    She hated he mother and would do whatever she could to **** her off.


    Rick, she couldn't have been too intelligent then, because she obviously wasn't looking at her future or was there more where that came from?


    Btw,I have just contacted my family solicitor & changed my will.

    Nice try Rob, a nice try. I suspect you are not really that type, but do you really wish to prove me wrong?

    Hell! You must have a decent old drawbar fitted to your bum not to mention an electrical plug. Just make sure you don't trip over the connecting cable in your haste to reach the top of Mount Kosciuszko.


    I would be very disappointed if it wasn't used wisely not that I'd know much about that, but that wouldn't give you free rein to blow it all on booze, crazy women & fags ( ie. Ciggies, not the other sort), like some other wastrels/spendthrifts on here.


    Anyway, it hopefully won't happen for quite a while yet & with a bit of luck you may have forgotten our conversation, I think I may have.

    I think the fact that some place stupid decisions with windfalls is one of the reasons for setting up family trusts which make investments and then the beneficiaries just get payments, rather than having sole control of the money.
    Another reason is to save tax, of course.
    Personally, I'd just like to have enough money to make it worthwhile. I've always wondered.

    So it's 20 days until I could apply for the age pension and go camping. Should I do it or keep working?

    Can't you do both?


    Make sure you have a competent Financial Adviser (yes, they do exist) to make sure all the bases are covered & you get all your entitlements from Centrelink. Job done.

    Thats a real tough one.

    Only you can answer it.

    Depends on a million different things.

    What i would like to do is take a year off,then when i get bored,back to work for a little while longer,maybe.

    Thats if they will have me back
