So the final offer came through for the house and I’ve accepted.
Let’s just say it was more than the ‘I’ll be jumping around hosing champagne if I get this’ amount. And off market to boot so no marketing fees.
Thanks to all of you who crossed digits for me. 😁

So it turns out if you actually clean your vacuum cleaner properly it performs WAY better. Who’da thunk it? I had to pull it apart because it was saying airways blocked yesterday, which is apparently the level of cleaning I’m meant to be doing on this thing regularly anyway so I learned that too.

Also I just learned yesterday that you’re meant to replace the HEPA filters on Dyson stick vacuums once a year so I bought 2 aftermarket filters which arrive today. I’ve cleaned the existing one a few times, yesterday giving it a more thorough cleaning which was the cause of the “airways blocked” message, but apparently replacing them will make the vacuum perform even better.

It’s actually crazy how much dust/dirt this thing lifts off what I thought were pretty clean carpets. It must have been doing a pretty piss-poor job before I cleaned it.

Agent has received an offer and is negotiating.
Cross fingers for me?

Morning everyone

I’m such a dumbass. Had a meeting in the office yesterday at 10. We all went around introducing ourselves. I tell them who I am, my role and background. Guy says “Nice to meet you!” and I said “Thank you!! 😄” realising after three minutes, I cringed so hard after that. To be fair I hadn’t had my coffee nor my breakfast but still embarassing 😭😭😂

I feel very vindicated.

Power goes out about almost an hour ago, except for some lights and stuff, very weird. So we’re going through the motions of flicking the power switch at the side of the house and everything, and afterwards Mum tells us we need to turn everything off at the power point, and so everything is slowly working but my stuff. Mum comes in and sees my cords and then starts to say that the reason why everything went out might be because of me. I get annoyed and defensive because she instantly tells me that it could be my fault, and she then gets snarky and annoyed when I tell her that it can’t just be me and she says she’s not accusing me. Even though she never said this to my sister and only said this after she saw my stuff and went “Jesus Christ!”.

Anyways everything starts turning on again, awesome great, lights are working. Mum goes back to bed and turns on one of the power points in her room and guess what happens… everything goes out again. We find the culprit and its one of mum’s sockets/power points that is causing the issue. So fuck me right?

The young Seagoons have settled in and Bill and Ted have become friends. :)

Still no word but I put together the new futon couches.
I think it’s safe to say Zooki is a fan.

I did not authorize this mugginess.

It’s quite humid outside.

Yay, someone is grabbing the old stumps I put out for hard rubbish - I was starting to think I would need to make a Marketplace listing! Good old Redgum in those things.

Lawn guy was going to come around between 9 and 10to help me get the couches out and on the nature strip, but when he hadn’t shown by 9:15 ish I got twitchy and decided to have a go myself.
To cut a long story short, I got both of the couches out and on the nature strip and the second one on top of the first thanks to a helpful passerby. Phoned the guy to tell him I sorted it but thanks anyway and he said “Oh I was just about to come around.” 😂 Anyway that’s done and I’m now flopped on the bed with the cats having a breather before I tackle putting the new futon couches together. fans self

I am going for a long drive to lunch today and realised I need to get petrol. I just checked the prices and they look to be at a low point at the moment, how did I luck into that? I’ve avoided looking at prices while I’ve been on leave for a couple of weeks, I was expecting prices over $2.
