Economic Stimulus Payment
Friday, March 20th, 2009

What will you do with your ‘economic stimulus’ payment?

I’m sure you have a list of ideas longer than your arm. As we say around here - “We are never going to run out of things to spend money on…”

…and I’m in no position to advise you as it would be illegal for me to do so.

Obviously the govt is hoping you’ll spend the money.
Most businesses would be pleased if you did so.
The local school would love a donation of new books and
The Salvos would do wonders with it.

If you do the maths on turning it into an extra payment on your mortgage you’ll be stunned.

Given dire predictions for the future (by some) of our economy - maybe that’s an opportunity you wouldn’t want to miss.

A trip Round AUSTRALIA!
Wednesday, March 18th, 2009

After years of working ridiculous hours, and constant pain and regret for not spending the time we would like together, having fun… we have come to the decision to head off and do a trip round Oz.

It’s going to take us a few months to get our stuff sorted but plan to be setting off around June this year. I figure it’s easier to sell all our furniture and nick-naks and set ourselves up again when we return – so Ebay will make some great commissions from me over the coming weeks/months and no doubt some people, particularly in our local area will pick up some bargains…

Already our second fridge has gone for $32 It was a big old Kelvinator! What a buy! Anyway, we can’t justify storage charges, it will be nice to have a fresh start when we return. I wonder what it’s like only having enough “stuff” to fit in a Motorhome???
