Summer holidays are all booked and the case is almost packed but have you remembered the key holiday items? No, not the sunglasses but your travel insurance and European Health Insurance Card?
Whilst we take it for granted here that we have free health care, that isn’t always the case abroad, but if you’re travelling in Europe a European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) could help you avoid a massive medical bill if you had an accident whilst abroad. Free to sign up for and the...y’re valid for five years so make sure you register for one before your holiday.
An EHIC isn’t an alternative to holiday insurance though so ensure that you get a travel insurance policy to cover other medical costs that the EHIC doesn’t and to pay things like a return journey if you are delayed by illness. For only a couple of pounds to buy a policy you’re provided with cover worth thousands of pounds.

With today titled 'Blue Monday' we have some simple mind tricks to beat the Blue Monday blues.
Make the most of the light, natural light stabilises serotonin and triggers the feel good hormones – endorphin. Make time today to head outside in the natural light.
Take some exercise- steady movement boosts endorphins even if its just a walk you’ll feel happier after doing it.
... Just smile! Smiling releases feel-good chemicals in the brain helping your body to relax and if you smile someone is sure to smile back so you’re helping them to feel better too!
Take time to appreciate what you have, reflect on all the things that you have to be grateful for and you’ll feel much more optimistic.
