Hi, glad you've got here ok, and got your rental sorted out. If you buy the local newspaper at the end of the week, there is a section in the classifieds where all your local garage sales for the weekend are listed. Hopefully you can find some stuff to tide you over if no-one on here has anything going spare!

and thank to cal. We have managed to pick some good stuff up in the sales, it's just the white goods we are struggling with!!
Thanks loads,
Debs

Re white goods have you looked at KMART sale washing machine $299 which i have one of those another 399 friend next door so both recommended. freezer and fridge also in sale. those prices probably work out better then rental or buying second hand with no guarantee
hi
why dont you rent from radio rentals til you buy what you need. They do white good, furniture and electrical goods as far as i know. It may be an option so you dont waste money on saomething you regret buying just cos you were in a hurry.

We used Mr Rental they let us hire a washing machine for 2 months until ours arrived from the Uk Mr Rental: Mr Rental
Also keep your eye out for the North Lakes Messenger comes out ever week and there are always lots of stuff for sale and garage sales in the classified section

we looked at mr rentals and would be tied for 18+ mths and if wanted to come out of the contarct would be quite expensive they work out how much left on rental then you pay a big proportion of that so really need to look at that option carefully.
hi there, saw u are in north lakes, we where over there in may looking at homes etc and have friends in halpine lakes over the road, may i ask who u rented your house from? we saw a few in the estate agents as u drive in. whats urs like? did u have to put down much? did u have to pay several months in advance? we have heard u sometimes have to pay alot up front as u have know credit history.. anyway must go but might see u over there... if the wife ever makes up her mind?????????? ....lol
We are renting in North Lakes and have been here nearly five months. There is a lot of houses up for rent at the minute on here, If you go on realestate you can look on there. There are a few estate agents on North Lakes and most of them do rentals. I think the least you can rent is for 6 months which is what we have done, we paid 3 months rent up front, but that was our choice as we then knew we didnt have to worry about rent for a while. If you want to break your lease you have to pay your rent until the EA finds another tennant and you will be charged for advertising the property. Also if you are wanting to put any children in North Lakes State College you have to be renting within this catchment area and we had to take our rental agreement into the school so they could enroll.
so really need to look at that option carefully.
