Re: How has your day been?
I'm almost jealous! I want one! Having said that, what with a centrelink rebate of fairly large proportions that I wasn't expecting plus hopefully a tax rebate when I get round to it I was thinking I might be a devil and get myself an iPad and have some frivolity in my life..... but now I've been slightly sidetracked by a digital piano which is somewhat more expensive, somewhat less portable but I want one .... I really really want one. I have no room for one and technically can't justify the extravagance but .... but... *sighs*
Now does my sensible, practical self win .... or is it time for me to be daft? Time will tell
If push comes to shove I might contact one of my financial advisers.... I contact my oldest brother when I know I need to be told "no, it's not a good idea sis" and my 2nd brother when I want to be told "just do it!"
It's good to have a system!
Good luck old.sparkles with the interview (or am I too late for that, I'm confused now!)

It was a nice ceremony and we were each given a twig in a pot. Mine apparently grows best in disturbed places- how did they know?????

We did that- DD and I were the only ones who knew all the words to the verses. We also sang both verses of the Anthem without looking at the words.

Haviing finally got it I thought I should make good use of it!! I can also salary sacrifice my new toy I hope
which helps even more, as I'll be using it a lot for work stuff that's one reason why I went for the iPad, not the mini. And I'm an Apple person - love the way I can sync this and my phone and iPod

I'm sitting at Perth airport waiting to head out to Sydney for the weekend. Of course there's a severe weather warning and my flight is way overbooked but who cares? I'm on holidays for the next 4 weeks!

Re: How has your day been?
Looking forward to meeting you Dorothy, and the other BE's.
I've just wasted an hour and a half watching Sharknado. At first it was really funny because it was so bad, but after being deafened by my OH's guffaws I've got a headache!!
Trouble is, there are more mockbusters to come, ad OH and DD are bound to want to watch them.....
