I'm married to a criminal


Not just a criminal, but an habitual one :-0

OH signed up to be an Av*n Rep. This is a position that OH had filled in Leonora when we first arrived in Oz in 1982.

No competition, so wife won several prices, accolades, and even attended a big 'do' in Perth.

When the area rep came around the other day to get things moving, she was a bit worried the OH hadn't been issued a Client Number.

Phone call today from said Rep and it appears that this 'may' be due to OH not paying for one or more orders over thirty years ago :-S

The Rep is coming back next Tuesday to pick up all the catalogues etc., left last Tuesday.

The shame, the humiliation! I don't know whether either of us can show our faces in public again :-0

Now I'm wondering what OH has done with all the stashed loot :-|

She certainly hasn't been spending it on me!

I still have to buy my own booze :-|

Av*n must have your lovely wife mixed up with a criminal woman who has the same name.

:-)

I doubt it Scozz :-(

Oh is wanted in three States for various offences, including mugging girl guides collecting for charity, but, shush, don't tell the fuzz ;-) :-D :-D :-D :-D

I know, I know :-(

What a reputation: Bunny and Fried :-D

My social life will be in tatters after this. :-0

Thrown out of all my social clubs (well I am anyway, but usually for being drunk) :-|

I'll have you good folk know that it is no laughing matter :-| :-| ;-)

Well, ok I did laugh at Graham's comments :-D :-D

But I am now social pira....er pariah, anyway some type of fish.

We have the press camped on the doorstep, for which privilege they willingly agreed to pay $10 per night...which has now brought us to the attention of the Australian Tax Office :-( :-D :-D

What is the expression about moving a pebble and causing an avalanche, or am I thinking of the butterfly flapping its wings in the Amazon causing a hurricane in Taiwan, although what a butterfly is doing in an on-line book store I have no idea.

All is chaos ;-) ;-) :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

The very slightest divergence of my point of view from OH's can cause terrible storms which follow me everywhere :-D :-D :-D :-D

I wonder if 'Avon' records will be available in the future? It could be quite interesting..........

Allan Report 1 Nov 2014 00:27

No, no, Maggie!

They will be commercial-in-confidence ;-) :-D :-D :-D :-D

Anyway, they can't transport us as we are already in Australia :-D :-D :-D :-D
