a good news piece.
About 2 weeks ago I had a certain amount of change in my purse at the chemist...went to pay for stuff and I was 50 cents short...I had my debit card, but the lady said..don't worry, I'll put the 50 cents in...
Today I remembered and went to pay her back...she refused and said...'what goes around, comes around.'
Lovely eh? of course I accepted...to not do would be churlish.:-D

Nuffin' to say, it's cold here today and I have finally succumbed to putting on the underfloor heating... damn it, I wanted to last out until May or June, no such luck 😞

Morning everyone on this Anzac Day....remembering my brother Harry today. Vietnam Vet.
That's him at the end with the cig in his face. He died a few years ago from Agent Orange cancer.

yes Richo♥
Another subject
I bought a new bottle of Vit B Complex tabs yesterday...bought the smaller one (30 pills) $11 odd, because the larger one was $21...
Opened the top and looked in...was amazed just how few pills it looked like so counted them .....twice....
Instead of 30 ....there were only 24!:O
What a rip off....quite a well known brand too.

Contact the company and complain.
Over the years I have found that most companies will send you a replacement or a gift card if you approach them.
For supermarket items they send you a supermarket gift card, with the lowest value being $5 which is often far more than the item cost in the first place.
Only company that has never come to the party is Devondale....I have had cause to complain about the seals being broken on the long life milk cartons....3 times, and all they do is send a letter to say they were sorry. Once I was asked if I wanted compensation and even then they did not send a refund.

Nuh! I don't reckon, we would have to teach the young how to live without 'em :^O
I was in Dymocks book store in Sydney many years ago when all the lights went out and the cash registers that told the cashiers what change to give stopped running.
Would you believe none of the young cashiers had any idea how to count out change?
I stayed with her until the lights came back on doing it for her 😞
So yes, we'd have our uses again :^O
While we were visiting our son and DIL over Easter we got into a discussion on this topic. So my OH wrote a whole lot of numbers on a piece of paper and asked them to add them up without calculator or anything else. He did it very fast, they were still struggling after 5 mins. My OH had a basic education, these kids have 6 uni degrees between them.
Two very red faces and one smug OH.
