Munchkinella Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Spent the day gutting the garage ready for the move and spent the last hour getting ready for my second interview tomorrow via Skype (fingers crossed).

mumoffour Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Our first time buyers who wanted character have pulled out when they realised they'd have no spare money after mortgage to pay for any maintenance necessary on an older house :wacko: Well hacked off here! But we are pressing on regardless as hubby now really doesn't want to stay and is so excited at starting his new job - will just be more tricky but not impossible so Geelong/ Torquay - watch out we're still coming!!! :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGrahams Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Booked 3 removals companies to come out to us in deepest darkest cornwall, have to wait till end of June, but they will come (although, some made it sound like I was asking them to go to the moon!) Started the kids culling their books, harder than it sounds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candygirl Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Sorry to hear that Mummoffour - hope you find another buyer soon. I am having a meltdown here - dreading OH's tech interview tomorrow. I am trying not to stress out OH, but so far it has not worked. Just spoke the Folks and they have the Squits with worry. Is it all worth it I ask myself?

Guest AKA63029 Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Well peeps, had a long hard chat with Ruth and the Herbert's. Whilst we have very little debt compared to many we do still have a certain amount of debt outstanding from Ruth's previous marriage and the mess I has to clear up, still trying to as well. Going around in circles here, work is very hard to come by, and with Ruth's health it has always been my main priority, so always 'had' to work around those issues. We have come to the conclusion that we can afford to get Ruth's car back on the road, and that will give her a little more independence, the Herbert's are now 17 and 19, so well able to look after 'Mum' to a degree, which is a huge weight of my mind. I will be travelling back to OZ within two months (hopefully sooner) with my tent and finding work out there, I can then afford to concentrate 'solely' on earning dosh and this will enable us to clear every debt we have. I know, I know, I have been told time and again I will never find work in OZ, never find accommodation, blah, blah, blah, but each and every time I have managed to find work, so it won't be any different this time, from cleaning loo's, stacking shelves to working for the councils again. It is a HUGE weight of our shoulders as the debts Ruth incurred before I cam e back were BIG, and even though I have paid a lot of there is still a away to go. I have lived on Super Noodles and 'camped' before and I'll do it again to make Ruth's (and mine if honest) mindset a little easier. I have promised Ruth I won't go fishing all day, (bugger) but I also have several contacts out here that 'may' turn into something of a more 'permanent' nature, you never know do you. Cheers Tony.

Guest AKA63029 Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Forgot to add. My parents are true Diamonds, and if things get a bit much for Ruth they have said (demanded) they would love her to stay with them in North Yorkshire, :wubclub: Ruth loves it up there as it gives her time to bitch about me along with my mum.:laugh: My two Herbert's are very capable of looking after the house and themselves for a few short weeks/months if needs be, and in truth they would love it.:skeptical: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest AKA63029 Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 As always Tony.........wish you all the very best for everything. :yes: In a way my friend I know it sounds selfish to do such a thing, but Ruth is in a far better place now (mentally) and as long as she can see the 'target' and why I'm doing it I'm sure all will be OK. And lets be honest, if it all goes Pete Tong I come back, simple as.:yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val Tibenham Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 That sounds like an excellent plan Tony - so pleased for you all :smile: I too, over the years, have had health issues and it has been the support of my wonderful DDs which has got me through it - sounds like you have been/ are that same rock of support for Ruth - well done you, I know it is not an easy thing to do. Good luck with all your plans and look forward to seeing your posts from Down Under :smile: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Candygirl Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 OH had his tech interview this morning for the AQF III - 3 hours long!!!! There was a slight confusion over the time difference between them, but they got there in the end. It ended positively, but we are not Counting our Chickens just yet!!! Today, I feel a sense of calm. I am not really sure why as we have a long way to go, but I feel we have achieved quite a bit today. If it is a negative, then at least we know what to expect next time.
