Nearer family

Oh I am so happy!! I will have family in Australia for the next four years!!! (hopefully) I know that they will still be a four hour plane flight away but it's a damn sight easier and cheaper than Britain! And I love Melbourne so yayayayayayay!

Update on phone frustration

We received this month's bill and, amazingly enough, Telstra had stopped charging us $11.00 for the T-Box. Oh yes. They had, instead, charged us well over $200 as a cancellation charge.

Needless to say, after a mild heart-attack, I contacted Telstra. No more going through the accounts department for me. I went straight to the heart of it and called complaints. I spoke to a lovely chap who took one look at the record of calls on his computer, took a deep breath and apologised wholeheartedly. He sorted it out, confirmed that there had been a huge mistake and then thanked me for being so nice about it and not shouting at him.

And so it ends.

Until next month...

Some fun

I couldn't help myself with this one, it just made me laugh. Please, if you need cheering up just follow the directions below:

1. Go to 'Get Directions' in Google Maps;
2. Type in 'Japan' as your starting point;
3. Type in 'China' as your destination;
4. Go to point 43.
5. When you stop laughing, tell someone else.
