In true Emma style I had left my car insurance renewal to the very very last minute. In fact, I think it expires at midnight tonight! Nothing like living on the edge eh.
I had received my renewals notice from Diamond, my current insurer, weeks ago but it's been sitting in a drawer at home.

WHY DID I CHOOSE DIAMOND?

I used to be insured ...
