@Emelia8 Yes am missing walks with neighbour :(. Night walks are the best walks to have .... has a totally different feel to it than a walk in the day time. Bunny is on the mend. Have him here with me now. Under my bed chewing a cardboard box which he enjoys :Dxxx.

@TABs Can you order in a pizza as a treat. Do you have dominoes? I know they have a strict isolation policy and put the pizza at the door then knock and when you open run away lol.

Re: Taking the plunge
friend who had been on dsp for decades says just dont take no for an answer and keep trying, also know someone who got on it few years back under new rules smae thing just kept getting more and more info from doctor think nearer get to 60 helps too
I got pension card couple years ago but still have to be on newstart, even if you could get card it helps they paid $300 off power in one hit after covid plus get reduced rego power, water etc @Shaz51 hard to live on newstart need to spend savings, but could organise work around it, say work 2 weeks then 2 weeks off and they pay

Re: Taking the plunge
@TABs banned from dominoes?? how did you get banned from dominoes? or shouldnt I ask lol :)? I love hot chips. One of my favourite meals. Stupid gov dole card sounds ridiculous..... am angry they (the fed govern) may force people on benefits to have vaccine when it becomes available or no benefits., I dont want a vaccine. I dont trust it particularly if it is not made in australia.****** me right off tbh.
