    NRAS questions

    euro73, I fully appreciate your view of it and I do agree with you when all the pieces fall into place you come out ahead. Well done to those that have it sorted. For us, though, it wasn't just the money. I had to spend a heap of time sorting through huge documents and playing phone tennis...

    NRAS questions

    This was our problem and ulitmately the reason why we decided to just scrap the NRAS side of the deal. In the end we have a good little IP but not the NRAS $ due to lack of communication and information from people that should have known better. There was also going to be extra fees for...

    Women on SS are atypical

    china, I met my husband in a nightclub. So you never know... Also I go to the gym nowadays and see lots of young people not saying a word to each other. Strike up a conversation, it might be the best thing you ever did.

    Flu season

    No antibiotics are often given to help with secondary infections ie. sinus etc. There has been mention of 'green gunk' which indicates a bacterial infection (Urk..) I didn't take any this time round and I didn't see a doctor as I got 'bad' but not that 'Bad' IYWKIM. And I had nothing...

    Flu season

    I'm into my 3rd week with really bad cold/flu. I had some flu symptoms like aches and pains and fever but the worst part was the cough! Three times in the first week I had that cough that just starts at bad times and you can't stop. I had tears and was trying to gasp in communication to the...

    Has anyone really experienced a family-friendly workplace?

    Aw man! I know I should be happy for you Mamaof3 but as someone who didn't score well enough in the 'public servant entrance test' (do they still do those?) I have ever since been sad for the cushy life I could have had. I'm hoping next year to get a job after 8 years out of the workforce...

    Women on SS are atypical

    LOL :D Good one. Team effort here. My man has to be in control and make big decisions at work and be responsible for 100's of ppl's lives. So at home he kinda lets me be bossy. I am also practiced in the art of letting him 'think' he made the end decision, when really it was my plan...

    humorous surnames

    These are great, v amusing! The only funny one I can remember was a girl at school called Kylie O'Reilly. Also, not quite the same but each time I hear the weather guy on ABC call himself Paul Higgins, for some reason my brain just mushes it to "Piggens". Hmm that one might just be me...

    need help with my cat..

    Shane I'm sorry the nurse thought it was her place to have a go at you. When I was nursing I saw other nurses thinking they knew better than the vet sometimes. I guess it's the same at any workplace. I hope your cat has fully recovered. Wishing you well too, Penny.

    need help with my cat..

    If sneezing is the only symptom I wouldn't stress too much... BUT look for runny eyes, lethagy, not eating etc etc as they would be signs of cat flu. Obviously if the sneezing is one sneeze every 5 seconds, then you would need to be concerned as there might be something in the nasal passage...

    The Block 2012

    Facts and figures aside (I know how you guys love 'em though), on the emotional side I felt empty after watching. I know I should be happy for them but it was like watching someone win money on deal or no deal. It just seemed like a 'luck game' in the end. What happens to the little house...

    The Block 2012

    The Dan and Dani stuff is the only interesting parts of this series. I actually quite like Sophie because yes, she's a bit of a wuss but she dosen't deny it and can laugh at herself. She also, has other strengths and seems genuinely 'nice'. DH and I were cringing last night watching Dani in...

    Ultimate Getaway

    Another vote for Hamilton Island. There is heaps for the kids to do and you can make it as fancy or relaxed as you like. Stay in the family apartments and make use of the Clownfish club so you can 'escape' for a bit. Went for our honeymoon, a friend's 40th, then again, and going again...

    year 8 school assignment

    Now this is interesting and thanks for posting this thread. I found some of my old diaries from when I was your daughters age and there is NOTHING in there that I would have liked to discuss with my male PE teacher (who all the girls thought was a hottie). I quietly worked through it...
