Left that sh*thole 4 years ago now, never looked back

My view is that Christmas starts at pageant weekend (and Adelaide thing) which is usually the second weekend in November. 
 

Usually it’s pageant on TV while doing the tree. 
 

4 weeks is such a short time to celebrate Christmas. The worlds a sh*thole and there’s so many bad things constantly around us, Christmas is something that is so joyous for the kids and family that why not have 8 weeks of celebrations and anticipation? 
 

AND more importantly, it’s a good bribing system for a whole 2 months!!!! 
“ if you don’t eat your vegetables Santa won’t come” etc etc 😂😂😂

Shed skid

Ah yes, reminds me of the lockdown skid trend that floated around FB 🤣

 

Alas, I cannot do this. It is a rental 😥

[bossmang]

that's one thing I made sure we had when I moved out of home. double garage for the cars.

Yea it was something I was so keen on having too when the missus and I decided to move in together. Unfortunately this was during covid lockdown and all that. Long story short the rental market in WA (and I'm sure for the rest of aus) was/is so competitive and crowded that we had to settle for a 1 bedroom apartment on a 6mo lease. 

 

We now have an amazing 3 bedroom house, with a double garage on a 1 year lease 😄

Had to bite the bullet and suck up the ridiculous rental prices too, we were paying $370pw for the 1 bedroom apartment, now paying $480 for this rental. that's heading to mortgage repayment kinda money which is quite frustrating. 

 

Keen to trick out the garage with some more shelves and toolboxes. 2 port garage for a single car gives me some room to work with which is really awesome. Now just need a sh*tbox so I can garage my car and retire it from daily duties
