Hi, Jan. How's it going?
Hi, Shirley. Not bad.- And you?
- Ugh. I've been dragged into helping out with the school fete.
- Really? How did that happen?
- Well, you know Natalie?
- She's in charge of the fete committee, and she asked me to help out.
- Why did you say yes?
- Well…I've been really busy at work lately, and she's been looking after the kids, so I felt like I had to help her.
- Ah, I understand.
- What do you have to do?
- I'm in charge of the chook raffle.
- I don't know anything about chickens!
- I don't think it's too hard.
- I'm sure you'll be right!
- See you there!
