This is definitely a good news story

Be good to see some Australian Mining billionaires step up to the plate on philanthropy. Won't happen tho. Too busy infighting with relatives and promoting lower wages for workers.

I’m a fan of Twiggy, not the other.

Got a new job 2 years ago because they offered a 4-day work week, and it has greatly improved my life in so many ways. One of the LTIL is that I have to work on my day off to fill in for someone, which will give me a 4-day weekend the following week. So I booked a No Reason weekend at the Gold Coast with J flights, 5 star accommodation, and car hire, for $150 and a bunch of points.

LTIL - getting an e-mail from Telstra saying I had some business rewards points expiring in 6 months. I was completely oblivious to the accumulation - found I had enough to get a new Apple Watch 9 for 1/4 the cash cost, delivery included. Done. (I know a 10 is coming out soon-ish, but I never wait/go for the latest tech model. My current watch is the 6 series ...)

Seriously LTIL - reading QF stuff ups - am I sick?

PayPal. I use them a lot especially where companies don't accept Amex. Just yesterday I was due a refund. Instead of $350 USD I received $50. I immediately set up a dispute as dealing with the international company was a waste of time. Within the hour PayPal escalated the dispute. Today - next day - settled in my favour. I find Amex excellent too.
