Getting There

Woohoo - I sold my car! After the first day (Thursday) of it being in the Quokka (the local free classifieds paper that EVERYONE gets) with no calls, I was a little worried. Got a couple of calls yesterday (thank God) and today I had two people offer me $200 less than the asking price within 5 minutes of each other, so I ended up getting what I asked - CASH. Sweet. I was starting to worry that I would have to spend Monday morning trolling up & down the used car strip trying to hawk my car. We went there on Tuesday to see what a second hand dealer would give us and it wasn't pretty. Ended up getting about $1500 more than I would've trying to flog it to the yard, with a shit load less hassle. Two words - thank f**k.

Have dropped my boxes off at the shipping depot to send to the UK. Mainly clothes & books for work. Very exciting! Nice to have that done though.

Have nearly finished packing all my stuff to send home. Taking it to the freighter Monday morning. Now I just have to do a garbage run or two and spend a day cleaning and I am D.O.N.E.

We are off down south Monday arvo for a couple of days R&R before coming back up and flying out to Adelaide on Thursday. Am on the home stretch for Perth now. It is going to be odd flying out knowing that I probably won't be back any time soon. Very strange feeling indeed. Eeek.

One scary thing. My next door neighbours got broken into last night and their laptops stolen. Same time as we were out for dinner. I share a balcony and walk up stairs with them, so basically it probably came down to 50/50 as to whose door they were gonna crow bar open. Theirs or mine. Now that would've sucked. Didn't feel to good after I found that out.

Anyway, I'm gonna go and have a granny nap now. Sooooo tired.
