When Phil tried to return either $2 or $4 the driver said no. I guess he saw Phil was rather elderly and knew our car had broken down so was being kindly to him. Nice thought in today's dog eat dog world.Mimsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00249766510078357225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704657209559170713.post-71584272901690664102013-11-27T10:04:02.535+08:002013-11-27T10:04:02.535+08:00I am missing her EC and want her back with us but ...I am missing her EC and want her back with us but not yet apparently.Mimsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00249766510078357225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704657209559170713.post-11246075189446251312013-11-27T10:03:37.732+08:002013-11-27T10:03:37.732+08:00Thank you Rose for your kind thoughts.

Is there a home help service you can call on to get you both to and from appointments and for a bit of shopping? Your nearest Centrelink office should have such information and with both of you being pensioners it should be free, I think. Something for you to think about whenever your car isn't available. <br />I often tip taxi drivers indirectly by saying "keep the change", if a fare is between $25 and $30 for example, I'll hand over $30 and they get the change, but only for one particular company. Their response time is speedy and the drivers unfailingly polite.

With public tpt being out of the question it really does become quite difficult. We are so reliant on our wheels these days that when they have to go in for repairs our cars are so missed. Is there anyone else who may be able to take you to the appointments tomorrow?<br />I so hope you get your little yellow Getz back very, very soon!Rose ~ from Ozhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01908281749611280188noreply@blogger.com
