don't want to hear it, as I'm depressed as it is, but I'd like to know.)

Thanks for all the advice.
