Good Morning!

[TAB]

whoops too late its raining  .. @SmilingGecko 

[SmilingGecko]

I'm really happy for you @TAB - its just what you needed right now after all this bad luck.  Life can really suck at times. I'm pleased this bonus came through for you. Do you know when the Super comes in?  Now you've got to organise some kind of plan now to get out of where youre currently living. 

[SmilingGecko]

Oops @TAB did not see your previous message about Super coming through. Sorry about that but my e-mails are slow with SANE notifications.  That is wonderful.  I would hang onto the money and not spend maybe buy yourself a treat but be on the conservative side as you don't know what the future holds.  Don't want you in another financial pickle TAB. Yes and do plan B about getting out of that caravan park

[TAB]

yeah re 'bad luck' @SmilingGecko  had I flown to funeral would have been 5000 better off w no car disasters etc lol

plus if slumlord hadnt sold house on me etc lolo 

anyway. Had good catch up with sister who is estranged pretty much, was a nice if untimely holiday as well, i'm not in stupid red dirt town and sitting indoors not working and worrying about what landlord will think about the garden that died ha ha 

yeah the are Upsides .. 😊

anyway checked super, money has left , just in commbank limbo somewhere between there and my bank account

yes need a plan , got into a bit of a rut here, prob makes sense to use next couple months here wisely then leave. ie try and get surgery out of way, but can be anywhere for that, just need to appear at hosp on given date. I thought could get on cancellation list, but that doesnt work as need to be off blood thinners for 4 days prior.

I can upgrade/renew some work high risk tickets and do cert IV TAE  lots more opportunities here and things available food cheaper even tho it doesnt seem so now etc even

[TAB]

yes, I probably dont even want to spend half of it @SmilingGecko  some new clothes etc, car repairs, bills ..get car stereo been putting off for 6 years now lol

[MDT]

nice one @TAB
Should check mine too

[TAB]

..yeah the advantages of not working the whole financial year re tax rates and refunds @MDT  lol 

[SmilingGecko]

Gee you've had lots of hurdles @TAB.  Yes I would have gone by plane but thats all in hindsight.  I'm estranged from my brother, haven't seen him in close to 30 years.  He lives in Queensland.

Yes hold onto the money @TAB as much as you can, it can be tempting to spend.  Yesterday Moon was squaring Jupiter which is easy to be overindulgent and max out budget.  I was so tempted to buy something but decided to hold back. I'm glad I didn't buy. 

There may be more food shortages and everything increasing in price so just holding off will protect your future financial stability. Rents are soaring - saw an article in the newspaper about it today 😕

Good morning @TAB @MDT @SmilingGecko @StuF @Shaz51 @FloatingFeather @Former-Member @Former-Member @maddison @tyme @Former-Member @hanami @Paperdaisy @Snowie @Meowmy @Clawde and all forumites here. Have a great day.

Just thought I’d let you know that I’ve been admitted to the local hospital psych ward as of Tuesday at 11am to hopefully get things sorted out. The psychs are trying to mess with medications including sleeping meds to no use so far so I’m in a bit of a mental health mess right now. I had to fight to get my knitting but whilst I’ve got it during the day in my room, it has to be handed back at night. My housemate visited me for 30mins yesterday on the way home from an appointment which was good. I’m still having voices on/off and have periods of suicidal thinking which isn’t good but there’s nothing I can do about it. I’m in hospital so what more can be done? 

Talk later.

well 30 years beats me @SmilingGecko  used to only see people at xmas , then every 2nd or 3rd xmas then funerals only time seen anyone last 5 years lol

yes, rent shocking.

I have finally registered for public housing here. over 55 villages seem cheap , but I imagine there are huge costs ontop of buying in

still thinking about a block of land somewhere and going nuts with stratco catalogue meeting salvage yard meets eco-tent thing ..lol
