    Don't let it ruin Xmas,hope they get it sorted soon.
    Our place got hit in a big hail storm about 6 years ago now,I was working in Brissie when the neighbor rang and said I probably should come home. 460 roof tile's smashed or damaged,water pouring into the living/dining room where hail stones had come through the roof then ceiling.Three other rooms had the ceilings bulging under the weight of the water sitting on them.
    Luckily the insurance company got things sorted fast,though they did want to leave my roof a mismatch of tile colours but a bit of fighting and the help of our insurance acessor(sp) seen them see our way of thinking.

    I am on a roll here....I paid for something to be couriered from Sydney to Melbourne because it absolutely had to have it today. I had the option of cheaper Express Post but wanted to ensure delivery in time.

    Just got informed by the courier company that I won't have it until Monday (that will be 6 days since it was picked up from the place of purchase).

    So Timmy's mother won't be getting her present at her surprise 70th birthday tomorrow....and I want a bloody refund because I also ordered something else online from Sydney a day after the above purchase and opted for Express Post. It arrived today.

    Coat hangers in the grass is worse! If they're not home and new I was coming I just wind it up as high as it will go, got in trouble once for removing it to do a clean up... how they even got it on the clothes line amazed me.

    Oh and don't you love when just chuck piles of weeds on the lawn for you to pick up or mow over.

    Not the hills hoists but the other ones attached to the fence at head hight that smack you in the for head whem your sniping or mowing cause your concentrating on the grass and not the clothes line.

    Lol...I bet you wear a cap. I have nick named my offsider Peg. He is always getting hung up on clothes lines. He wears a cap and I am sure that is what does it. Funny part is my clients are starting to call him Peg too

    Oh I did! The franchise manager is personally collecting my parcel from Essendon airport tomorrow morning (ironically the couriers are actually using a different courier company to get it here by air) and driving it back to my place and I shall have it by lunch time tomorrow - just in time but at least I get it.

    Oh and I got a refund. Decided not to push for compensation for my time as I was on the phone practically all day about it. Pick ya battles I say.
