Re: Someone's been at my bank account

Hmmm, my debit card details were used in America a few months back. Luckily HSBC didn't authorise the transaction as it was "odd" with my address being here in Aus. Well done them!!

Re: airline seats - rant

I might be wrong...so don't have a go.....:(:(

Re: Paying Guest & Tax

Gina is right. We run a business with paying guests and all must be declared to the tax. We have a super accountant so I don't have to worry just pass all the finances over to her.
