Another freezing start to the day in the Bay but beautiful blue skies so all is good .
My career was in numbers but have never been interested in my own budget - the old boy used to keep a tag on the family cheque book .When we first were married I always seemed to be running out of money and it wasnÔÇÖt until one of the girls who worked for me - who wrote down every cent she spent in a notebook couldnÔÇÖt balance her budget I thought we may have had a thief taking advantage of the open lockers.Asked one of the Mr Fixits to set a trap never envisioning how elaborate his solution would be - he connected a wire from the bright orange purse to a large bell in the main office - the idea was as soon as the thief picked up the purse the bell would ring - it worked - frightened the living daylights out of the staff and the thief was the last person I was suspicious of - she told me she was taking $5 a day out of my purse!
I donÔÇÖt watch daytime TV either so many advertisements - in fact watch very little TV - if I watch TV I stream it
