Tonight was another "UH OHHH!" ........ several stacks of her DVD collection came down ..... the floor was completely covered in coloured plastic. So it was "Fill up the cartons .... we can take them back on Saturday. I'm not sure that the op shops will thank us when we flood their stocks!
Tonight was a minor celebration ...... early this year when we were applying for Kaylia's disability pension, Centrelink approved her pension .... but suspended my age pension! So it's been 6 months of very little income ...... and tonight they advised that my pension will resume (Yay!) and the date of resumption is the date it was suspended! Even better as there should be a beaut bit of backpay. It will clear the credit cards that I've had to live on.
The saga of Bob the Beast continues...... I took it to a different engineering shop yesterday to get a small job done. But not only was the little job not done ... they informed me that in their opinion Bob would not be approved because the body was rigidly fixed to the chassis! That then led to a day of heartache and research. In my initial over-reaction I assumed that I might as well sell Bob.
My research then took me to the Dept of Transport Technical people who stated that they have no requirement for the body to be rubber mounted! The Landrover Series 2a vehicle (as originally built) was always rigidly fixed ..... so according to DOT Bob is OK. (They said that it's up to the opinion of the engineer. So I have to "shop around" and find an engineer who agrees.
