Thank you so much for that Jean, you have made me feel a lot better, and you are right of course.

I don't know why they distressed me, mabye they are big and yellow or maybe it is underlining that I will be leaving here...

Yes, the last I think.  I love it here but moving has become necessary and I don't yet know where I will end up.. so I feel I am walking a plant with a deep sea underneath 😞

Hi Darki.  I would find the signs a bit  distressing too.....because I tend to be a private person..  However, I would be immediately unstressed if they led to a sale.

Darki, I understand what you mean, but having a sign is a good thing. When I sold up yrs ago, I didnt want a sign either, but it was through someone seeing the sign and told a friend about it, that my house sold.

So, look at it along those lines.

I hope you get a buyer soon.

The thought of moving (one day) distresses me no end.......all those years of collecting and hoarding.....even getting the house painted is a pain.....so many bits and pieces about.

I've just found out that the agency who provides my cleaner also provides helpers to pack stuff away......for $$ of course, but it'll be worth it.

Unfortunately the fires may set your house sale back a bit...but if it's in an area with NO fires, that could be a plus?

Would you believe gil, that I have sudden viewers yesterday who have a house in the bushfire area and don't yet know if it's still standing, coming to look to buy down here?

Yes we could get a fire, but my house would probably survive it.  It has been built with bushfires in mind with no eaves along the back and a plain stone wall confronting the bush.

I have a huge fire break between the bush and me and only a few months ago I did get my men to clear the bush and trees back on the other side of the boundary fence.

Yesterday my mower man did a  'cut' of the dead grass just to take the top off it, not that it was more than about 3 inches high...  he has whippersnipped around all the trees, non too near the house.

Nevertheless, I will be leaving if I see smoke on the horizon 🙂

I think you'd be ok ...

Guess what...........after 18  days I've FINALLY got my $$ transferred into my a/c!!  What a bells up!

YAAAYYYYYY :^O  WAY TO GO GIL 🙂

I am sure your place would survive a bush fire, Darki.

CFA here, have 2 alarms one for non emergency things that rings for 90 seconds and one for fire/flood........not that we have a flood here in the hills, the fire danger siren goes for 5 minutes, if that goes off and I see smoke, I will be off.

No good hanging around up here in the hills when that siren goes off, as the roads are narrow, in some parts only room for 1 car, at a time.

In the 2009 fires the roads were clogged, so I would go early.

I am in the wars, having trouble with the sciatic nerve in left leg, it is so painful, saw the dr. yesterday and she has me on a drug similar to morphine for the pain, plus an anti inflammatory drug. Have to go back on thursday.

Glad your $$ came through finally, Gill

Good thinking purple... I wish we had an alarm.. wouldn't that be a help... as it is I watch the skies and the Tas Fire Service site.

We have winds and what looks like heavy clouds coming... Oh it would be good if we get rain. 🙂
