Hi @eth ... good to hear from you. Waves to @Mazarita .
Hope that housing application keeps ticking along, progress is being made, but its obviously pretty intense. Ouch .. thats a big chunk out of your entire income ... but medical expenses are essential, so not much to be done I guess.
I too have been wondering about @Former-Member ... I saw her online for a couple of days the week before last I think.
I think you already have a couple of tags from me from over the weekend, wont bother you with more for now. 😊 Hope your day is restful and kind to you. Keep well and stay happy.
Sherry 💕

Oh yes @TAB I have been wondering how you might have fared with the major weather event over in WA. I have inlaws in WA, and intend to check in with them soon. Bit early for them yet I figured. Glad you hear you are still in one piece at least. Though sounds like a few things to fix in the aftermath. Be careful up that ladder!

Hey @TAB I know about the medicare safety nets - there are 2 - 1 for consultations and the other for medications. I passed both of them last year but they only go til the end of December, then you have to start again. And the one for medications only covers meds on the PBS. I am on 3 meds (9 altogether) that aren't on the PBS and cost me over $130 per month combined.
Hope you are able to sort out the problems caused by the wind.
And @Adge I really hope your birds are safe.
Hi to you all too @greenpea @Former-Member @outlander will go through notifications from the weekend shortly.
Hope today has some highlights in it for all.

It's certainly a struggle @TAB . My estimate is a conservative one 😳
