    Leave passes...

    ok... it is with much sadness that i announce that my leave pass for Thredbo 2010 has been revoked.

    apparently 550kms and 6 hours of driving is too much if the baby decides to turn up 2.5 weeks early...

        Congratulations!

        I can sympathise, my leave pass for the annual boy's ski trip this last season was also revoked with the same 2-3 week time frame until expected due date....... and we were 2 weeks overdue in the end.

        We now have a healthy 7 week old boy!!

            Congratulations Rich,

            This has been my first year where such matters have played a factor in my life.

            This will not be the last time a leave pass is revoked...

            And there's a fair chance that quite a few leave psses to come won't make it past risk management, compliance and control...

                Congratulations Rich!

                BTW the more time you spend looking after the kids, the more leave passes you'll collect. No gain without....

                    Yep, that's the key. And you make out it was really hard work... even though it's not.

                          Rich, congrats to you and Claire.


                          However, I thought you were a good numbers man ? Surely you could have planned the dates a bit better ? Put a calendar up over the bed and mark off all the important car club events, then just subtract 9 months from the current date.

                          Easy.

                          Remember this for next time.

                            And did you see yesterdays news story about the cost of raising children these days ? They are claiming $1 million per child.

                            Better forget about the paint job.

                              I have a bit of cash stashed away for the car... And my father is doing a couple of deals that might yield me 2 side by side single garages for pulling it all apart. It isn't hopeless by any means (yet)!
