Hi,I have spent a bit of time talking about things to be
grateful for lately.One thing that appears high on my daily list is ‘health and
fitness’.I tend to take this one a little bit for granted but was reminded this
weekend how lucky I really am.I spent most of the weekend in bed trying to recover
from something but don’t know what?Hard
to explain medically but try a mans version….worst feeling in the world,hit the
wall, run down,out of gas,hot, cold,achey shaky and flakey amongst others!!!
I am grateful my family tolerated me back to health even if
they thought I deserved an acting Oscar.
Fletcher
reckons;feeling crook is no excuse for not keeping two hands on the
steering wheel at all times and he regularly reminds his Father about what he
sees as a key flaw in driving technique!
Our son is a good wake up call alarm in the car and certainly
puts me off any temptation to drive with one hand or check emails and texts
which can only be a good thing.
As it turns out it was a good weekend to spend in bed because
of the stormy weather although Fletcher and Christine headed out into the
elements when answering my calls for attention became too much for them…(see
attached).
Go the mighty invincible ABs and the amazing ,inspiring
Para-Olympians!
Cant wait to rip into another ‘Upbeat’ week ahead,hope you do
too!…….Cheers Jonesey!!
Harry and the Hendersons reckon they never moan that much
when they feel crook!!

The Consumer Gurantee Act is a great thing but how far should
it go?
Christine bought a new pair of running shoes last week and
opted for a pair of off roaders.
She did this after consultation with the sales guy who asked
her a lot of questions about where she normally ran etc.
We had not bought her old pair to the store with us (always a
good idea to do so) so it was a bit difficult getting the fit and feel right.
She went for a walk and two runs in the new shoes which hurt
her a great deal so they clearly werent right.
She called the store and talked to the guy who sold her the
shoes and he offered to take them back and swap them for a better fitting model.
This time we took the old ones with us and she made sure she
thoroughly cleaned the off roaders so they were in immaculate order.
The guy at the store was unbelievably nice and super
appreciative of the effort Christine had made to clean the off road shoes
before returning them.
He told us about aggressive customers returning shoes covered
in mud and expecting him to not only replace them but to clean them as well!!
He said that their store was always willing to sort something
out for its customers especially ones like her who were appreciative and
responsible even with the Consumer Guarantee ACT in place.
So what did we learn here;
- Courtesy,friendliness and
responsibilty are infectious
- Smiths Sports Shoes rock (Mt Eden and Albany) and we recommend them to you all!!
- Always take your old pair of
shoes when buying a new pair for a fail safe solution!
We couldn’t speak more highly of this store or its staff,something
all companies need to strive for !
