I just scored for free an old but servicable wardrobe and sofa bed from the neighbours who were putting them out for hard rubbish removal.

These items are now sitting back on said neighbours verandah until I can organise transport to my new place. Sweet.

Any dwellars got an old fridge they can spare? Must be in Adelaide.

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG...

I was made an offer.

Let me put it this way: they offered me way over what they advertised as minimum starting. I was going to ask for a certain amount over that. They blew the number I was going to ask for out of the freaking water!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm so happy, I can't believe this is happening. Tears of joy tears of joy tears of joy...

That's great Shawnee, but will you still live up to your user title?

Let's have a drink to celebrate!

I'll pour:
