Maybe we could get "incisor" to introduce a "hot air tax" on the soapbox, as there seems to be plenty of it escaping lately

He could then donate it to banjo to finish his projects.

No that should read:

Goes to show mate, you do have people who are interested in your wellbeing!!!!Just a thought mate, that tax refund would go a long way towards buying a small auto car!!! Sell the two projects and maybe the trailor, keep the "Green Machine" as I feel you have green "LandRover" blood in your veins and you will regret selling the lot. Now with your tax refund plus what you get for the "selloff", you could buy a reasonable vehicle that is about 6 or 7 years old.

Don't know whats going to happen yet. I've been looking at shipping container hire aswell thanks to Dale..Actualy if i could pickup a secondhand container for around the same price as one of those sheds that would be even better as it can surve 2 purpaces cause we want to move & will have to move soon enough once the rent gets to high.So could use it to pack everything in for the move..We've looked before & recon with the stuff we want to keep we could get everything into a 20ft container..Dunno i'm sic of stressing over it all. I'm still working on the wagon everyday so bits are getting done..The green landy will have to go as we have now found that the front suspension is'nt working at all cause those springs are so hard they just do'nt move at all so the tyres are the suspension..& kids are to big for the back of it now..hopefully we will just end up with wagon & Harry & maybe get Fred a small auto later.. She is getting all her lessons for free since she has some of my problems she is on a PART pension only. She still goes to one of those JOB SEARCH places but it caters for disabilities . . .I'd realy like to be able to work from home for someone , Like ALL4X4 rebuilding boxes or engines or something.. My perfect job would be to work for someone who just gives me a list at the begining of the week & say need that done this week & it be upto me when to do it.. You know get it done in a day or 2 or just go in for an hour or so , But just as long as i get whats on the list done ..That way if i panic or have a realy bad day i dont have to turn up no questions asked..BUT tell me where on this earth you can find people who care enough as a boss to have that work for them.. I seem to get used in all the jobs i've had , I learn very quickly & i'll ask questions so i do get things right..I worked for an engineering shop within 6 months i was running a milling machine aswell as doing my labourers job BUT they still only paid me as a labourer , Could of paid me as a second class machinist but no that was more..I quit that job cause of that as they got to the stage you work on machines aswell as your labourers job or get fired.They did'nt put any apprentices on while i was there cause i did there job.. I'm not winging just saying it should of worked bothways i was happy to do the work but they could of atleast gave me a small raise..I have always been if your going to do a job do it great & do it first time & i always stay till the job is done not bitch cause its after knockoff time..I cant understand kids today that are like that..

Maybe its just me..

If I was in that position, I would have gone to TAFE and done Fitter & Machining, then changed jobs with some qualifications. Bought our Disco from a Fitter Machinist. He was getting a New Job over in WA, fly in-fly out of Port Headland at $70K per year with a Brand New Landrover provided as a part of his salary package. Was going to live in Perth.

Hey Jim i been on Evilbay again got more landy manuals . . . .just have to wait till they get here ..

We have some money saved in the bank so Karen is going upto a building place tomorrow they sell secondhand stuff ..So going to get some prices on roof sheeting & poles . if not to dear mite get some ..We where Both talking & we agree the shipping container is our best option if we can get one for the right price . Then i can make a leanto off the side of it..Our old neighbour at the old place did a shed in his back yard for under $300 it was'nt a big shed but it is bigger then my little shed..So we will see how we go tomorrow
