Supablondie - Hi & welcome back. T sounds like she is doing really well.

Pregpan - Good luck with holding out to 3 years, I hope you can make it. Thats a sweet tradition!!

Trillian - I should have taken M to the hairdresser as well for her cut, but silly me thought I could do it lol.

Havent left yet obviously. All packed and waiting for DP to come home from work and for M to wake.

Just have a quick question really I dont know if you ladies can shed some light....its regarding the $1000 bonus. Much to our suprise we have been paid the money into our account, big shock as we are sure we dont get Part A, but anyway who's complaining! Anyway the q is, if by tax time it turns out you have earnt too much, do you have to pay back the $1000? We estimated DP's income at an amount thinking it would be right, but turns out by tax time he will definately make over the amount, so we have underestimated. I'm just sick of always paying back the money to the government, our estimates are always turn out to be too low when we thought they were reasonable lol. We paid back our benefit at the end of the last financial year, I feel like calling centerlink & saying dont bother paying us the $20 piddly crap that you give us a fortnight, it does nothing, and at tax time we have to pay back a huge lump sum iykwim! ANyway that turned into an essay....
