Energy Australia turned up at my place at 7.30 this morning. Because I'm special. Apparently we are single handedly destroying the environment. Our electricity bill is always so enormous that they are upgrading our meter to a smart meter. Although the man who installed it told me it doesn't really do anything and my bill may be harder to read. So that sounds good.
He told me not to use power between 2pm and 8pm as that is when they charge you the most. I already knew that but it doesn't seem to make much difference.
He then told me his bill each quarter was about $200. When I told him ours was about three times that he looked at me and said that if his bill was that high that -
My missus would be in a hole in the back yard.
As if she'd be the one racing around burning up power. Anyway she'd only be doing it to cook their food, wash and dry their clothes, clean their dishes, keep them cool.
The missus in this household is always the one walking around turning off lights, sitting in a hot house instead of running the A/C, not using the dryer unless essential, running the dishwasher out of peak times.
I don't know how we use so much bloody power. He laughed and said maybe we'd had a faulty meter all these years. Yes, wouldn't that be hilarious if we've been overcharged all these years. I can tell you I'll be inspecting my bill very carefully to check that out.
Magnified as well.
This was sent to me when I bought a collage sheet of old images. And yep, thats pretty much all that goes on in my head.
Puppies and babies, hats and dresses, men vying for my hand in marriage, chocolate and love letters. Actually I don't want anything to do with that nasty looking baby.
Now what was in that mans head I posted a while back. Hang on I'll find it. Oh yes thats right. Loose women and alcohol.
Daz came home from work today and said -
You look different today. You look really thin and young and trendy.
And I said -
You just better shut up right now.
Men.
Special aren't they? I think Bob summed it up nicely last night on The Biggest Loser when he said men were simple. I don't think he meant simple as in stupid. But thats how I like to interpret it. He said if a girl is ever going to win The Biggest Loser she has to think like a man. Because they keep their thinking simple.
Which brings us to my husband. He's spending a few days with Kimba. He rang and told me she had put a dye in her hair and she had stained her head (as you do when you dye your hair). He told me he had tried to clean it off with methylated spirits. Ok.
I ring Kimba and say - Don't ever let your father near your face with metho. She told me that she said to him - I don't think you should do that, I have sensitive skin. He said - That doesn't matter.
It reminded me of our neighbour. His daughters had head lice. He decided the best way to fix this was to wash their hair with turps. They all ended up at the hospital in the middle of the night because he got it in their ears. And I guess it hurt. Doh.
Oh well, I guess they'll laugh about it one day.
