Seems were on the same wave length Murray bit of a worry that eh? :doh: :U
Okay... on the news front... I got a
NEWS FLASH!!!
From her bloody highness tonight... after the debarkle of todays efforts (see my need help with a jig thread) was sorted an she had calmed down to at least a slow boil... it will take her a day or so to get over it... sheilas eh? :roll: Anyways I got the news flash as she wandered of to bed
"Ive been thinking..."
"oh?"
"Yes I think we should simply have a house built and be done... as we wouldnt have a mortguage and we would get the house we want without compromising... so your going to start looking at project homes again since if we go that way they will do the lot the ground work the pad the everything"
"mmm yeah sure IF you want to stay stuck in this place for the next year or two while its being built"
"Well thats what Ive been thinking"
and of she wandered to snoreland :roll: So I guess I will have to contact the agent in a few weeks (keep putting it off to give her time to settle) and get it delisted... in the meantime I start getting seriously phissed of with project homes salespeople... get the prices... get onto the shire to find out what they will require if we go on a pad instead of stumps
Oh and she cancelled my car :C "Youve got the effy" "yeah but shes a bitche" "AND YOUR POINT IS?" sigh Im gonna leave that one alone for a few months I think
BUT!!! I will continue to puruse the car yards and seek opinions and knowledge
Im presently down to the
Ford ute
Ford fairylane
Landcruiser
Nevara
I will (if she allows me that small freedom) take a run into town over the weekend and take a few test drives under the guise of getting "a suitcase for your trip" :2tsup: so it will take me a few hours!!! Lotsa suitcases out there darls!! :;
Hi Wild Dingo,
All of your problems with Preston P.O. (Vic) could have been
overcome if you had called me, albeit 16 years ago, as
I was the Postmaster there for my last six years before
retirement.:D
Incidentally we occasionally received mail which was
correctly addressed to Preston in England and therefore
had to be sent on.
Best wishes,
Allan

aaahh now mate some would say thats typical of me "16 years late and in another state without a damned date" :U :U
Nah its all sorta resolved now... Ive given up on getting one from Carbetex in fact Ive pretty much given up getting much of what I go up there intending to get since they never seem to have what Im travelling up there to get! Even though their cattledog says they have it :doh:
Ebay has it Im getting it from there and be done its getting so Im either going to have to find a more reliable source of things or Im just gonna have to stop bein so blasted lazy and start makin stuff for meself!! :o :;
Cheers
