Helping families protect what matters most while living healthier, happier lives.

Hi, I’m Daina Cox 👋 I help families secure peace of mind with insurance that protects against life’s uncertainties — including life cover, mortgage protection, income protection, and critical illness. My goal is to make insurance simple, clear, and personal, while also sharing tips for living a healthier, happier life.

🎃 Halloween is over. The insurance horror stories aren’t! 👻

Think insurance is boring?

Oh, you have NO idea. 😂

I’ve been digging through some of the strangest stories in insurance history, and frankly, some of them sound like they belong in a comedy rather than an insurance archive.

💀 A skeleton that needed insurance for a university dance. The insurer declined to quote. Perhaps it was a little too bare-bones?

👻 A poltergeist called Donald, suspected of causing trouble with an electric cooker.

🧙‍♀️ A husband who wanted to reduce his contents insurance after his wife left, apparently taking her cauldron and broomstick with her.

🐈 A 300-year-old mummified cat, a Suffolk hotel and a rather suspicious series of fires.

🦕 And yes, even the Loch Ness Monster has featured in genuine insurance arrangements!

Then there’s a Victorian vicar who injured himself playing leapfrog. He received £120 in compensation.

I couldn’t make this stuff up. Well, I could, but apparently the insurance industry got there first. 😂

👉 Swipe through the stories.

Now I have a very important question:

WHICH ONE IS YOUR FAVOURITE? 😂

Donald the poltergeist? The leapfrogging vicar? Or insurance against alien abduction?

Tell me in the comments. I need to know which one wins!

🌲 Meanwhile, back at The Forest Office, things are relatively normal.

Apart from my neighbours living in a house on one chicken leg.

But we don’t talk about that. 🐔😂

And if you have questions about Life Insurance, Income Protection or Serious Illness Cover, I’m happy to have a chat.

☕ Fancy a virtual coffee?

Income Protection can provide financial support if illness or injury means you’re unable to work, subject to the terms of the policy.

Brenda’s story is fictional, but it raises a question that may be worth considering: if you couldn’t work for a period of time, what options would you have?

If you’d like to learn more about Income Protection and whether it’s something worth considering for your own circumstances, you’re always welcome to pop into my Forest Office for a virtual coffee and an informal conversation.

Well… that was August ☀️

Two weeks in Spain, lots of family time, far too much food and approximately five usable photographs 😂

Somewhere in between I was still building my little business, creating more Forest Office madness and figuring things out as I go.

And somehow it’s September already.

Back to school. Back to reality. Elmsfest this Friday. And plenty happening behind the scenes 🌲☕

Let’s see what September brings.

P.S. The peacock was not a client. Yet. 😂

Well… that was August. ☀️

Two weeks in Spain, lots of family time, far too much food and apparently about five usable photographs 😂

Somewhere in between, I was still building my little business, creating more Forest Office madness and trying to work out what on earth I’m doing half the time.

And now suddenly it’s September.

Back to school. Back to normal life. Elmsfest this Friday. And lots happening behind the scenes with the business too. 🌲

I have absolutely no idea what September is going to bring.

But I’m ready for it. 💪

weren’t here.
Medusa’s story is fictional, but it raises a question many people may consider: what financial protection could be

Very few of us have ever carried a washing machine up a mountain.

Nige’s story is fictional, but it raises a question that’s worth considering:

Most of us don’t own a pirate ship. But many of us have something just as important to protect—a home and the people who share it with us.

Jack’s story is fictional, but the question behind it is one many families consider:

If I wasn’t here, would the people I love still have financial security?
