The totally off-topic thread

I did one business upload last week but we transferred to Myob online for another business and it isn't picking up Salary sacrifice so am issuing them manually and posting to the ATO. I was on the portal to do the installment payment for May and it hadn't changed then. Yesterday. Stupidville. You still have to insert the same info so other than the stupid look that hasn't changed.


And I just tried to log on, got a Digital Credential Authentication Failed error message and "i[FONT=&amp]f you need further assistance contact one of [/FONT]Centrelink's help desks[FONT=&amp] for Business Online Services"
[/FONT]

I click the help desk link and get " Services Unavailable. This service is unavailable at this time. Please try again later"

Its going to be a sucky day.

Its why I did it yesterday as I figured from now onwards it would be like the Census all over again. That sucks. I'll have a go now just to see. At least I've done the one that gets a refund - the other one is a payment due so that can wait until August 11 I think it is.

The BP portal works so far. I just can't submit anything until after June 30.

Cardinal Pell just charged with sex offences. Will be interesting what the Vatican does, considering he currently lives in Italy.
 
What is the betting market doing on how likely the number3 at the Vatican turns up in Melbourne on July 18th?
 
So sad,

Angle Flight plane crash at Suttontown, near Mount Gambier
Emily, 16, her mother Tracy Redding, 43, and experienced pilot Grant Gilbert, 78, were on board the plane that came down in a field near the intersection of Sunnybrae and Walker roads in Suttontown, near Mount Gambier, on Wednesday morning.

It was an Angel Flight carrying Emily to Adelaide to receive medical treatment.

Angel Flights are non-emergency flights that help country people access specialist medical treatment that would otherwise be unavailable to them.

That is very sad for all concerned.

I really do not know why I bother booking travel in advance.

Tried to plan a few weeks ahead, locked in about $6K of airfares and accom... and boom - major changes, cancel everything and start again.
ooh horrible :(. I plan way ahead, but so far have not needed to ever cancel.....touch wood.
 
We didn't have an engagement party though I think maybe some of hubby's friends did. When we got engaged my mother had not long been in hospital for an ileostomy (and for those who have read my posts, she is coming up to 95 in August). Our wedding was a country affair with mostly relatives and I think a couple of tables of friends. Our family was big on inviting the relos, all siblings, the aunts and uncles, at least 2 cousins from each family. We had about 150 at the wedding and of those I think about 120 were my side.:)
I remember my parents send separate invitations to hubby's father and partner and also his brother and partner as they were living together but not married :shock:
I would have been happy to elope but my mother was so excited as I was the first girl to marry.
I don't think I told my mother or the South African lot until after Mr FM and I were married. Mr FM did phone and tell his Mum and Dad in Brisbane and they invited themselves and his two sisters. Apart from that my best friend gave me away, his partner was a bridesmaid (roped in the night before after the priest said he wouldn't marry us if I didn't have a bridesmaid. The priest really didn't like me and told Mr FM not to marry me). Then Mr FM's best friend was the photographer. We had two invited guests - the photographer's partner and I had a friend from work.

We left from our our own house, got married and came back to the house and I made food and we had a bit of a party. My dress was from Katie's and was yellow :).

Still going strong, 3 kids and 36 years later :)

I picked up on that yesterday and called to say thanks, but no thanks.
we are starting to look at this as well- missed out when all the deals were around a few years ago. Just too busy, so it went in the too hard basket. A friend who seems to be quite across all this sort of thing has promised to give us the names of who he thinks are the people to talk to in Canberra, so when I get them, I will let you know. One thing he has suggested is putting in a small battery, not because it is really all that usable yet, but just so we can be confident that the system is battery ready for when it is worth doing.
