Getting a life

[nisaba]

I'd forgotten that it's near impossible to find furnished rentals in Australia. So along with the finding a job and somewhere to live, also comes buying all the usual stuff for a house, ALL AT ONCE. Poor ole bank balance. Still, there are a lot of charity furniture places around here that we'll be raiding real soon now.

Things we have so far:

house

bed

fridge/freezer

vacuum cleaner

BBQ

outdoor table for two

steamer

kettle

Australian mobile numbers

Things we don't have:

jobs

car

washing machine

aircon

lawnmower

umbrellas

every other bit of furniture and household electricals

friends

The last item is on the wrong list. They might be far away, but you still have them.

Ah this post speaks to me - there's no such thing as furnished rentals where we're going either. Nor RL friends. At least you're in the (allegedly), friendliest place in the world, hey :)

My mobile number is the same as it always was, if you still have it. Send me a text with your new number!!

Sounds like a great deal of fun! We're gearing up for the opposite, trying to find an unfurnished place and culling a bunch of stuff :)

In what part of Australia are you? You probably said so 100 times, but my memory being what it is...

Good luck with everything, anyway :).

I know what it's like to move into an unfurnished place. Scarily expensive. At least here in the US the Washer/Dryer and Fridge/Freezer are included so we did not have to buy that.

And rather than buy a vacuum cleaner, we hired a cleaning service...
