    Not yet, but I'm not fussed. I have to use my CC to book the trip, so I will just put it towards the card when it comes through.

    OMG i am so FRUSTRATED!! I have bills to pay, layby's to get off, things to do BUT I CAN'T because I don't even have $1 in my wallet.... I get mine on the last possible day to get it, 5 days before Christmas!!
    OOOOHhhh - maybe that is why they did this. The dangling of the carrot, and not letting us have it, watching all the ads on telly, and then when we do BANG!! OFF WE GO TO THE SHOPS!
    I have sat down and budgeted mine to the last cent on sensible things, but on days like today I just want to go and blow the lot! RRRRR!!!!
    I am glad I am not alone and maybe by next Friday I will have calmed down and done the sensible thing...

    I'm getting mine Monday. I rang Centrelink about childcare benefit and the woman I spoke to told me, by the way you are getting your $1000 on Monday. Yay.

    I get FTB tomorrow, so ours should be in the bank in the morning. Ours is going on bills, one in particular, a $700 electricity bill due to a faulty fridge grrrrr,

    It's times like this especially that I wish out centrelink money was paid on the opposite fortnight to payday for my job. We're running on empty and only have about $20 to last us until Wednesday when we get out normal payment and probably the bonus as well.

    My FTB payment is on the 17th, but over the phone I was told I will be getting the bonus on Monday. Either way, I am just happy to be getting it. I don't mind waiting
