It was a trivial amount but I was annoyed that I wasn't told there would be a surcharge when I asked if I could pay a taxi fare by credit card/pay wave.
Let alone an 11% surcharge!!

All I had to do was log in next day and give my bank the details of the receipt.
(I rarely use taxis, and It was night and I couldn't see the details on the receipt in the cab.)


Was James on leave or was the Bentley getting a service?


Bronny had the chopper out?

OG at Klemzig had 2 independents at 1.20. Shell across the road at 1.43. That was a few days ago and I dont normally travel through that area so bit of pot luck really.

Makes a difference to what has been happening lately with the 3 servos in that close proximity, previously the independents were cheaper....

Swings and roundabouts

Making changes to our homeloans (split) over the phone and saving more than 1% on the interest rate for one, and 0.6% on the other!

While on hold, having Bowie's "Changes" playing.

Reminded me of this classic:

We saved a considerable amount per year doing the same about 18 months ago.

Seriously, if you haven't looked at your home loan set up in the last 2 years you're throwing money away.

Lol i think i was thinking hey lol

Luckily for me she has even less interest in having kids than i do.

Her horses are her kids and i think its best if we keep it that way.

Now for me to learn how to train horses and get myself a Melbourne Cup winner in the stable.
