This morning Tim found out that the cleaning company he works for is no longer in existence. Apparently the company owes the Tax Office $200,000. It seems they had enough of the guy dodging taxes and they forced the company to wind up and a liquidator has been appointed. Unfortunately for Tim, for the last [...]

Tim went to his Australia Post interview today. He passed with flying colours once again. Apparently it was all the same questions that he was asked as part of his initial telephone interview. He was only there for 20 minutes and then it was over. Next, has to go back and do a speed test [...]

Tim is currently going through the recruitment process with Australia Post. The position he’s going for is a 3 month temp position as a walking postie. He’s hoping that it will lead to a full time job and then he wants to become a motorbike postie. He took a computer test a few weeks ago which [...]

I was contacted yesterday by the Lori at Double Edge PR who handles the publicity for the Stitches & Craft Show. They’ve arranged with Eva, a journalist at The Leader, to contact me for some information she is doing on a fashion feature in the paper. It might seem weird but I wasn’t all that [...]

I spent all of this weekend preparing for the
Stitches & Craft Show that my company will be exhibiting at in August. I have been preparing on and off for the past 4 or 5 weeks. The show is close approaching and in between now and then we still have to find another rental house to [...]

As I’ve previously mentioned, I’m a good way into packing my personal possessions for the next move. I’m a little concerned about Tim as he has been doing a lot of work putting things up on ebay but there’s no visible difference to the amount of his possessions around the house. I hope that he [...]

I grew up in the southern suburbs of Perth and moved to Sydney in December 1999. Sydney has been kind to me. While I’ve been living in Sydney I managed to save a large house deposit and I managed to start my own company which has also been helpful in terms of saving for the [...]

As fate would have it, last Thursday we were given a notice by our landlord that they wanted to re-take possession in 60 days. We’re thinking that the elderly mother has died and that the middle-aged children now wanting to sell the house for a tidy sum (probably $700K plus). So since we were given [...]

So far renting out our lovely Tasmanian house has proven surprisingly frustrating. As I mentioned in my previous posts we don’t intend to live in the house right now so we have gone through a real estate agent (the same agent that we purchased the house from) to rent the house out. We dropped in to see [...]

As I mentioned previously, I’m a Document Production Operator at a law firm. I work the evening shift (from 5pm to 10pm). There are 9 of us on the evening shift. Basically the job involves amending Word documents, preparing new documents and court documents, transcribing letters, memos, file notes, even court transcripts sometimes. They recently [...]
