I'm so pleased. It appears that Sock has had a phantom pregnancy - right down to the milk production and false labour! YAY! I'm so pleased cos I was really dreading not having her around for 6 weeks or so. And it means that next time she's on heat, she'll be ready to breed for real and we won't have to rest her as we would have if she had whelped this time.
Having said all that, I can just imagine Sock turning around and having one pup which will be just as much as a pain as 8 or 9, and much less financially rewarding.
Well the art show is on this Thursday. I will take a bunch of photos of the collection (I'm taking down nine canvases) and post them somewhere with a link from here. I'm pleased with the way most of them have turned out, although of course I can always see room for improvement.
The bloody bloody bloody National bloody Bank have shat on me once too often, so I'm changing banks. The bastards! They just randomly took $240 (despite me having a careful arrangement worked out to pay the amount off slowly) and then dishonoured payments all over the show to the tune of $30 a time. YOU SUCK, NATIONAL BANK!
Yeah! You scared?! Cos if you don't shape up, man, I'm going to take my entire net worth of $500 and go elsewhere! This is not an empty threat!
It's so hard to exert any sort of influence when you are a maddened pauper trying to besiege a castle by filling in the moat with a teaspoon.
Get a new bank man. I have a TSB Bank account and a kiwibank account. I haven't had problems with either, in fact they both seem largely great.
Posted by: suraya at February 15, 2005 10:16 AMGood call. I went and signed up with Kiwibank this morning. Their Bill Blaster account sounds great - they'll calculate and take out the money required for APs during the coming week and transfer it automatically into the Bill Blaster account so that it never even touches my eftpos account.
*that* is customer-needs focused.
heya! hope the new bank works out for you. I have had my issues with national but they are better than anz. I really wonder if the banking industry should be so callous that the way we pick banks is to reel from disaster at one into a slightly less disastrous place. Sigh.
HUgs. I shouldn't be writing at work, so off I go!
Thanks
