Two days before Christmas from Jason the Chinese Mechanic:
'KATE! (capitals because he shouts)YOUR REAR BACK WINDOW MECHANISM REALLY BROKEN. IT'S GOING TO COST $500 TO FIX, PARTS ALONE. WHAT YOU WANT ME TO DO?'
On Christmas Eve, from your tenants:
'...and so we'll be moving out in three weeks.'
From your doctor.
'Sorry to tell you but your rib is cracked, you're about six weeks away from no pain.'
Things you do want to hear:
From the guy in the Vodafone shop after your Iphone is performing more like a heater than a phone:
'We can send it away, it won't cost you if you're within your warranty...let's check out when you bought it.....(inserts details into computer).....and you're within your warranty - by a day!'
From the guy in the Vodafone store three days later:
'Hi, just ringing to let you know your phone is back and fixed....oh no..... replaced.'
Sometimes the universe takes away, and then it gives it back. (Or, sometimes I am unlucky and sometimes I am a jammy bastard).

Hmm. I think the balance is still not good enough though. You DESERVED a new iphone.
You'll get new tenants, I'm sure.
The rib is bad, what happened?
Oh, you're beautiful Jo! Pleased to report that I DID get new tenants!
I have never cracked a rib before, I never realised how much it HURTS. It involved me, a surf board and a wave. ACC records say 'surfing injury', however there's no way clinging to a surf board, going through a wave could be classed as surfing !
Surfing! Now there's a good way to break a rib. I nearly broke my nose like that once.
Oh no ! Your nose ! Now that would have been so painful, break or near break.
