The car

We searched around 40 car yards for this car, I don't like car salesmen much after that day either, you tell them what u r looking for how much u want to spend and they show you cars that r $5000 over ur limit,lol oh well won't b looking for a car for a while now so that's a good thing.

Well after 2 weeks of NRMA stuffing us around, we finally have our new car... We learnt 1 valuable lesson from the whole car insurance issue DON'T TRUST NRMA ... first off they sent the check to the wrong address, then the next cheque we couldn't deposit into the bank, so we arrange for the money to b deposited into a bank account and low and behold NRMA couldn't even get that right the first deposit was sent back by the bank for reasons unknown, then we were told the money would b in the bank by Monday as we rang on Friday to see where the money was.... well monday morning we went to get the cheque for the car yard and the money wasn't there so home again another phone call to NRMA to b told yes the money is there it was accepted by the bank Sunday, So we waited and to my horror when the postman came another cheque had arrived from NRMA sent FRIDAY... I was livid at this stage and rang then up and said now don't lie to me I am sick of the bullsh!t that NRMA have given me, well the girl went and looked and said no the money is definately in the bank account and I then asked y was another cheque sent well the poor lady couldn't answer me on that just told me to destroy it BUT I am keeping it as a momento of what idiots NRMA really r ....lol
I went there today to claim back my 3rd party insurance and wow the lady was so helpful, after she finished with the ctp she said to me oh u don't have ur home insurance with us, so I told her no we don't and we won't be back for the car insurance either and I told her what happened she was shocked that they could make that many mistakes....lol
Anyway here is our new car, Holden commodore executive 2001 model.

My Car!!

Well I got the phone call this afternoon saying my car had been found but unfortunately it had been completely destroyed by fire, I didn't even react bad to the call as I knew deed down I was never getting it back been to long, The police man said u don't sound shocked and I said well I did want my car back but I really didn't think it would come back.
We went for a drive to where it was and I couldn't believe it was my car I really thought they had the wrong car until we saw the rego plates, They left the stereo and stacker in the car but took all our fishing rods and gear.
I must admit all I wanted to do was cry but that wasn't bringing my car back.

Not Happy Jan!!

Well yesterday I had a wonderful day @ work, I finished @ 6pm and went into coles to pick up some shopping when my phone rang ... It was neale, He goes... the car just got stolen, I've gone from where, He said the driveway at home, I used some choice words and then hung up and called the police.
I explained to the lady that my car was just stolen from my driveway and she goes did u see who took it and I said well no I was at work my son heard a bang and ran outside to see our car driving up the road, She asked all these questions and I answered the best I could, I was on the phone still when I got home and dylan told me everything he could, the lady put a state wide and local bulliton on the car.
I rang Steph and asked her and rob to keep an eye out, she rang rob and told him and blow me away if not 3 mins later he was following my car but unfortunately couldn't keep up, I doubt I will get it back in one piece as the person knew what they were doing, they disabled the imobulizer to steal the car.
I know it insured but that's not the point, I bought the car with the money from Mum's estate so it has sentimental value to me.... Still haven't heard back so not holding my breath.

WORD of warning about Telstra

I received my telstra bill today and was really shocked to see a Queensland number on my phone bill, I will explain it, I have been charged for my phone number and someone living in Queenslands number, I was like WTF, so I rang Telstra and I had to go through this problem of my date of birth before I could talk to them ( they have the wrong date of birth down ) apparently I don't know when I was born ...lol, I got through all that and I said to the girl that i was really confused by my bill and she said OH what number are you talking about there is a queensland number and address on your bill, I went like yep that what I am confused about, I live in sydney, she made me tell her my number and address again and said what about queensland, I DON'T EVEN KNOW ANYONE there was my reply anyway she was going through all this and by this time I was really upset and said NO WONDER I DID'T WANT TO GO BACK TO TELSTRA BUT I was conned and now look what has happened, channel 7 and channel 9 will get a good story out of this one.
It turns out someone has stolen my identity LIKE HOW!! They would have had to know my date of birth BUT remember telstra don't even have my correct date of birth!!
The girl was very good, she even told me where the phone calls were made from curumba or something like that AND the name of the person who had the phone cut off was a Leeanne BUT this hasn't helped me.
She has fixed it up and now I only have to pay $17.60 and to access my account u now need a password.
I did infact thank the girl because she was really helpfull and one of the nicest telstra workers I have ever spoken to.
So just a word of warning to everyone WATCH OUT for your bill.
