No beers yet @TAB  lol

@TAB good choice. The only shares my mum has is Telstra...and that was because she and I both worked for the company. I was offered shares but didn't take up the offer. No loss ha ha! 

I did have shares and when they were taken over by a bank, I was offered the option of cashing out or transferring them to the bank shares. I chose to cash out as I had only paid $4.00 for the shares in 1987. I think I got just under $8000. The shares are worth just under $5 today so not sure whether I did the right thing or not!

Mum studied economics back in the 70's and her lecturer told the class that if other businesses operated the way banks do they'd face government action due to their dodgy dealings. I have a particular dislike for [a certain bank] as they screwed up my mortgage and gave me a bad credit rating. I should have contacted the ombudsman but I was just glad to be rid of them. 

I'll be mortgage free in about 2 months, it will be a great weight off me, especially when not working.

thats alright re no mortgage in 2 mths @ENKELI  went to PO someone said tyre looks bit flat.was on rim, thought car was handling sh!t, didnt stop to look, thought what is this, the 80s ? so i destroyed the tyre driving at least 60ks flat. wondered how one side bald and got wire coming out and other side looks heaps tread ha ha

Good God @TAB  - stay safe on the roads!!!

(and all the best for the interview!)

[StuF]

Hmmm @TAB ,

Glad you're ok anyway!

[ENKELI]

@TAB oh bugger! I didn't realise my front tyres were not roadworthy until I called the RAC for a flat battery. It was an expensive call, new battery plus 2 new tyres. I'll send a prayer up for a safe journey for you tomorrow. 

My job person sent me an opportunity for a part time job, said I was interested only if it paid well. Not worth the travel of an hour+ per day otherwise and diesel has gone up again in price here.

Good luck with interview, I hope it goes the way you want it to 😀
