DID the annual family budget last weekend. Good times. I never realised how many subscriptions I had to apps I’ve never heard of. Add in an Adobe subscription for something a child needed for a week 12 months ago that’s costing nearly $100 a month and it’s no wonder I’m looking at the craft beer aisle and wondering if XXXX is really all that bad. My usual reaction was to cancel all the cards and start again.
CHARGED UP
This brings me to my electricity bill, which as usual gave me half an aneurism, and that’s before I saw the amount.
The cheeky buggers now tell you in the bill, in bold, that it would be cheaper for you to go on another plan, and exactly tell you how much you’d save each year. Don’t just tell me that, do it already! Why do I have to call? They have all this useful information but figure customers would much prefer to pay more for the exact same service, unless asked. No, we are just busy.
CHEQUE OUT
Last word on utilities, and that is why they still send cheques if there is an overpayment? I have cheques for between $3 and $27 from my utility providers on my fridge.
They’ll never be cashed, so consider this column as written confirmation to cancel the cheques and give me the cheapest plan.
STOLEN SIGNS
Noticed all the election signs popping up around the hinterland?
Apparently a few have been nicked already.
I was thinking it was some anti-Greens things but apparently the thieves are apolitical and every candidate is copping some losses.
AIR-CON
Not having air con myself, it is hard to sympathise with social housing folk saying it should be mandatory. It shouldn’t be.
