Afternoon all :-x
Lily I am with a DEN as well. I went for an interview yesterday and I think it went well she told me were the parking was and what time to get there to get a park and they have uniforms she told me how much they are etc I think I might be the only one with some kind of previous experience. I went for an interview about a fortnight ago and they said you should hear from us by Wednesday which was last week I aint heard, lol. I applied for 5 jobs last week so here's hoping.
Ruddy hot up here too hot for words I'm getting my hair cut tomorrow to remove some bulk, lol.
Lily I've been looking at the cost of renting in yr area and its as cheap as? For example for $220 up here I get a 2 bedroom house the kitchen light doesnt work and the kitchen cupboard is broken also the shower leaks downstairs and the showere head leaks. Basically u get what u pay for a dump that should be condemned, lol.
For $220 in Hervey Bay u get at least a 3 bedroom low set with fans throughout house beachside.
What do u guys have there Woolies, Big W a Uni. Townsville is so expensive cause of the Army and Uni students... |
Kerry, my DEN appointment isn't until Nov 9th, which is a bit of a pain. The person I see is in the same building as Job Futures/Community Solutions, which is where I was going.
With this hot weather my left leg has been swelling up something fierce, and my shin on that leg almost burns if I am on my feet for more than 15-20 minutes. There are little blisters there, so looks like cellulitis might be the next thing happening. Even my slipper doesn't fit properly on that foot cos it's so puffed up.I have a script for Lasix which I'll get filled.......trouble with that is that I have to stay home for a few hours after taking it, because I need to run to the toilet every 20 minutes or so, and if I don't get there in time..............
Better to stay at home to avoid that!
We pay $220 a week for this lowset 2 bedroom, small rooms, cottage which is only 2 blocks from the beach. No air con though, and it is an older style cottage as are most in this street, but the lights all work even if the kitchen is old fashioned and the actual layout of the house means to get to the bathroom/toilet/back of the house means walking through a bedroom.
You would be lucky to find a decent house for the same price, but they are around.
We have 3 Woolies in the area, Big W, Aldi, Target, Coles, IGA, lots and lots of cafe's etc, and the big shopping centre is Centro which is where the Target and IGA are, and other stores.
Pialba Place has the Big W which is only a year old, and Coles and some other stores.
Yes there is a Uni, but I don't know if it's as big as the one in Townsville.
Bay is lovely with sheltered beaches that go on for miles, and the Esplanade is where all the cafe's, parks and take aways, holiday apartments etc are.
My daughter works at the Woolies store closest to us, less than 5 mins down the road. Up the road about 10 mins is the other Woolies. The 3rd one is at a suburb called Eli Waters where there is another shopping centre.
I do love living here, plus it's a bit cooler than what you seem to experience in Townsville.
Dame, glad that Ash liked his little break, and I hope he can get into there permanently. Hope your mum feels better soon too.
PJ, hope your toothache has finally settled, and that the court hearing works out in your favour. Whatta pain about your wheelchair.
missnogal, hope your niece continues to do well.
Now I can't remember who asked after my cheeky Goldens, but they are better than any alarm clock any day. My Jessie wakes up at the crack of dawn and all we can hear is the steady thump, thump, thump of her tail against the floor or walls, or on the bed. I think it's time to wrap her tail in cotton wool so it's not so loud at 4.45am!!
Shadow my goofy Golden boy, well, he greets everyone, including us when we come back after going out, with his fave toy, a stuffed teddy bear. Even when strangers come they are greeted by this huge Golden boy woofing at them, while holding on to his teddy bear!
I can't remember other posts, my apologies.............
Purps, I hope you get away safely, and not too late in the day.
To everyone else..........hugs and wishes that life is good to you!
Anyone having rain in their neck of the woods, please send it up here!!
