Securing a free ticket to the showdown!

[Booney]

The evolution of sibling rivalry.

It's not much but it's great to see when your kids are old enough to appreciate each other for who they are and want to help each other voluntarily not the good ole "Do it yourself".

Last night my lads training went for an hour longer than it was meant to, I was cooking a surf'n'turf for him and my daughter, she tells me that I may as well get dinner started and she'll go pick him up.

They get home and he pours them both a drink without even asking if she wants one, he puts salt and pepper on her steamed vegies because he knows that's what she'd want.

After dinner she grabs both of their plates and rinses them off after she forfeited the last bit of her steak and a couple of prawns to go with and then grabs him a magnum out of the freezer while she grabs herself a cherry ripe ice cream.

It's f*** all but it's bloody nice after intervening for many years over petty little whinges at each other and nit-picking, it takes me back to when my brother and I finally got a long, he was an absolute c*** to me for my entire childhood until I had enough and flipped out one day..............at a bowling club on a family day mind you

Ha! My brother is 7 years older than me, for years I never stood a chance. When I was about 17 I'd had enough, cripple nipples, clips over the ear etc, nothing nasty just big brother shit and I snapped, grabbed him by the throat and had him against the wall.

My Mum and Step Dad had been together for about 4 years, he, in his good heart went to intervene my Mum said "Leave it, it's been coming for years". We've been great mates since.

yeah that will be the plan.

TBH just being out with the entire day for morning to dusk whilst she does her horse stuff will make her the happiest kid on earth.

Nice.

It just reminded me of @Booney for some reason....................something about riding on the horses?

If you haven't seen Andrew Gaze discussing the Boomers Bronze medal win, last night, try and dig it up...

Gazey is a legend and to see the unadulterated joy and love that he felt last night was just amazing...

A true gentleman...

Getting the COVID relief payment alot quicker than I expected.

Initially I tried doing it last week, linking Centrelink through my MyGov account and got to a page after doing the initial identification pages where I needed to provide a bank account number. I've never used Centrelink in my life so the account number they had on record was a mystery to me. I tried few different account numbers, including my mums old accounts but none of the numbers we had worked. I tried ringing Centrelink three separate times and couldn't get through and I also tried going into the Port Adelaide Centrelink office last Monday morning but after lining up to go in for an hour and a half I got very frustrated with it so gave up temporarily.

On Monday morning I rang the services Australia number and after an hour on hold and it hanging up on me and then a further hour and a half on hold I finally talked to someone and they gave me the details I needed. The records they had on my profile were from when the time when I was in high school.

So from there I was able to continue with the Centrelink identification process yesterday and I got in. It took me a bit of time to do relief payment application which was frustrating but I got through it. I checked my bank during my dinner break last night and the payment was already there! Certainly didn't expect it to be that quick.

I had to jump through some hoops to get it but how quickly I got it was a pleasant surprise. I wouldn't recommend signing up/trying to link up with Centrelink with any urgency though.

We had very similar experience applying for my wife as we have never used Centrelink, got thru on phone and was told she had to take ID into store, lined up at Glenelg outside for an hour, get in there and told be another hour. Said to girl behind counter we only have to show drivers licence and credit card, she then says need birth certificate too. Why didn't the person on phone say that, wasted all that time!!

Ended up downloading it from home onto My gov, got the $600 in to her bank account the next day!

Same as you, was a bit of a hassle to get there but money came quick. Would not be surprised if a lot of people could not be bothered going thru all that hassle as was hours wasted, especially if they did not desperately need the $600. I just figured we get it sorted now as this wont be the last Lockdown we have and next time we need to claim the COVID relief should be piece of cake, hopefully!

Thought the same Eags in regards to people applying for it, hitting a few walls through the application process, not knowing what to do or having the patience to continue and therefore giving up.

Luckily I've had the time during the day to do it all, I've got it set up now if I need to use it again and it's nice to get finally get a result out of it with some free money!

Glad you got yours.....I'm still waiting for almost 10 weeks for a parenting payment that had me take unpaid leave from my employment. I'm out of pocket my normal wage and these **** can't even process my claim for minimum wage nor allow me to speak to them on the phone to ask what is going on!

Putting all their resources into COVID relief, must be so bloody frustrating for many people with stories like this

Had a HJ’s barista coffee today.
Had a lot worse and compared to their old machine coffee it goes alright.
