Yeah good on ya!
I have come to the conclusion that certain government agencies need a major rethink of their rules and policies....to be polite.....
I receive a letter from them in DECEMBER a few days before xmas - relating to Possums income for the 2009/2010 period.
Maybe I'm a bit slow, but aren't we already 6 months into that???
The letter states that if his income is greater than $12,700 (which it will be) then I will be made to repay EVERY CENT of family tax benefit A I recieved for him.
It's not adjusted, if they earn $1 over the limit you have to repay the lot......
I get a piddly amount, but over 12 months it will still be a debt I don't need/ shouldn't have.
We're not the 'out for all you can get' type of people, we just estimate our income, do our tax and they give us what they give us.....there have been a few years where we would have been in a hole without what we received though......
I'm not arguing the rules - I'm arguing the timing.
Yes, he does earn over their limit - not sure how they came up with the amount but anyway.....
I sent 3 different emails asking for them to simply send me a link to their website, so that I can change my payment options.....oh no.....that would be too hard, even though each reply said it can be done easily and done anytime.......
Finally they rang me Christmas Eve.
The girl I spoke to was really nice, and patient and as I said to her it's not her fault, she doesn't come up with this shit - but why the hell couldn't they have sent me this in JUNE??
I also went on to say that there is no encouragement or incentive for the kids to work with the policies they have.
I told her NOT ONE of Possums friends that can get youth allowance actually works - well why would they???
I went on to say that we do the right thing, he has worked bloody hard for the last two years while still in high school and through college, always declaring what he earns putting in his tax returns etc and they go and pull this crap smack bang in the middle of the financial year - what the hell??????
So the story ends with me telling them not to give me a cent for Possum until the end of the finanacial year - and hopefully I won't owe them anything.
I'll be glad when Small Man turns 16/18 (depending if he goes to college etc) and hopefully I won't have to have any dealings with them at all til I'm all old and stuff......
Grrr......

How's the serenity?
Quite possibly THE quietest Christmas Day EVER....actually EVER in the myst house....
Christmas Eve at Mum and SF's turned out to be quite a good night, Big A was the entertainment and had everyone in fits of laughter
SF and his sister had quite the atmosphere between them, which I ignored completely.
She arrived over an hour late and her husband was quite upset (as in teary) which is unlike him, he's actually a really nice guy, friendly, usually happy.....
SF was good to me, Big A and the boys which was all that mattered
Maybe he realises that he is running short of allies...?!
The urge to drown him in a bucket didn't come up at all.....
It was quite late when we arrived home - after 1am I think.
Christmas morning was quiet.
The boys ended up back in bed for a while
That gave Big A and I the morning/early afternoon together
We finally got to eat our BBQ'd scallops and prawns at midday (cos Big A was too busy with his you beaut new remote control that replaces all other remote controls and needed programming).
We planned tea for around 4pm - because Big A had to go into work on night shift.
Mum and SF arrived at 3pm and had a game of Buzz on the ps3 with Big A and Possum.
We ate our turkey (one of those big arsed turkey buffe things, boneless) and roast veggies (spuds, pumpkin, sweet potato and carrots), peas and gravy at 4.15pm....followed by either caramel cheesecake, fruit salad, ripple cake and trifle that Mum bought.
Just us.
No extras this year - not even my brother who had to work day shift (he and Big A work at the same place and do 12 hour shifts)....
Usually I have a house FULL - and spend 2 - 3 days cooking, all day in the kitchen xmas day, trying to find enough chairs for everyone, joining up tables.......then a week cleaning up after.
This year has been pretty trying, busy and stressful for many different reasons.
It was nice to have a quiet one. - and for the boys to have their Grandma all to themselves for a few hours....
Actually I am glad, it would have been even harder for Big A to go into work if there was a lot happening here.
Mum and SF left at 5.30pm - Big A left at 6pm.......the boys and I had a very quiet evening....
I thoroughly enjoyed it!
I had a struggle thinking of something to ask Santa for - once again this year my wish is the same, and it's nothing that can be wrapped up (think Small Man).....but I did find some clothes I liked in the end and they're great.....even a maxi dress....THAT FITS!! Woohoo!
So that was my Xmas.....how was yours???

Coal In Ya Stocking.....
Well Ho Ho Ho indeed!!!
It seems a certain someone,
that tried to run the company I work for into bankruptcy - and FAILED.....
Has FAILED again.
He tried to start his own company, very similar/exactly the same products,
tried to poach people from our company.......you know the drill......
It seems he has a better knack at running his own company into receivership......OOPS! FAIL!
the company has gone bust, and has ceased operations......
It's because of what he did that I am in this shitty situation with my own job - we have to build ourselves up again somehow.....
He was also very well aware that I was being harassed/bullied for several years and did nothing about it....
For lack of a better description......Sucked In On Ya!!
Who's laughing now you bastard?

And the rest
Monday was the visit to Step Nan at the nursing home. She was unconscious.
She died at 8.30pm Monday night.
We went straight down to keep everyone company then went to Mums after.
Everyone was fine - everything was fine.
Sad of course but fine.
Then he started arking up about everything his sister had said (after she'd gone), every decision that was made, what was going in the coffin....and so on....
Tuesday was Big A's birthday - we'd planned a quiet bbq for tea with PB and kids.
Then Mum and SF were added - oh and my niece as they were babysitting AGAIN.
Then SF's sister, husband and son/daughter in law were added.
Then my brother.
Then my step brother, his wife and their little girl.
So I ended up cooking for 18.
SF didn't speak to me much.
Wednesday was quiet.
Except Possum found out that
a: he didn't get the traineeship :(
b: he passed his TCE :)
Thursday was the usual work.
Friday the funeral.
The atmosphere was awful.
The 'family room' that you wait in before the funeral didn't have strictly family, and SF's other step daughter was in there, along with other people that weren't 'family'......we just grabbed a seat with everyone else.
There weren't many people there.
Unfortunately I can sense what people are thinking/feeling.
I felt like shouting at them 'I'm sorry I'm not perfect' - because I hadn't been to visit step nan at the nursing home.
This is not coming from guilt, because I don't feel guilty at all for not visiting.
If I had started visiting her my 'motivation' would be questioned......
Barely anyone spoke to us, aside from Mum, SF's sister and husband, and their sons.
You could cut the air with a knife.
SF ignored us.
We left after about 10 minutes at the wake.
Funerals aren't the best of places but the atmopsphere was terrible.
I felt like I shouldn't have been there.

But anyway
I shall endeavour to keep my head up and not allow him to ruin another christmas/party/whatever.
We have to go to their house for xmas eve where sparks will no doubt fly when he starts on with his 'will' bullshit with his sister.
I might have to take her side.........ha ha ha ha!
If he is ok to me I'll be civil, because I am better than that. If he wants to keep ignoring me fine....I can do ignoring.
I have no idea WHAT Mum was thinking when she got with him, I really don't.
I may have actually voiced this opinion in the past.
I mean, the guy stole his 'best mates' wife (money orientated if you ask me).
Told her once he had her moved in that neither my brother or I were EVER to live under his roof (fuck you buddy I was only 16).
Then a few years later proceeded to move his own son into their house for a few years....n ot my SB's fault and I don't hold it against him at all.
This is just the start/tip of the iceberg of the shit he's pulled over the years.
He's one of these that you ask how he is and he gets all "Ooooh (woe is me) still above ground" or "So - so" and you feel like slapping the shit out of him - why the fuck can't he just say "Good" for once or "Well, thanks".........
He is paranoid as hell and thinks everyone is 'out to get him' as far as rip him off/break into his house/crack onto his wife (oh no wait, isn't it him that does that???), steal Mums underwear off the line (I know, you'd have to be a freak to come up with this shit), look through their drawers if they're not home - no really, I mean it.
He buys stuff and then never uses it.
It gets wrapped all in plastic and shit and preserved, or it sits there and if anyone even dare breathe on it he goes off his nut - say like his shitty stereo speakers.
Once we didn't go around there for nearly 12 months because he carried on so much every time one of the boys moved near his stupid speakers.
Then there was the episode with Small Man, the weekend I went away for work. He got the boy up at his shack and gave him a massive nasty lecture on how 'if he keeps going the way he is he won't live until he's 20' and that 'him being at home and being overweight and not going to school was affecting his parents marriage' and that 'he should eat what everyone else eats it's not fair that his mother has to make different food for him' and so on.
I was LIVID.
I am still LIVID - there are many things I can try and forgive, this is NOT one of them.
The irony? My niece (5) is also a very fussy eater.
She has been staying with Mum and SF A LOT - as I have posted before.
They came for Big A's birthday the other night - and guess what???
Mum had to bring chicken nuggets to cook for her.............but suddenly it's ok, as long as it's not Small Man.
He is also sexist, racist and a raging hypocrite.......
I have tolerated him for Mum's sake for nearly 20 years.
I'm done.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Add to the week (Sunday) my catering for 70 people for our xmas party - it went off without a hitch - what a great day :)
8kg coleslaw, 8kg potato salad, 6kg hamburgers (all handmade, even the salad dressings), 6kg sausages, 6kg rump steak, 8 loaves of bread, 25 lolly bags, 40 ripple cakes, 40 fruit salads......96 cans of cordial......
We took out all of the awards again this year - I got district manager of the year, then one of my guys took out top team leader of the year, and my other guy got runner up :)
More tomorrow,

Unrest
Was going to post properly but I can't really find the words at the moment.
A death in the family (it's ok we weren't close) and a great deal of unrest that has followed.
Finding out that my 'place' isn't really my place, and feeling like I don't actually fit in/feel like I belong with any of the families, despite being the only one to accept/be the bridge between step families and actually TRY.....
My SF is behind most of it, and his mother (technically my Step Nan) just died (she was 89, it was expected) so it's not really the time to bring it up.
He is creating a division, and I think he knows exactly what he's doing.
Playing favourites with the kids, ignoring me but still speaking to Big A fine........
We are all being played off against each other, me against my brother, me against mum etc etc
he is trying to drive a wedge in there.
It makes me miss my Dad so much more, I actually cried talking about Dad in front of Big A, my brother and PB tonight.....haven't done that in a while.
I have cried at least once every day for the last week.......
He is just about to create a shit storm over his mothers will (cos he's all about wills and money and shit as you know from previous posts) with his sister......
Christmas is going to get interesting.......

A long week
It has been.
So anyway - the tooth came out after a shitload of gas and 4 anaesthetics.
A $530 bill (thank god for medibank private)
A lovely young man to drive me home after (Possum).
The work dinner was nice, the food was average but I actually knew everyone there aside from one girl......gee it makes it so much easier!!! I think I may have even talked the most!! Social butterfly and all that *ahem* ha ha!
We went to the casino after and I actually won!! $220!! YAY!
Paid for the dentist - ha ha!
Sunday we took of for Hobart.
Went and saw Small Man's mate (the one who looks after his Mum) and dropped off his new computer. Young man had saved up for months, and last time he was here he gave the $ to Big A to order/build him a new computer.
We were excited to be able to give it to him.
Went and visited my Grandparents, always a pleasure, Pop is a crack up! The boys are highly amused. He and Small Man have a great bond, Small Man said he could sit and talk to him all day - he loves the war stories especially. As he said, there will be no-one to tell the stories soon....
Monday was the presentation day.
Very well done, it is good that distance education caters for those with a short attention span!! Not like a lot of school presentations we've been to that go on and on and on.
Small Man's mate received an award for outstanding service within the DET community - a cheque for $50 - I was so pleased for him, it's the least he deserves for caring for his Mum like he does.
We had a spectacular lunch (even if we did have to que up for bloody ages, and by the time we got to the front of the line I felt sick I was so hungry!).
Roast meat, baked veggies, salads, cold meat and the nicest pork crackle I've had in years :)
Desserts were cheesecake, pavlova and Christmas pudding with custard.
I played it safe (almonds, bloody almonds...they are often in cheesecake base and Xmas pudd) and had a little bowl of custard.
I took everything down to make lunch for Small Man and Possum, then Small Man's mate decided he'd like salami/swiss cheese with ranch dressing rolls also (that being his staple diet when he comes to stay) - so the boys were set :)
Had a lovely time with Small Man's other friend's (AJ) Mum.
AJ was grade ten this year so was whisked away for a leavers lunch somewhere.
It's lovely the effort they go to for the young people to make it special.
I'm not sure how I feel about next year - on the one hand I'd like him to have the big high school leavers dinner, but then, they are not his mates any more - he doesn't share all of the memories with them that he does with his teachers and friends now.......dilemmas! Watching him interact with everyone I realised that this is his school now, he fits.
I will see how he feels....either way he will be doing distance ed again at least for the first term next year, possibly all year, possibly part time at the high school, we'll see.
Some VERY EXCITING NEWS!!!
It doesn't rain it pours for old Possum.
First day back at work yesterday with a 7am start........OUCH....ha ha!
Yesterday morning we receive a phone call from one of the job agencies he's applied for a job through....
'Possum hasn't got a full time job yet?' the caller asks Big A when he tells them he's at work
'No, not yet' says Big A
'Good, we'd like to interview him for the IT traineeship as soon as possible'
Long story short Possum finished work a bit earlier than we expected, rang the guy and went for an interview at 4.15pm yesterday!!
45 minutes (a literacy and numeracy test later) he comes out grinning from ear to ear - he is being put on the short list for a second interview at the high school that is offering the traineeship :)
The job is exactly what he wants to do.........fingers crossed for him......!!
And me, well this 'where the tooth used to be' ache isn't quite where I wanted it to be.
I hadn't slept for more than a few hours at a time for a week, until we got back Monday night and all I want to do is sleep now......
I have RSVP's for just over 60 people for the Xmas party Sunday - I've got to get cracking.......perhaps not sitting here in my dressing gown might be a good start....I dunno!
I will call it designated planning time - I have made lists in my head and am mentally prepared......
If I'm no better tomorrow I'll go back to the million dollar man and see what he reckons.....
stupid bloody appointments driving me round the twist......

Bugger
My tooth isn't getting any better. The pain is doing my head in.
I am going to try and get my order done and delivered tonight, and get an emergency appointment with the dentist tomorrow.
Then hopefully will be ok for Big A's work dinner Friday night.

I am going to try and get my order done and delivered tonight, and get an emergency appointment with the dentist tomorrow.
Then hopefully will be ok for Big A's work dinner Friday night.

Big Boobs? Don't go dress shopping then...
What the hell do people with breast implants do???
Bloody hell, went shopping for a maxi dress today :(
In a retail shop even, you know, where they run around and bring you stuff....jeez haven't done that in YEARS!!!!
So anyway to no avail - nothing fucking fit.
If it fits in the top it's too big in the bottom, or it fits in the bottom and is ultra skin tight porn star style disgusting in the top..........
The only thing that was gunna fit was a plain black "Oh yeah ok I'll settle for this then" number which I was not paying $130 for........no way
Stuff it then I'll wear jeans and a goddamn tent Friday night................................
But hey - I filled in a quiet afternoon for the shop assistant ladies, who were very nice I should add (and like genuine nice not that 'I'm being nice cos I have to type of nice')
