@Flying_Hams

Where ya off to? Will you be having a ‘White Christmas?’

Hi @Former-Member  glad to hear the anti inflammatory kicked in to help with the 'mondayitis' lol.  I need to get some of them lol.  

Yes I work usually Mon-Fri.  As it is xmas I am at the moment.  Hours have been cut back so some weeks I was only working 4 days per week which is not great as the shift is only 3.5 hours.  For a number of years I was doing at least 23hrs per week but this year things have gone to between 10-17hrs per week, which is not good when you live on your own and three quarters of your pay goes on rent.   But it is what it is.

I enjoy watching sport (cricket, car racing i.e. supercars and formula one, and AFL in that order...go Blues!!!!).  I like reading, writing, watching movies, playing computer games and hanging out with my two nieces and nephew.  When I can afford it I like doing jigsaw puzzles and tapestry.  I also enjoy royal british and french royal history and ancient egyptian royal history and greek mythology.   And when I get the chance (which is not that often as I don't drive) I love sitting on a beach and chilling out.  I would love to travel more (been overseas 3 times) but money just does not allow that anymore sadly.

 So that is enough about me lol  what interests/hobbies do you have @Former-Member???

Hi @Former-Member 👋 hope you hsve a nice day. ❤️

[Former-Member]

Wow @Scarecrowe, you have such a full life experience: family and hobbies - from cars to tapestry (how’s that?). AND work 4-5days a week.

75% on Rent, OUCH!

They say we should BUDGET:

- 30% housing

- 30% living

- 30% saving

But know that’s not practical.

I asked your hobbies to try match you with some people here but brain not working atm lol Maybe @TAB @Bill16 

i like movies too, some tv series like criminal minds or House or Monk

Creativity is failing lately re depression but I use to love

  🎵 music (piano, vocal, guitar

   /    Sewing (quilting)

  ✍🏼 writing (short stories / journals)

i just looked at a dingy granny flat for $250. I haven’t rented for 20yrs so it feels like a real step backwards. Hoping they will let me have a dog in something better, with a/c and pets allowed. But house sitting for parents for now 

@ Thank you @BlueBay - has your day been good? 

[BlueBay]

Hey @Former-Member

not sure if you know that I’m back in hospital. I’ve done something to my shoulder it’s terribly sore. Might need extra pain relief tonight.
