Telstra..you suck!

65:365In the shops today, trying on shoes. I am NOT a shoe person..in desperate need of something to replace my fav poor dead converse :( . I loves them shoes…they are so comfy, they don’t make them the same style anymore or I would just buy another pair the same…how boring am I.

Anyway…back to telstra’s suckage.

So the phone rings, private no..Hmmm. It’s Tesltra, calling to ask why I haven’t paid my bill. Umm, if I had actually received a bill, I might have paid it! He says you must have, the first bill was sent the 14th of April, then many reminders. As I said before..I have had no bill at all from you!

Well your address is Glenbrook St is it not, you would have received them. I am like WTF..I have never even heard of that address, it is no where near where I live…..Well that is the postal address you have given us. Why would I give you an address I have never bloody heard of FFS?! It doesn’t even sounds anything remotely like my address..and give the postal address I give for all bills is the PO Box, I have no idea where you got that from.

So he fixes the address up. The account was already terminated because we only got the phone connected with them to make our broadband connection with Internode faster, the line was switched the internode over a month ago.

He goes on to say the new one is in the mail, due in 14 days or they will have to take further legal action. o.O That surely isn’t the time you give everyone else to pay their normal bills. No, but I am being generous and giving you an extension he says. But it was not my bloody fault in the first place you farked up!!

Was only with them just over a month, and after the issues with a line fault and then this. Thank god it wasn’t any longer!

New Office

Decided to rework some of my online business, which means lots of extra work to be done…on top of the work I have been doing half arsed lately. The lounge office was not going to cut it any longer. It wasn’t really helpful or productive and my chair was getting a little flat, the coffee table draws had become my filing come storage draws….I need an day time office! (lounge office will still be in operation for evening work)

Trip to the tip yesterday to dump some stray crap hanging around in our spare room..gotta love a 5 bedroom house. This room is sorta suppose to be the gym, the treadmill and weights are in here…but well..we all know they are long past getting used as regularly as they used to ;)

The room is nice and bright during the day, but could do with some colour. At the moment the walls are lemon..noice. And the whole room is this lovely texture. I cannot understand WHY on earth someone would do that on purpose? I banged my hand on it earlier and it made me bleed! Thankfully it is only in one room, and the toilet.

Jake isn’t keen on painting it my lovely lime colour..or pink…so trying to come up with a nice, not too dark colour. And some curtains so I can open the blinds without the very close neighbours seeing in. Ohh…and maybe some nice prints

I have a small desk in here for now, while I look around for a new one. After a corner unit with some draws ( I can hear Ikea calling my name!) need space for all the laptops..and some cats of course.

First day in here today was quite productive! Hopefully that keeps up!

What does your office look like?

Mother’s Day present

We never really do Mother’s Day..for me anyway. But it can be a good excuse to buy stuff you want, that you probably would have bought anyway…but with less guilt.

I got myself an awesome Mother’s day present this week, best ever! Ohhhh it’s so pretty, and soft and I can’t stop patting it. No..not an animal…

new baby
(it is law that anything photographed on the floor must have some part of a cat in the picture…always)

My lovely new macbook. Ok..stop looking at me like that! It is to soft..I don’t know how, it just is! And the track pad..oh it’s heaven!

It’s purely for work purposes of course *hehe*

So sorry Mum, spent all my money now..your present won’t be anywhere near as exciting :P

New baby

When we lost Caesar (1 yr ago on Mother’s Day :( ) I took a long while to think about getting a new babeh.

Easter long weekend, we welcome a different kind of big eared critter in our home!

Ever since we got Calais, I have always said we have to get a girl and call her Gemini (Holden cars, so very bogan for those not in the know) I was never really keen on his name, but it grew on me and it does suit him. Wasn’t overly happy with her name for the first week either LOL

Meet Gemini! She is a Chocolate point Siamese..she is 5 months old now. Have had SO much trouble getting pictures of her. Little babies need lots of sleep, and when she isn’t sleeping she certainly isn’t sitting still! It has been a while since we have had a kitten in the house, forgot how bloody crazy they are. But shit she is cute!

Didn’t take long, and she had settled in perfectly. She especially loves her big brother Calais (she came from the same breeder..I wonder if they know?)

It will be interesting as she gets bigger, I have never had meezers the same colour before
