Little things I like

The LTIL was when karma is delivered. Driving down the New Englsnd highway I was driving at the speed limit. I was tail gated by an idiot in a RAM towing a horse trailer. Was obviously getting really frustrated as the only small straight stretch was the site of a speed camera. This was followed a windy uphill section. Obviously couldn't accelerate so as soon as the road levelled off he overtook me on a blind corner over double lines. just around the corner was a highway patrol car stationary on the side of the road. I slowed right down letting the officer do a quick U turn and turn on his lights. Karma can be beautiful.

Just got notified by AirNZ that my upgrade bid from Y to PE for our flight back to Auckland on Sat had been accepted. I bid the absolutely minimum amount. The message in the app as I moved the slider downwards, went from 'Strong Bid' to 'Tight cough', but who cares

Too funny

When we went online to enter in MrsK's tax return and it alerted us there was an entry under interest. We were puzzled as there shouldn't have been. Looking at it, there was abt $2 from the ATO as we paid her tax debt early last year.

Although a WCMO moment is that it was added to her taxable income this year.

I'm betting it's also a flag to catch those out who don't declare it and for a more detailed review to be done. Guess that's a WCMO

Was excited to see that I was getting some backpay from when I worked at the University during my time as a student following an audit. What will I spend these fortunes on? How big of a yacht can I get for AU$7.18?

ATO is, at last, prefilling in IAG sheets through STP, which has been in operation for a couple of years now but only just started to prefill.

The ease of reconciling Xero with bank feeds.

Yes they really like the beer we drink up here in Townsville where I worked on 4 occasions. Actually originated in Cairns.

Finally a business class lounge with a family room
I don't like disturbing other travellers in the lounges, but LAX offers a separate area where the little guy can play

When Customer Service is what you expect and more.
Had Hotel rewards points right on expiry date in EU.
Wanted to gift to daughter on her Bali trip (sans familie) but verification code was going to defunct landline.
Emails prior to expiry had got us nowhere.
A call to Spain had us sending through relevant ID and info.
Agent did his thing, then stayed on the line while we did transfer before the stroke of midnight.
He confirmed points in her account immediately and she booked her massages within seconds - one happy Ms Flyfrequently!
