Oh, nearly forgot, you PM'd me before, you did not EMail me.

Like the wife does then...

I been busy at it lately working on Harry , Got a fair bit done..
Also had to take karens work van back so i went & picked up Karen when we did that over at Marylands way out the back of Marylands..

While we where there the boss told Karen she was selling the van & has closed up the business so Karen only has work from her on monday & thats it All done..Karen has been able to keep some of the clients she was cleaning for the boss so thats good..
We will be moving out of newcastle some time this year as we just cant aford to stay here , We are in the cheapest rental in cardiff at $300 pw.
so we been looking into moving interstate OR atleast way out in the bush in NSW..I like Broken Hill & have seen quiet a few houses for sale out there for as little as $30,000 . Years ago you could contact the counsil out there & they would send you a list of places you could make an offer on..They have been just abanded & some are for owed rates..
We missed a house out there years ago , it was a 3bdrn House on a large corner block & the house had a shop front on it. I think it was a small gerneral store from memery.It was an auction we thought was on a Friday but turned out was the day before as we knew someone out there we was going to get them to bid for us BUT we was a day late.This was about 12 to 13 years ago & it sold for a huge $250.. Yep thats right only $250 bucks.GGGGRRRRRR
Ahwell these things happen..

Hey Banj, if you move out of the area, I would be REALLY SORRY TO LOSE A GOOD NEIGHBOUR but I understand the financial necessity to move if you have too!!! It has been on the news over the last couple of years about how cheap it is to move into some of these out of the way places!!!

Bear in mind, if you move, you will have to start from scratch in making new friends and new neighbours etc. However, it may suit you right down to the ground, being in a nice quiet neighbourhood and we can come and visit you as a holiday!!

Bear in mind you have a couple of teenage anklebiters who may not take too kindly to the isolation, because teenagers like to have plenty of friends around them.
However, this is a very important descision for you and Karen to make and I know it's not easy. You have to balance financial considerations along with the needs of your children as well as the cost of moving, the isolation from family and friends as well as ( and most important) your peace of mind.
Mate, good luck, a Big Descision and I know you will make the right one!!!

Also don't forget the kids will be looking for employment in a couple of years, and they really need to be in an area of a larger population where chances of employment are better. I know, I know 15 year olds are lazy with regard to that but when they turn 20 they need to move on with life and only a job can help there!!

hi all its karen thanks aus it is a hard decision cody is like me he will adapt micayla is the hard problem i see more of jason in her with respect to their problems at the moment we just taking each day as it comes but i can see it getting harder and harder she has no friends no one her age she can talk to or go out with but she does not want to go out with others jason and myself are her best friends which i know is not right or healthly for her she is happy to come out with me all the time or be at home with us we push her some but i don't want to push to hard she has told her job centre that she will consider doing an animal help course that they had discussed last time we were there so thats a positive will see how we go

I would like to stay here but its very hard not having a garage . I used to do a lot of car services & just general work on cars Plus panel beating & painting.Plus i would build a car to sell once a year to bring in extra cash..The last car i did that with was the HZ ute V8.Brought for $1200 tidied it up got some stuff off ebay cheap & sold it on for $3200..I had that for about 6 months as i used it while tiding up & untill it sold..
Plus making stuff for landy's.. But since being here i have only made about 3 pair of sliders.As its to hot in the sun or its raining..I nearly passed out making the sliders here in the sun & welding..
If we could find a house for the same rent as we are paying now BUT with a garage we mite be a bit better off..
I have had to pass on a few good cars to tidy up & sell on as we dont have the garage..
I have thought of going back to doing the trucks again as that was just friday afternoon till about 12 midnight that back all day satdy & was getting to be all day sundy aswell..But that was real good money at around $700 for the weekend But the responability & stress was huge..We where looking after about 3 million woth of trucks & machinery.
We are getting rid of foxtel so thats a bill gone.. We dont pay for power as such as we opted to have some taken out of our pensions every week so we are in credit for that .Water bill is high in this place. The bloody groceries cost about $200 a week & more if i go with Karen to do it ..I not allowed to do the shopping anymore..Karen & fred do that..
So if ya see house for rent cheap with a garage let us know..
Plus the green car is starting to cost $100 a week to put fuel in with Karen using it for work , There one job she has just started at Redhead & then has to do a job back in NewLampton & its takes 45 mins to get to it with all the trafic & lights..
But i think most of it is just the cost of everyday things..

Hey Banj, buy a Hyundai!!! Ooops sorry!!
