Agreed. I think people respond so much better when there is a clear framework and goal to work towards. Right now we are "planning to have a plan and we are not exactly sure what the trigger points of the plan should be, let us pontificate some more and naval gaze and we will come back to you...

Its sad that even that absolutely pathetic excuse for a "plan" gives me some hope. I have been saying for ages that the country had no exit strategy. Well now at least it shows they are thinking about one. BUT its not really a plan is it? No dates, and what is this mythical % age going to be...

I dont believe Vic hubs are allowing any walk-ins for Pfizer at the moment, bookings only

My other half had his second Pfizer this morning (47). Was a walk in 3 weeks ago for his first, when Vic was allowing walk-ins during the outbreak/lockdown and had an appt at Jeffs shed this morning for this 2nd, as Vic are not doing Pfizer walk-ins at the moment, just bookings. I thought it...

Some interesting anecdotal info came my way today that maybe gives pause for some perspective. My Indian colleague who lives in New Delhi, India emailed overnight with some peronal info re the horrific situation over there. He tested + last week but was only very mildly sick for about 2 days...

Thanks for the info RAM, I have mostly been keeping notes. The update today is that they have finally confirmed that the payment has not gone through to my bank account (tell me something I dont know) and its because it was "invalid/failed" or something. She really didnt know the reason but once...

I have asked for proof they had done the transaction, and they said they couldnt/wouldnt provide that. It seems like the front line people I am talking to dont have access to that system and that you cant talk directly to the people that do! So they always say, we have to go talk to them and...

Sanne thanks for letting me know, that is interesting as I have used their chat previously and found them pretty useless so didnt even consider trying that. TBH, when I called, I thought initially I would be sent a form or directed so some weblink I couldnt find and was a bit taken aback to be...

The dyslexia issue concerns me as well. As far as being loathe to arrange this without documentation I felt the same way but was told there was no way to do it online, no form to fill out and that it could ONLY be arranged verbally. And now that it has been "arranged'' they will only give me...

I had a trip cancelled due to COVID-19 that was booked through Amex Travel and paid via by Amex CC. I always book direct with the airline but this time I was wanting to use up my travel credit that comes with the CC. Anyway, long story short, it was all cancelled and the refund was processed...

Make sure you have done the monthly declaration, I'm pretty sure that has to be done to trigger the payment to flow.

Totally agree that some companies are in the weeds with their service levels. Whether its just an excuse, not enough staff to cover an uptick in enquiries or because they have staff all doing WFH and their systems are breaking down - its hard to tell. I only know for sure what it is going on in...

our first JK payment came through today as well. All as expected. YEAH! It wasn't an entirely uncomplicated process but certainly doable by business owner with a half a brain. While we do use an external accountant for EOFY accounts I felt that this was something I could handle myself, and I...

Same pushka, same.. sad..but gotta remind ourselves how fortunate we really are.
