Valentine"s Day

Cliff bought me some Tatts tickets in the big draw on Saturday
night. I said I would never buy tickets for someone in case they
won as I would never buy winning tickets again and he said but
we are going 1/2.

We only won $11 and I never saw the $5:50!!!

Morwell Burns

The fire has got into the north face of the open cut mine.
The same thing happened 5 years ago and took two weeks to put
out. There is thick smoke over town every day. There are
reports on the news that there is a high Co content in the
smoke so free breathing masks are being given out to all
residents.

Also it has been advised that residents go elsewhere until
the fire is out! The Emergency Relief Fund is giving out
$500 to all pensioners and people on Health benefit cards
to use to leave the Morwell for a week.

Lena got it so I went and applied and got it too. But so
many people were getting it out of the Westpac ATM that
it broke down and I had to go and get it from Midvalley on
the Friday 28th Feb.

Interest

Received my account this week and was surprised to see that I
had been charged $113 interest on it. It said I had not paid
my full account last month by $250! When I looked at the
payments there was one missing for $300 that I made just after
Christmas.

So I rang them and the man who dealt with me said his name
was prince and he looked up the payments and said yes I had
made one on the 27th and my new statement began on the 28th!
So I had paid it one day early.


But it turned out that this man really was a prince as he took
the interest off the account and I only have to pay the amount
on the bill and not everything that is owing and I will not be
charged interest on the next bill. He understood it was an
honest mistake on my part. So I was really thankful.

Garden

I have been having Lena come and do my garden since December.
I have her come on Thursday and she usually does 2 hours.

But when I went up to measure the pool for the new liner I
found the way was blocked by brambles and I couldn't get past.
So I asked her to come and do Wednesday this week as well as
Thursday.

January Last Friday of the Month

Big John, Lena, Kath, Kirsten, Cliff and I went to the raffle
for the last Friday of the month at the Morwell Club.

Cliff spent $25 on tickets. John spent $22. I spent $14.
Lena spent $13. Kath spent $12. So all up the table spent
$86. Usually we win at least one prize, but tonight we did
not even score that!

I rang both Don and Meg and asked them to come. Both said
they would need to speak to their partners. Neither contacted
me to tell me whether they were coming or not. But as they had
not turned up by 7 p.m. I figured they were not coming.

At 10.30 p.m. I got a phone call from Meg who said she
completely forgot to ring and she said she was sorry for not
ringing sooner.

It is now 9.30 p.m. on Saturday the 1st Feb and I still have
not had a phone call from Don about coming last night!!!!
