Hi there Looking for lodgers for our house. Can suit a family or 2 couples. Self contained unit and large bedroom with separate bathroom. location is Lilydale just by the lake one hour from the city. Message me if interested for for further details. Also posted on Gumtree for further pics and details.

sorry i have got dementia!!!! already posted thanks for your thoughts. I can't even remember doing it! night duty brain ..

Hi Just interested in your thoughts really. We sold our house 'subject to contract' being the buyer needed to sell his house and he had until July to do this. A deposit of $100k was put down and a 'sold subject to contract' was put on the board. He has decided to pull out of the sale and has had his full deposit given back! He has taken his house off the market as he has changed his mind. We have however, offered to buy his house for the asking price but he has declined. We have been left out of pocket and we have not marketed the house for 4 months as he was buying it. How can this be that he has got his full deposit back with no comeback on his part? No one seems to be bothered! How can this be legal? Our solicitor is bloody useless.

Hi there we accepted an offer on our house with a “ subject to sell” from the potential buyers with a $50k deposit. . Our buyers have now pulled out of the sale as they cannot sell their house. However, we have offered to buy their house so sale can go through. They have declined to accept the asking price for their house. Were in limbo now. Any ideas? Thanks in advance

Thanks fir your replies

Hi i was wondering if anyone has done this ? I want to go to the uk for 3-6 months every year and want to take my dogs. I've just brought a house so I can spend half the year in melbourne the other half in the uk. I cannot be without my dogs. I know it will be expensive but that's how it goes. Thanks in advance.

Thanks Pom queen that's exactly what I said in my post!

Hi We have just lost our beloved 17 year old cocker spaniel. I have a 3 year old blue roan also. I would like another dog not too fussy about the breed. I will be going to the dog homes this weekend but just thought I'd put a note on here first. Happy to look after a dog if owners are going overseas. Anyway .... let me know if anyone us interested. I live in Lilydale Melbourne east. Thanks

Yes it is a fully flexible ticket. Just done the name change online with zero problems. Glad someone has got a bargain.

Ticket sold thanks

qantas obviously if I can't change the name then I won't sell it! I was told $50 for each way ... I will need to check this. If I can't change the name then I'm not the slightest bit bothered . No one has died ..... ! Worst thing would be that I've lost money for the flight. My fault for not checking my mum had insurance.

I purchased a ticket for my mum to come and see us. Unfortunately she now cannot fly for medical reasons. Bargain ticket selling at $1000 via Sydney just need to pay for a name change ?

www.gumtree.com.au is also a great site and we had fantastic short term accommodation when we arrived in Melbourne.

Do it yourself. Of course the agents will tell you that it's better to use them! I found it pretty straight forward to be honest. Good luck

Perhaps instead of coming to ED with a rash that you have had for 3 weeks, an ingrown toenail, a mild headache, back ache etc the list is endless. All minor stuff can be sorted out at a pharmacy, or the GP? However, if I felt like popping into ED to seek professional help then it would be appropriate to pay $7! And while I am waiting I could get myself a coffee, sandwich and bar of chocolate for $10. But this would be ok as I'll be too busy stuffing my face to think about the amount that I've just spent on food but never mind I'll still moan about paying a low fe of $7!!!!!!

yes

Well as a nurse in a very busy emergency department I actually wholeheartly agree with this. I have just spent $400 on my dog at the vets for an eye complaint. We seem to be ok with paying for vets bills etc and yet when it comes to paying for your own medical stuff there is a mutany. The stupid silly things that people come into ED for that could go elsewhere for help .. but they choose to come to ED at no cost to them. I would be more than happy to pay $7 to see a qualified medical practitioner for myself or family if I was concerned in anyway. .. Rant over

I really hope things work out for you. I was just wondering though why you purchased 2 NEW cars? Why not buy secondhand cars for a fraction of the price?

There has been a job freeze. Even the newly qualified nurses cannot get jobs. Funding cuts etc. I think you'll struggle in the current climate. As for agency work .. def not. I wish you well you never know.

Also have a look on www.gumtree.com.au I know some of the members on here say be careful of scams etc. However, I have never had any trouble renting myself and in fact getting a great long term tenant for my place via gumtree.. It's worth a try.

HI I am looking for a painter for a week. My husband is away for this week and I want to get it done while he is away. I have my brother in law staying with me and children. Happy to accommodate for the week bed/breakfast evening meal etc. Plus daily rate for work. Does anyone know anybody who may be interested? I have been fed up with my husband telling me 'he'll do it on the weekend''. I am not sure what I am going to tell him when it is done but I'll cross that bridge when I get to it! He will also be away for a week every other month so there will be plenty of opportunity for the right person. So much to do. I would imagine abut 2-3 months work if it was continuous. Your help is appreciated. location Lilydale 3140

Sad but true. In my case my parents and my parents in law never bothered with us at all. Hardly ever came to visit us when we lived in the UK. Never ever offering to babysit their grandchildren. So now yes they are sad (in the true sense of the word) and lonely no doubt. It cuts both ways. If they had made a smidge of an effort then we would never have emigrated.

Avoid Dandenong and surrounding areas in my opinion!

East Melbourne is better in my opinion. I live in Lilydale a great surburb. 40 minutes to the city, 40 minutes to the beach and 10 minutes to the wineries. Perfect!

I work at Southern Health in Melbourne one of the biggest health care providers. Basically in my opinion there are no jobs. New graduate nurses cannot get a job anymore. There has been a bit of an uproar over it. There has been an oversupply the past year or so of nurses. Very difficult times ahead in my opinion. Good luck.
