    Success!!! Got the big unwieldly couch dismantled with my friend’s help both physically and mentally. Now I can hopefully get rid of it sooner and if there’s no takers at least it’s a helluva lot easier to move myself. That’s a big ticket item cleared.

    Next up, gotta keep culling and packing clothes… made a bit of a start this am, but I’ll probably do most of it tomorrow. It’s been a big day today with long chats, grabbing a coffee, going to Bunnings together, dismantling this couch in confused stages, going out for lunch, dropping friend home…

      That’s great news.

      Has update on when you put in your notice to vacate?

      Did the LL communicate back to you in any way?

        LL did finally get back and acknowledged receipt at least so she won’t kick up a fuss about leaving early. Hasn’t said yet how she wants to organise key handover but I don’t really care, it’s on her now. Just focusing on next steps. REA is pretty sloppy where I’m moving to so I gotta have my wits about. Still pretty chuffed I got away with paying the original listed rent thanks to their lack of attention to detail.

        Some other big things I need to do are fill in some small holes where I’d put a blackout blind (relatives lent me spakfilla and a spatula) and try to remove some scratches in the toilet bowl.

          Don’t forget about your bond as well after you’ve sorted out everything.

          Anyway you’ve done good today and it’s time for you to rest up and have some R&R.

            I’ll be claiming my bond the second I hand my keys over. I can wait the two weeks if it means I don’t need to do anything further and the landlord has to take it up to vcat if she wants to fight.

            Yep pretty chuffed with today’s efforts. Been sat in the car for 90 minutes doing crosswords, gonna haul myself back up home and go through some clothes then wind down with some Poker Face episodes.

              What’s the Poker Face show about it and what is it on?

              You reminded me about Only Murders in the building season 4 and Fisk so I did a couple of episodes in my downtime.

                It’s about a rough-around-the-edges casino worker who has the gift of always knowing if someone is lying, who finds herself caught up solving mysteries and murders while on the run. Directed by Rian Johnson so it’s very visually appealing and slick but also has some very memorable characters and a sense of showbiz to it that I like, it’s good fun.

                It’s on Apple TV in Australia I think, but I sail the fine seas for everything…

                  Ahh ok.

                  Thanks for the tip.

                  I was sailing the seas earlier today, it’s where I found the buildings.
