Seriously Gaz get a sharehouse, I have a friend who has some spare rooms at her place, she is a really nice dude and lets you hang out in her room which can be cool, nice lamps and shit.

The faces that are blacked out are her 'old' housmates, once again all nice dudes, the cat is still there though, which again is cool.

carn move over?

If you're looking for a room check out the listings on http://melbourne.gumtree.com.au/

After spending weeks fighting with other seekers for a room, I responded to a couple on gumtree and now find myself in the strange situation where I've been offered three of the rooms in share houses I went for. Yay. Turns out beggars CAN be choosers.

using them to store a bunch of stuff at the mo'.

Post by **breaksRbest** » Mon Jun 04, 2007 2:23 pm

I can't believe that some removalists start charging you as soon as the truck leaves the depot.

One company wanted to charge $149 p/hour, which included driving from the depot in Fairfield to South Yarra and then from Brunswick back to Fairfield

fuck THAT

sten · Post by **sten** » Mon Jun 04, 2007 2:44 pm

hu. i think it cost us about $600 for door to door removals from tas to melbourne & including a months storage which i now see was a bargain. tas to mel is a lot further than faifield to south yarra imho.

Post by **breaksRbest** » Mon Jun 04, 2007 2:59 pm

prolly gonna cost us around $350

worth every cent if it saves my back

You need to find a samoan or maori removalist. we had one move us into our place and he was great! only charged us $60 or $80 per hour and none of this from the depot stuff. he even came back to next day to give us a hose for the washing machine because the one we had didn't fit!

Applied for a place in Ascot Vale, will know by Wednesday :fingerscrossed:
*What we did: printed off the application filled and ready - which the prop manager was impressed with
*Rocked up early as and were the first people to enter the place and the first name on top of the list of name and contact
*Introduced ourselves to the prop manager and made small talk
Now it's the nerve racking waiting game.
