[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 86423, member: 1991"] G'day, Linda and all to follow. Good news that kt is learning to do her own laundry - you'll really need that when she hits the fashion parade stage. And the gutters - a regular job for us, especially in summer. They fill up so fast! We've already taught difficult child 3 to get up the ladder and do the gutters. Whenever a fire approaches you see entire families out cleaning their gutters. If the fire gets close, we block the gutters with a tennis ball and fill them with water. We had a quiet day today. Of course, I remembered too late I was supposed to be at a carers party (for parents of the local drama class kids) but as I woke with a bad headache today I feel justified in not going. mother in law got a chain letter. She brought it round to show us and I've been researching it. I LOVE digging out scams, spams and glurge. Apparently, some parts of Australia (not our area, unfortunately) are now charging people even for just participating. Our state only gives warnings, even to a bloke I dobbed in who was doing it via email, and who used every email address he had (trying to make them look like different people) on his list. It was just unfortunate for him that he'd corresponded with us a few times and also advertised in an online newsletter difficult child 3 gets, using even more different company names and email addresses. Gotcha! Interesting info in my research - of all the people getting fined for participating, NONE reported getting any money. The older a scam, the less likely a participant is to ever get any return. It's only the person who starts it, who gets anything much, it seems. Busy day tomorrow - husband & I see our pain specialist, difficult child 3 has worn through his jeans which have the guarantee on them ("if your child wears them out before he outgrows them, we will replace them") so I'm hoping to collect - wish me luck, it could get interesting! I'm not expecting it to work, but it may be worth a try. I need new bras, new vacuum cleaner, new glasses... the list goes on. And it is supposed to be a school day for difficult child 3, so I'll have to bring some work with us and hope he gets some done. Enjoy your Sunday. Marg [/QUOTE]
