How lovely to have elderly family in your life INAID.Louis is very fortunate to have one set of Great Grandparents alive.

Oh Cookie, hugs.  :-*
We both have our parents still alive, also have both my Dad's parents, and MIL's parents :). We only lost FIL's parents last year (G'pa was 5mths off his 100th birthday.)  :'(

Not a lot here today. A bit of sitting round and a dispute with a government office just to stop from getting bored.

That can always be amusing cookie. Telstra can be fun as well.

Have to agree with that Gert. I get cross talking to the Telstra computer when it doesn't understand me. Then I realise I am growling at a jolly computer.

I delighted my Mum this morning by going around and taking down her 2 big curtains, bringing them home to my larger washing machine, taking them back within the hour & cleaning the insides of her 2 windows before rehanging them.  It took me longer to thread them back onto the silly curtain rail (not round) than anything else.

I just wanted to say what wonderful service I received at Bunnings today in the paint department. Vicki has been there for years and is very knowledgeable and helpful. I love it when someone knows their craft. I have filled out a customer service form and posted it off to the powers that be. I hope Vicki gets some recognition for her hard work.  ;D

This doesn't sound like our Bunnings mcmich.

I was recently given a gift card with a good sum of money on it and when I went to spend it I was told I had to use it all as they couldn't give me change. ??? ???  After some discussion I received some change.
The  man who said it can't be done should not interupt the woman doing it.
