Thread: When to call time...?

Firstly Tins, envision where you would like to be in, say, five years time and work out a plan to get you there. You will find that an enormous weight will magically disappear from your shoulders once you divest yourself of any unfinished or unfulfilled project that you know deep down is no longer viable. Just because it was once a good idea, doesn't mean it still is. Also, we often worry about unfinished projects as though we have an obligation to complete them. We don't. Will any of your decisions adversely affect anyone else? If not, do what is right for you.
Secondly, I may be interested in the SIII for Sunday Island. Roadworthiness is irrelevant, but a reliable SIII (I have a spare engine) would be useful.
Either post pics or send me a PM.

thanks. I know intellectually you are correct. I have certain mental health issues that have got in the way in the past. These are now being treated ( at 70! ) and so I see it more clearly.

Will do. Only pics I have now are of the car when I was driving it. It is in many pieces currently. I have to move it out and get it cleared of stuff.

BLIMEY MATEY!! I had no idea things were that Grim.


Personally, I think Diesell's offer is one you can't refuse, having just cleaned out my big shed. Already crap is building up again. Too many things have too many Memories.


Best wishes JT.

Not unique, Des. Bad things happen. How you cope with them is what matters. I didn't. I have ADD ( no H in my life), and am apparently mildly bi-polar. Throw grief and very large quantities of alcohol into that mix and the story tells itself.

I have lived here for 25 years, 6 of them alone. I know about memories. Sorta the point of this thread really. Thought I had a new start, a potential, in Qld, but that was another fail. So, time to get on before time runs out. 540 days since I went cold turkey on the grog ( I looked it up, not counting. It doesn't mean anything to me as I never actually missed it ). It's the Qld thing that has got me thinking about all this. Can't rely on external influences, as they can be like smoke.

Got an agent coming on Monday so I best get to cleaning up.

Good luck with that I hope they ain't a Shonk.



Went for a dry run on this property recently ( 10 months ago to be exact} Gotta keep ones eye's on the ball.

Their 1% Commission is a killer & summat like 30 grand for what, a few photos & brochure etc. & I suspected they already had some one in mind so bugger all to do actually, for them.

Just because their Rule Book says they can does not mean they have to. Some hard negotiating coming up I can see.


I think I may dig a 6'hole in the garden & they can just shovel me in when the time comes.

Actually I know a bloke with a small Drain Digger.

Yep, but if I try to self market the place I might as well dig that hole here.

Oh I know. Had to sell mum's place a couple of years ago. No wonder the two principals drive a Range Rover and a Defender L663.

Doing my best. Just making the effort to ask helps.

Sorry Des, but now I'm always going to picture you like this:
