Happy New Year to all on here :twobeers:
Hey does anyone know where that series forward control is that's for sale in Newcastle. Young Tony you went looked at it. What suburb is it in. I don't want Th address just a suburb. As have been asked if I could help put the difference back in so it could be driven back to QLD.
Well we've had quite a crapy week thus far. Karen has 2 broken feet. Tuesday early afternoon she was walking out the back door with a basket of washing. I was crouched at the door having a smoke so I opened the door for her & closed it. She was walking down that crapy ramp we have at the back door when she fell & fell sideways off the ramp. By the time I closed the door & turned around I couldn't catch her. She fell heavy & has 3 very bad fractures in her left foot & has a cast on it. Her right foot there is 1 fracture it's not to bad so they've only strapped it. She has to stay off them. She is getting around on crutches which she is terrible on. Looks like she is going to fall on her face. Vickie is going to bring out a walker for her to sit on & get around. Has to go back to the fracture clinic on Wednesday.she did this on Tuesday but wouldn't goto the hospital untill yesterday. Anyway she is perched on the lounge for a few weeks now. Wonder what else is going to be thrown at us this year.
That's tough. I hope she heals quickly. Lachy broke his knee cap in November. He is still under strict orders not to do anything to strenuous.
Make sure she doesn't try to do too much.
That's bad news Jason.:( Tell Karen to take it easy and let YOU hang out the washing next time.:p
Seriously though, tell Karen to take care.
Well, I am moving closer to semi-retirement. Visiting Centrelink tomorrow to put my application in for the aged pension, won't be fun as I know they are not easy to deal with.
I started working in December 1960 and will finish full time work at the end of this month, that's 55 years of paying taxes. Except for a break of 6 weeks in 1984 when I was retrenched and a break of 3 months in 2004/5 when I was battling bowel cancer, I think that is a reasonable effort.
Probably work part time for another couple of years before I give it away completely. So I think I have earned an aged pension.

Put our forms into Centrelink today, everything went smoothly we were out of there in 15 minutes, I don't believe it.:o
Actually, Jason, from what I have heard about Centrelink, I am expecting delays before our first pension payment is made. I bet some T hasn't been crossed on the form, or some I not dotted correctly.
Jason first of damn that sucks about Karen, a bad way to start the new year.
I cant remember the suburb where that forward control was but I am fairly sure he has decided to keep it and has moved it elsewhere.
Well, the plan WAS to come over and visit you today, Jason but Mrs Aus's mother took a bit of a turn and we took her to casualty at JHH. Spent the entire day there with her today and they have kept her in over night. They did all these tests on her and couldn't find anything wrong??????????????
