This might should quite bizarre to treat yourself after hard word, but its an important part of life that we enjoy the pleasures after our hard labours have been met. as the phrase goes "All work and No play makes Jack a dull boy" I am back from an errand to the Bank - banking cash has to be done at the bank or else it just gets spent in the purse. Our Ballet school month is at its start and the parents have paid fees, therefore I had to do some business before pleasure. I really dont know why in today's day and age that parents havent learnt the skill of EFT - Electronic Funds Transfer - which is quick and efficient and saves a lot of time and fees. Sadly there are still some people that sleep with their hoards of money under their pillows and believe in paying CASH for everything. No Plastic, No Banks, nothing. You know what I mean? So what is your treat after Hard Work - I shall reveal my treat later!! The South African Rand's have the Rhino on the R10 note, Elephant on the R20 note; Lion on the R50 note - its the most used note ever; Buffalo on the R100 Note; and the Leopard on the R200 note. Lovely monetary notes we have. R1 is worth 0.071 US Dollar as per today's exchange rate

Sending you hugs - I am sorry I only get to you at the end of your feeling down and not at the start - I hope your day eventually went better than you were feeling

They sound like lovely bank notes. Mostly ours have boring people on them.

Well, sometimes I wonder too why people need to use cash these days. And I think the reason is inefficient administration: in many domains, especially when paying a tax, you need to get a seal or to attach a printed receipt. And at some institutions they simply don't accept a PDF bank statement from your e-banking app. They will require you a physical paper with the clerk's seal on it. So you will do a lot of running back-and-forth to pay your dues and get your receipt, which you may attach to the file. The treat is... that you finally will get your paperwork done. And of course, after such tedious acts, you may take a little treat of your favorite ones, to cheer yourself up :)

I know all that paperwork is killing trees anyway - We all need a treat now and then

I am a bit disappointed...I mean Elephant is definitely larger than leopard, but leopard gets to represent larger amount...SMH. I guess I should mind my own business...me reward...anything fun.. and funny.

Looks like R200 is not much over there. For me I usually treat myself with KFC chicken and chocolate drink.

Ice cream is the best treat, I could always be paid in ice cream. I have only seen a few bills from other countries but they are so interesting looking. Fun colors and pictures.
