YOU'VE GOT MAIL

I use to love getting mail, not that I ever got much

usually Mark would get the majority of it!

At home we would check our P.O box every second day or so

I enjoyed our little ritual of sorting through it!

1 for you.... 1 for me....

Bills for you.... None for me!

Since we have been on the road it has caused us no end of grief!

Before we left home we bought a stack of postage bags from our post office & left those with them. When we are ready to have it sent I ring our P.O & they are kind enough to
send our mail on to us wherever we may be!

That means, we now only get the mail monthly, not that there should be much
as we have tried to do most things by email!

The last time we got our mail
it was full of

Stressful bas statements, rates, mobile phone bills, Internet bills & ten ton of other crap,
making Marks blood pressure rise!

Finally a bit of relief! (well for me anyway)
Junk mail!!!!
(That is one thing you don't get in caravan parks
the good old junk mail to browse over while enjoying your morning cuppa!)

Not for long though cause next was a Telstra envelope

I am thinking this is our Internet bill & it will be a big one, because i down loaded some videos & spoke to the kids on the web cam last month!

Nope it is Marks monthly mobile bill.......What a doozie!

The biggest one he has ever had in his life!!!!

$154.00, as we sat & went through it, we worked out why it was so deer!

It turned out to be the Interstate calls they cost a fortune & I am really bad for dialling
1245
to find phone numbers quickly!

I thought that mobile phone calls were the same price no matter where in Aus you are!!
Shows how dumb I am!

Well
When we left Alice Springs recently, we ordered our mail to be sent to
Howard Springs in Darwin.
We were told it would take a week to get up there!
Beauty by that time we will be there & all will be good!
Ha!...NOT!
On the Friday after arriving in Darwin
we went into the P.O to pick up our mail, as it had been exactly
a week since arranging it to be sent......
No sorry nothing for Gregory today, try again on Monday!
Monday came & nothing!
 The following Monday came & still nothing?!?!
I even rang Alice Springs just in case the people @ our end misinterpreted
Howard Springs for Alice...Nope nothing down here for Gregory??
Mmmmm...This is strange what the heavens has happened to our mail?
So far we have not had a problem & find Australia posts service really good!
Bingo it turned up @ Howard Springs about 3 weeks later!
Where it went is any ones guess???
As we are in Darwin for a while
 we are using the caravan park as our address.
We ordered our mail & received it 4 days later this time!
Too good or not really as, it is no longer fun getting the mail anymore,

most of the time the bills are over due & it is always
Pay Out!
 Pay Out! Pay Out!

Where are the days of getting a real letter gone & the excitement of going to the letter box!
So funny how the
Simple things in life are so sweet!!!

Cheers till next time!
Enjoy!
