Worthy of TGIF - but this sadly, bizzarrely is real life


With our tax returns done for this year, we got our annual child care refunds and stimulus package money. We discovered we qualify for a special Large Family Bonus (first time we've been aware of getting it even though, presumably, we've been a "Large" family at least since 2000).


The full amount of the bonus, for one year?


$29.20


We're hotly debating how to spend it now - groceries, shoes, text books . . . Any suggestions?

When Grampa Shearer turned 75 he got an increase in his Old Aged Pension of the princely sum of 6d (old money) a week and a tax rise of twice that amount!
