I'm sure there will be a few members who will be shocked, but despite my 'tough love' personality, this year I'm coaching a Netball team. Specifically an U13C team. Kona, my daughter, is in 11A ( all A grade teams are coached by A grade or Premier League players), so I don't have any connection...

Today attended 3rd appearance at a QCAT matter to recover a debt owed since August last year. We were engaged to complete a job after a lengthy selection process. All inclusive, hard quote (Very rare I do these, I usually 'scedule of rates + margin'). Job was a floor lining in...
