Getting Robbed, Hot Flushes & a SCUBA Diving

July 19, 2008 by cathy · 3 Comments

Well I have been everywhere the last few months, running around with buyers from state to state. Some successful, some not so. On one of my trips down the coast I was taking a short break in a park when a man pushing a baby called ”is that your car ’cause it’s just been broken into”. That’s right, the brazen robbers had followed me, smashed my window and robbed me blind.

As the story goes… poor buggars, it’s hard for them isn’t it? I pay for them all my life in my 46 cents in the dollar and then I pay for them some more. That makes the 4th time in one year for me.

Well after a week of rebuilding the Subaru and cancelling credit cards I moved on to a top Sydney listing on the South side. On the water there was a magnificent SCUBA diving business and dive school. Gee, the owners need medals for their dedication to this great icon in Australia. Mike Whitney and Koshie from the morning show dive with these people on a regular basis and endorse it wherever they go. It’s seen on all the getaway shows and now I have the pleasure of selling it. So listen… you want a top adventure business, totally established and known world wide check out the listing on Best Business Buys or give me a call.

On the funny side of the car robbery is when the glass broke all over my seat it jammed up my seat belt and I got stuck in the damn thing. I just couldn’t get to a mechanic in time to fix it, so there I was with my darling little grandchildren aged 7 and 5 in the car and Grandma is caught in the seat belt. If you know anything about the stress of Menopause you will know what a dreadful hot flush is like, particularly when you realise you are stuck and can not get out.

So there I am pulling on the seat belt and having a hot flush and my darling Blair says “Grandma, what will we do?”. I said to them “run into that furniture store and tell the lady Grandma’s stuck in the seat belt”. So in they go… shop full of people of course… “excuse me lady, but my Grandma’s stuck in the car!”

And you guessed it, out comes the whole town to have a look. Everyone’s doing their best to get poor old Grandma out and the looks on my grand kid’s faces were priceless. Chelsea says “Grandma, you’re old now, do you think you will die soon!” God love em!

For the next week I had service station attendants looking at me in despair as I rapped on my window for them to come out and release me from that damn seat belt until I finally got the thing fixed and off again on another mission.
