Literally NOTHING has come onto the market this week for me to look at on Saturday. Meanwhile, I am getting endless calls from real estate agents wanting to know if I am interested in the slim pickings that I inspected last weekend. They have been getting quite uppity when I tell them I'm not interested.... Continue Reading →

So much happened over the weekend that I couldn't cram it all into one blog post. The youngest won four Silver medals and one Bronze medal at the State Skipping Championships in Canberra and has qualified to perform her solo routine at the National Skipping Championships in Darwin. My ex will be taking her to... Continue Reading →

My house has been officially sold ... contracts were exchanged on Friday night. Argh! Well, there's a cooling off period, so I'm not rushing out and putting a deposit on my dream apartment just yet. Not that my dream apartment is on the market anyway, but more about that later ... It was a bit... Continue Reading →

I feel like a slacker - I've pulled out of attending the State Skipping Championships to focus on apartment hunting ... just in case ... Well, that's my main excuse. The youngest reckons its not worth attending because it’s going to be a disaster. She hasn't practised enough and her body is falling apart. She's... Continue Reading →

I had the best intentions, but I’ve created absolute havoc in another household. Heaps of stuff got chucked in my frantic race to get my house ready for off-market sale. Among the loot was a giant stuffed tiger that used to belong to the eldest. I asked DD's neighbour if his kids would like it... Continue Reading →

I quite like my house now that I've cleaned and decluttered it ... it’s in a convenient location, there’s lots of room, the dogs love lazing on the back deck and my bedroom is surprisingly peaceful considering I live on a very busy road. I'll be totes fine if no one wants to pay the... Continue Reading →

I really don't recommend starting a new job the same week as your boyfriend has a birthday and your house is being prepped for an off-market inspection. It was intense and exhausting. After spending last weekend frantically starting the prepping process for the open for inspection, my nights were consumed with endless cleaning and clearing.... Continue Reading →

Thank you for all the best wishes on my new job. It still feels a bit surreal. As does my next piece of news. Since I seem to only be capable of going at one speed - way too fast - I have been spending this week getting my house ready for an open for... Continue Reading →

It’s official - I can finally tell you my exciting news. After spending the last two years as a freelancer and contractor, I have started a new chapter of my career as Digital Corporate Communications Manager at Destination NSW. It’s a buzz to have scored the gig in my fifties, I feel proud to be... Continue Reading →
