    Thanks Devin, I do appreciate the words of support. Change is always hard, 
and this particular one was something we were not looking forward to. But it 
had to be done and we will find our way through it.

    Kind regards,

    Kevin

        Hi Kevin

        I've read your various interactions with people here and on the forum 
and I
        think you're handling this superbly  In the last 5 years my house 
insurance
        has doubled in price (the house has remained the same size and the
        insurance offers no more features). At no point has my insurance company
        said "contact us if you can't afford this and we'll work something out".

        Regards,
