Quick update

Sorry for the confusion, but that wasn't my Christmas tree in the picture below, it is just a picture I got from a Google search. I haven't put mine up yet, but I am going to do it this weekend, so I will definitely post pictures when i've done that.
Work is still really busy and now we're having computer problems which is just making everything worse. Hopefully it will be fixed soon. I'm going to do some serious overtime tonight to try and catch up and i'll probably be here until midnight.
We went to a wedding on Sunday, yes another one, that's it for the year now. I got really pissed and lost my good camera. I was devastated. I made a thousand phone calls all to no avail. Serves me right. I checked ebay for another one the same and they were upwards of $400!! Yikes.
My luck must have changed though cos the taxi company rang yesterday to say it had been handed in. Hooray - there are some honest people out there. We bought the taxi driver a $50 Coles Myer voucher to say 'thanks'. Damn site cheaper than a new camera.
So have I learnt my lesson? Bloody oath. Next time take a throw away camera!!!!! hahahahaha

Oh thank goodness it turned up!! Nice touch with the Coles voucher, probably made his day more than it made yours!

That's fantastic Bri - not many people would be that honest.

People amaze me with their honesty. I'm always getting drunk and losing things then getting them. All except my virginity...rofl!!!

What I love is that someone was honest enough to hand your camera in. What I love even more is that you have given that wonderful action some positive reinforcement. Good for you. You are an example to us all Bri! Happy Christmas-tree-putting-up-time. The litle one will love it!

Lesson learned, Grasshopper!

And now your kindness will come back to YOU tenfold.
