You’ve got this and you’re doing awesomely!
If you DM me your PayID or email I’ll send you the cash, or an UberEats voucher to buy that pizza for you!

Last day/night in old place. Shed a few tears in the morning…
Alright. Big girl pants are on. Feel-good bossa nova station is on. To-do list for each room. Fridge unplugged, washing machine drained and let to dry. One more FBM pickup this morning. Everything else is leaving my house today (except The Couch Of Doom).
I have planned a couple of rewards to bring some joy and goodness into this.
- Started process of booking a week at my bolthole out in NSW over the xmas/new year period.
- Gonna buy an instant pot (maybe second hand) so I can get through my pile of dried legumes
- There will be pizza once I finish this move
- Gonna ask work to book me in for some field work next couple weeks

Aw thanks! Nah, it’s all good, I got paid on Friday and can certainly stump up for a pizza for myself without breaking the bank 😊
I will save on some things at this unit as the rent is 35/week less than what I’m currently paying, water is included, and there is no gas. Some of that will have to go to laundromat costs (drying), but overall I will be financially OK. Plus I have my bond coming back in a little over two weeks…

On the bond have you initiated the request with the RTB?
No worries on the pizza but a legit offer! This isn’t meant to be a brag but I just made money whilst watching a cartoon and I love sharing, so feel free to change your mind ❤️

Not yet, I’m handing back the keys on Wednesday. Bond request will be initiated the very second the keys leave my hand

Yass you can do it! And it will feel like home when you have your stuff in and made it your own. I have lived in big places and tiny old hobbit holes and anything can be a home.
And I vote for the instant pot. I have a smallish kitchen and ummed and ahhed because of storage but it is so helpful. Rice cooker, pasta sauces, dried legumes cooked without soaking, curries, yoghurt. I use it multiple times a week .

Yeah, I’ll be very tight on storage but reckon the instant pot will be worth the space - I’ll never use the oven so I think I’ll use it as storage. I’ll still keep a separate rice cooker so I can have a curry and rice going at the same time 😁
I have soooo many dried legumes, ironically purchased a week before all this rental shitstorm started. It’ll be great to get through them all, and save heaps of money at the same time! Chana dal curries without soaking? Sign me the fuck up. Especially the set and forget part of it. Think I will have a crack at dal makhani as well, never made it before.
