Airport not as bad as I expected. But the carpark…. Wow what a shit show. Mrs asked me what they were building at a construction side, I told her a big gold plated hand giving the middle finger to their customers.

taking on melbourne airport today. Why the funk did I agree to this?!

Mine is just me naked though

Wait sorry. Got confused. That’s the apparel I do gay things in, not my gay apparel.

Sure. You wanna move out to the ass end of Melbourne? We’re so far out Melbourne weather isn’t necessarily our weather.

WRX, I am a basic bro haha

Paying for 100 down, currently getting… well shit I’ll stop complaining, 108. That’s a lot better than the test when I first got it, was struggling to hit 90

That’s the tricky part. We budgeted for a bit of overlap. Fortunately the rental bathroom started growing mushrooms so the conversation with the realestate went in our favour.

Got the fttp upgrade from fttn. Whilst definitely better it certainly wasn’t the silver bullet I was hoping for. I still don’t get what I’m paying for but it’s well within spec according to NBN

No point today was any better trust me.

Don’t no don’t care. It’s a dying business. But pour one out for foxtels diminishing influence in Australia

Probs a second kid, hopefully without the stress of making the first. Continue to save for my dream car. Improve overall fitness (good news there is I have a very low starting point so the only way is up!)

Wouldn’t let vacant possession be a barrier. Getting rid of tenants is getting tougher and tougher, that’s a massive roadblock to some vendors. Meanwhile “I brought the place but sorry I need my house” is still the safest way to end a tenancy.

Vacant possession creates a huge barrier for your vendors. One that frankly, you don’t need to be that worried about.

Totally agree. We were first time owner occupiers. It wasn’t a choice sadly, we weren’t out to screw anyone

I’ll counter this: rent wasn’t enough to pay the mortgage, so what we should make a loss and not have a property to live in? at the end of the day it is a government responsibility to provide housing for its citizens. It is not your or my responsibility to put a roof above someone else’s head. That’s what our tax dollars should be going to. Not paying the cfmeu out the ass to build more transport projects that are 4x the price they should be.

This is capitalism. We all gotta do what we gotta do. But at the same time fuck people who own 4 or 5 properties and are screwing their tenants.

Yeah we did. Sales agent also managed the property. We asked them to let the tenants know as soon as our offer was accepted that we intended to occupy. That gave them 90 days head start to begin looking. We issued notice (60 or 90 days I think) so they had tons of warning. Told them if they left early they wouldn’t pay for any extra days and we were very lenient on the exit report.

Don’t feel too bad about it, the place was not in a good state but impossible to tell if it was them or any of the previous tenants who trashed it.

Dealing with the in-laws tomorrow. Fortunately it’s only for a couple of days but gotta be honest I’ve lost a ton of respect for everyone involved in this shit show. I’ll smile and be polite but this is gonna be the last time I go over for a while. Really disappointing cause we all had a great relationship before this, but everyone put their own wants first and no one took accountability so…. Is what it is.

Actually I should say: except my mother in law. She’s a freaking delight and I mean that seriously.

No vomit today from Tinyest. I had the shits last night but the gastro stop settled that, and Mrs b is fine. We’re thinking maybe bad chicken or something from Cole’s deli yesterday, otherwise it’s the quickest gastro I’ve ever seen.

Sounds about 10x more appealing than gastro.

Probs gonna stab him in the back!

Are you off to dance with Rita?
