Try and try I could not get Skype to call that number again today.

Ended up calling Marriott in Sydney and explained the situation and they were able to make a reservation in Hua Hin using my 7 night Category 1-5 certificate 1 day before it expires. Hope wife and daughter enjoy the resort. I'll be able to enjoy 3-4 days of cheap golf during the golf festival in August.

I’ve a calling card which does not seem to expire.Put in $50 several years ago and I still got 800min to calll - 2c/min to call US (minutes depending where you are calling. Amazingly also no flagfall or minimum minutes per call, no monthly fee deduction and the line quality has always been as good as a normal call. The minutes used appear to be real minutes as well.

I just have it on speed dial - phone number of calling card, pause, PIN number, pause, pause then I enter the phone number I’m calling. Just a local mobile call effectively to a local number.

I don’t know why it’s not expired yet. But I’m not going to ask..

Ive put all our Ikea together but Im at a point in my life that just because I can do it, doesnt mean I have to.

We have "the great wall of Ikea" at home. Hubby went out for the day and left with with an allen key - he knows to stay away.

Not today. Well not yet anyway.

I am going back to Sydney in a few days time without wife and daughter and they are both sick. That does worry me.

I know it's outrageous prices at the moment - I was going to visit some friends but it's going to have to wait

Yes it is but they’ve also cut out a couple of flights as well.

SYD-BNE similar on Monday. Qantas has cancelled a number of Monday afternoon flights SYD-BNE almost every Monday over the next few months where there is now only 3:00pm, 4:00pm, 5:00pm and 6:30pm at what is supposedly the busiest time of the day.

Hubby: Mum will be dead by then so she'll never know.

Thinking ahead!

And it takes far less space, although uses more energy.

Someone please save me from the forelock tugging sycophants in the Australian media about the English royal marriage next year.

Maybe Spain or Italy next May to escape?

They're too close - try South America - they probably won't give a damn over there
