oh ,cat was wild or acted it when first saw it, then started feeding it til it was sitting  waiting for food one day. he's only getting used to being picked up now. and is getting way more playful as getting older (friend says its cos he feels safe now)

99% of time when cat disappears its into same backyard adjoining mine.

up that was what I got coached to do when looking for house @EternalFlower  re backwards approach ie decide on area and price range and be prepared to compromise.

I could throw up if worked out how much money I have spent in last 2 years. spent '000s getting front teeth fixed after a fall, and went to someone really out of the way as I was som put off by dentist I had seen locally. then I found free dental by accident. just register, then say in pain, get approval, get appointment and out of pocket was capped at like $70 so I save hundreds already. and with state of my teeth will save a lot more. Swings and roundabouts I guess. I drove over 400kms like 20x to go to course , thought oh well at least can claim on tax. not working tho, der .. so its straight from my pocket.

I pretty much had a job through course at least once, but in Adelaide . I wouldnt have been making any money, as would have had to get accom there.but would have been a foot in the door and a path to WFH, someone who was on same course already had a job before qualified, but once they were , they let him work remotely .so they live on a boat on an island now ha ha. they suggested that I could 'do the hard yards' to get my foot in the door.

I didnt know what to do with cat either, was stressing, it was doing my head in, so just didnt go for interview. have read that other people on here moved to country for lower rents
